Package and Ship
Will your package make it there in one piece? It will if you’ve packed it properly. Hi, my name is Mo Morrison from the Business Helper; Traverse City, MI. Here are a few rules to follow when your preparing to package and ship something: determine the products value and sensitivity, use bubble wrap and packing peanuts, and double box sensitive items.
If your purchasing insurance and something happens, be prepared to prove the value of the damaged product. You cannot purchase insurance for paper products like savings bonds, checks, money orders, cash or documents. Most damage claims are denied because the package was determined to be insufficiently packed by sender.
You should always have sensitive products professionally packed. Items like: pictures & art pieces, ceramics, glassware, and other breakables including electronics and laptops all require proper fill & bubble and need to be double boxed. Double boxing means the smaller box is inside the larger box surrounded by 2″ of packing peanuts. Avoid using paper as packing material, paper is not considered to be sufficient packing material for breakable items. Stick to using bubbles and peanuts, and always seal electronics in plastic from packing peanuts.
Do not ship boxes wrapped in gift wrap paper, or brown paper; the paper tends to tear and the whole address can be completely torn off the box. Shipping companies may refuse to accept a package wrapped in paper.
