Sending fragile goods by post
If sending anything valuable please buy fragile packaging tape to stick around the outside of the cardboard box.
Make sure that any fragile goods are clearly marked so that people will know to be careful with them.
If a courier sees a parcel that is marked with distinctive red and white tape then straight away they can tell that whats inside may be damaged if not handled correctly.
Make sure that you pack you items correctly though just in case they do suffer any minor bumps or falls.
A strong box should be used to put the items in to give some external protection.
For the inside of the package you should wrap your goods in a good cushioning material such as bubble wrap.
You could also fill the box with scrunched up newspaperto give increased protection.
