Shipping fragile or valuable items can be nerve-wracking. In addition to being easily breakable, many delicate items are also of significant sentimental and financial value. This can make many feel hesitant to ship such items. But when a little extra care is taken in the transport process, many fragile items can be shipped safely--even across significant distances.
Fragile items do need to be shipped in heavier-duty packaging than some other items, but as long as the process proceeds with proper care, there is no need to worry about the safety of your fragile or valuable items.
When packaged properly, you can safely ship:
-
Pictures with glass
-
Office equipment
Those are just a few examples of the items that arrive safely to their destinations with the proper packing practices. There really is no limit to what can be shipped if the packaging is sturdy and items are treated with care. In the past, proper packaging has enabled safe shipment of everything from a computerized dragon, to an airplane from an amusement park ride.
The key to safe shipping is in the packaging. Rather than putting a valuable item in the packaging a manufacturer or standard mail system provides, those who plan to ship more fragile items may want to consider a more customized solution. Using a container sized specially to fit a valuable or fragile item, coupled with extra padding inside the container, will ensure safety during the shipping process.
