Tips
Assessing your item’s requirements and choosing the right packing materials
We understand the importance of assessing each item’s unique requirements and selecting the appropriate packing materials to ensure safe and secure delivery. We consider the size, weight, fragility, and value of the item, as well as the transport environment, to choose the right materials, such as bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and durable boxes. Our expert packing techniques further ensure that the item is protected from damage during transit.
Wrap all items separately
We prioritize the safety and security of all items in transit. To ensure that each item arrives at its destination in pristine condition, we wrap all items separately using appropriate materials such as bubble wrap, packing paper, and foam inserts. This helps to prevent any damage from friction, impact, or movement during transport. Our team of experts has years of experience in packing items of varying shapes, sizes, and fragility, ensuring that each item is handled with utmost care and attention to detail.
Cushioning and filling: leave no empty space, but don’t overstuff
At Hey deliver, we recognize the need for good padding and filling in preventing damage to products during transit. Our skilled crew ensures that there is no vacant space within the packaging, as this can cause products to shift and collide. However, we understand the need of avoiding overstuffing, which can result in pressure points and damage. Our crew carefully picks cushioning materials such as packing peanuts and bubble wrap to ensure that things are securely and safely packaged while in transit.
Sealing your boxes with the H-taping method
The security and safety of every item in transportation is a top priority. We seal boxes using the H-taping technique to guarantee that your things are safe and secure during the shipping procedure. With this technique, the box’s top and bottom seams are taped shut, creating an “H” shape that strengthens the corners and edges. This technique makes sure that boxes stay closed and stops anything from spilling out or becoming damaged while being transported.
Avoid delays by ensuring that address details are correct
At hey deliver, we understand the importance of timely and accurate delivery. To avoid any delivery delays, it is crucial to ensure that address details are correct. Our expert team verifies all address details at the time of booking and provides real-time updates to our customers throughout the shipping process. We also recommend double-checking the accuracy of the address details at the time of booking, as this can help to prevent any potential delays or issues.

Some Useful Tips for Packaging International Shipments
No consignment can travel up to the destination in sealed condition. It will be opened and checked at various check-points. Therefore packaging must be strong enough to sustain the pressures of journey. Under any circumstances overnight, no one will be responsible for any damage/breakage of the consignment in transit.
- Ensure that the packing box is suitable in size and strength to hold its contents.
- Ensure that the cushioning material is stuffed generously in the box.
- Use of strapping is a good way to seal the box as it supports even weaker boxes.
- Fragile items should always be packed by a professional packer with proper markings indicating it as FRAGILE.
- Ensure that specially designed boxes are used for packing floppies and video-cassettes.
- Ensure that while packing sharp items like Knives, Scissors etc. the edges and points of these items are fully protected.
- Shipments packed in wooden box should have an open-able lid, which can be opened and re-locked again and again.
- Ensure that no single package weighs more than 35 Kgs.
