Preparing Boxes

Little details when packing your goods can cause damage or delay your shipment. Here's what you can do to help ensure every box you send arrives on time and in perfect condition.

What is "Heavy" ?

Any parcel weighing over 23 kg is classified as a heavy shipment by the official regulators. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will need to go on a pallet. Shipments under 70 kg can usually travel without one, although this varies depending on the region.

What is "Large" ?

While there is no official classification for large goods, anything that needs to go on a pallet is usually placed in this category.

Large shipments may incur an Exceed Dimensions fee depending on the service you choose. For Economy or Domestic services, this applies to shipments larger than 2.4 x 1.2 x 1.8 m. For Express Services, it’s 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.5 m.

‍

What is "Oversized" ?

Any single item heavier than 500 kg or too large to be palletised will require a unique solution designed by our team of specialists. E.g. Tail-lifted goods, industrial equipment.

Reliable

1. Choose Quality

Used boxes lose strength. Ensure your box is rigid and dry, with no punctures or damage.

2. Avoid Empty Space

Too much padding reduces stacking strength. Avoid boxes that are too big for their contents and require excessive padding. Otherwise they risk getting crushed.
