When shipping from Wuhan, China to Laem Chabang, Thailand, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and peak river flooding (June-September). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and secure flexible berthing windows. During the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November), prepare for sudden port closures, and plan around tight transshipment connections.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends Purchasing cargo insurance. It can cover loss and breakage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Stationery should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
