It's easy to understand that some items are a lot easier to ship than others due to how fragile the item may be. So, you should also understand that when you need shipping services for these breakable items selectivity is important. Look for a company that has shipped fragile or delicate items for many years. Have they shipped high value items? Do they have the capability to build custom boxes or custom crates? Have they packed china, pictures, marble and sculptures? Are their personnel brand new, or do they have years of experience in the packing and moving industry?
There are lots of different types of breakable items shipped throughout the world today. It's important to take a look at each of them and their special needs before shipping your items. Doing so will allow you to have peace in mind as you shift your items. Some examples include:
- Heirloom China, crystal, and stemware pieces are delicately wrapped in bubble wrap and double boxed with peanuts so that it arrives safely at its location.
- Crystal and ceramic chandeliers are shipped via crates that are specially built for them. Did the moving company ask for a picture of the chandelier ahead of time so that they can determine the safest way to pack the chandelier? Did they discuss that the chandelier will need to be hung during transport. The crates should be lined with Styrofoam and then peanuts are used to fill the rest of the space.
