Any consignment you wish to send with postagesupermarket must be packed to a professional standard. If these guidelines are not adhered to, any claim you may need to make for loss or damage may be excluded.
What You Must Do....
Check on any prohibitions or restrictions on goods. Use a strong outer container such as a corrugated fibreboard carton with a quality kraft outer liner. Put protective wrapping around each individual item. Use expanded polystyrene chips, polyethylene foam, bubble plastic, crumpled aircushions or shredded paper to cushion fragile items. Please ensure that polyblock surrounds are used on all electrical items. Seal the top and bottom of cartons with an 'H' seal using 48mm or 50mm wide plastic or reinforced carton sealing tape. Strap (with non-metallic strapping if possible) and tape large or heavy items, and use an outer carton strong enough to withstand fully tensioned strapping. Include the sender's address on the outer carton/wrapper, as well as inside the package. When transporting electrical items – e.g laptops, DVD players etc – please make sure that they have the original manufacturer’s transport screws properly secured to ensure that elements/components do not move. What you should NOT do: Don't send dangerous or prohibited goods as you may be liable for prosecution Please ensure that all liquids are sealed in containers that will not leak, and all thick liquids such as grease are wrapped in grease proof paper to prevent damage to other consignments. What You Must Not Do...
Don't use substandard or damaged cartons. Don't allow contents to move within their packaging. Don't allow fragile items inside a package to touch each other. Don't use domestic adhesive tape.
