Shipping Toys & Sporting Goods from Charleston to Miami via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive sporting goods, select a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a double-wall box with cushioning. Include moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of toys and games.

For most Toys and sporting goods, a dry van normally works, but shippers should confirm door seals and use drying agents. For premium toys with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, look at additional interior lining on routes with tropical climates.
