Shipping Toys & Sporting Goods from Long Beach to Savannah via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive sporting goods, choose a multi-layer approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a reinforced shipping box with padding. Place moisture absorbers for long-distance or ocean shipments of leisure products.
