Shipping Tips
2
Choose the right box

• Use a box that's strong enough to protect the
  contents and large enough to leave space for
  adequate cushioning. New boxes are best, but if
  you choose a previously used box, make sure you
  remove old shipping labels, and make sure the box
  is in good shape with no weak spots or cracks.
  Old or new, make sure the box is made of heavy
  corrugated cardboard.

Corrugated Cardboard

• If you can not find a box to pack your freight,
  use corrugated cardboard to wrap your item on
  top, bottom, and all sides making sure that all
  of the freight is totally covered.

4
Protect and Pack

• Don't skimp on cushioning material! Pack items
  tightly to avoid shifting, and make sure the
  cushioning material covers all sides of the
  object. If you're shipping several items
  together, wrap each one separately and provide
  enough cushioning to prevent movement. You can
  never have too much cushioning!

• Seal Carefully After packing, gently shake the
  box. If nothing moves, it's ready to be sealed
  for Shipping. For a strong seal,always use
  packing tape that is designed for shipping. Make
  sure to Cover all seams with tape, and be sure
  not to leave any open areas which could snag.

7
Address Correctly

• Use the BOL as the address label on each box or
  hand write a label with the name and address of
  the recipient. 

8
Choose the right Crate

• This is a crate made with a pallet or wood
  being the base, and having a wood frame all the
  way around the base. Corrugated cardboard should
  be attached to the sides and to the top to
  completely cover the freight.

Wooden Crate

• This is a completely enclosed crate totally
  made out of wood. The top, bottom and all sides
  should be made of wood or a wood substance.

Palletizing your Shipment

• If you are using a pallet make sure that your
  freight is properly secured to the pallet. In
  some cases the carriers want items on a pallet to
  also be covered in shrink wrap or corrugated
  cardboard. This is also a protection factor for
  your freight and will give you peace of mind.

Shipping Insurance

• We continually monitor and validate every one of
  our carrier's safety ratings, insurance coverage,
  and credentials. We only use carriers that are
  fully licensed and insured, but remember all used
  items fall under the national motor freight
  council guidelines of only 10 cents per pound
  maximum carrier coverage.

• So, you may also want to find additional cargo
  insurance. You may want to check with your home
  or business insurance provider, as they may offer
  freight insurance coverage. Freight insurance is
  also available under the insurance listings of
  your local yellow pages.
