During the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), build in buffer days to accommodate potential weather disruptions and avoid tight schedules. Expect increased congestion during the North American Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings and flexible cut-off times. Additionally, during the Southern Ocean Storm Season (May-September), plan for extended transit times and alternative routing to mitigate delays from severe weather conditions.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and add a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.
For small parcel shipments of low-value Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend adding cargo insurance. It can cover Moisture damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Office products should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and Ensure that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific permits required for importing office supplies into Chile.
The route may experience seasonal weather patterns, such as storms or increased rainfall, which could affect port operations and handling procedures. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts during peak seasons.
