Additionally, build in extra buffer days during the Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and monitor weather forecasts closely to adjust schedules as needed.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, choose stronger boxes, control pallet height, and add edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and Ensure heavier sports equipment are not loaded on top of lighter leisure products.
