Securely send bags and boxes to Kuwait with our expert packing guide
Wrapping and packing your delivery shipment safely when shipping luggage internationally is essential. We highly recommend hiring professional packing services to ease stress. Otherwise, give yourself plenty of time and follow our top 4 tips below. For even more in-depth advice, read How to choose a box for shipping and Preparing large items for collection.
Seal your boxes:
Gather all your packing materials, like bubble wrap and parcel tape. Secure the base of your box by folding in the small flaps, then the large flaps, and seal them with multiple layers of overlapping parcel tape.
Cover any exposed edges with more tape, and wrap tightly around the bottom for extra security. Once your box is full, seal the lid using the same process.
Be careful with delicate items:
Use bubble wrap on everything and three layers for fragile things. Place the heaviest goods at the bottom of your box and lighter effects above them and towards the centre.
Fill gaps with cushioning materials like hand towels or packing paper. Once full, shake your box softly. If you hear a sound, add more cushioning materials until it stops.
Complete your inventory:
Log in to your account and fill in your inventory — a list of every item in your delivery shipment. Customs officials in Kuwait will have access to it; therefore, accuracy is a must.
With a marker pen, write the job number, box number, and shipment owner's destination city and country on two sides of all containers. Double-check with your inventory for accuracy as you write.
Prepare for collection day:
Weigh all delivery containers on bathroom scales to ensure they are within our max. 30kg/66lbs weight limit. If something exceeds the limit, move excess items from a heavy container to a lighter one.
For a smooth collection day experience, take all your boxes, bags, and luggage as close to your building's entrance as possible the night before.
