Packing & Protecting Fragile Items
It is essential that if you are sending a fragile item in a parcel that you really take the time to pack this securely.
We cannot stress this enough. We send large numbers of parcels every month for our customers, and we experience a growing number of damage claims where fragile items have not been packaged correctly, and have subsequently been damaged in transit.
Spending a little extra time packing your item will save you the heartache of recieving a parcel that has been damaged in transit.
Please make sure that your parcel is packaged BEFORE you place your order so that you have the exact weight and dimensions to provide us with so that we can price your delivery based on the exact size.
By doing this you can avoid any surcharges for providing the incorrect package sizes. Taking time to read this guide can save you any losses if your item is damaged in transit.
If your item is classed as insufficiently packaged, you may be unable to claim on our courier’s insurance.
Follow our instructions and you will be confident that your item is packaged to the highest standard to reach its destination in tip top condition.
We have provided a few tips that will really help you prevent any damages in transit.
Use Strong Durable boxes
If you are sending an item you need to make sure that it is packages securely so that it travels through our partner network safely. You should always try to use strong double walled boxes rather than single walled boxes to protect you item on transit. Items will be stacked in transit so using a strong double walled box gives your item the best protection in transit.
Use padding to protect your items
You cannot rely on a strong box alone. If your item can move in the box, you need to ensure you pad this out to prevent this as most damages are caused by items that are insufficiently packed. Use polystyrene beads, blocks, bubble wrap or paper to pad your box to ensure that your item is protects and is prevented from moving. This also gives your box extra strength when other items are stacked on top in transit.
Keep Fragile Items Away from The Box Edges
Don’t take any chances with fragile items, use a box that is bigger than your item but not too much bigger. Make sure there is enough space between your item and the edge of the box, and that you have used sufficient padding to stop movement and strengthen the box for stacking.
Address & Label Your Box Correctly
Addressing and labelling your box correctly is essential to ensure it reaches its destination. You should write the delivery and return address on the inside and outside of the box in bold, waterproof ink. Use a black marker for this. You will also receive courier labels via email from us once you have booked your service and made payment. You should print these labels out and affix to your package securely using a strong waterproof tape.
Choose the right size box
Always choose a box that is the right size for your parcel. Using a box that is too big means your item will rattle around and may be damaged in transit. Boxes that are too big also have a higher chance of collapsing causing damage to your item. Choosing a box that is to small again puts your item at risk as you are unable to add sufficient padding to protect your item, and if you have had to squeeze your item into the box, then there is the possibility that your box may burst or split in transit.
Use Strong Tape to Seal & Secure Your Box
After you have gone to all the trouble of packing your box, the last thing you need is it opening in transit. To avoid this happening, you should use a strong industrial packing tape to secure your box. It is always better to add too much tape rather than not enough. Avoid using household Sellotape as this is not strong enough to secure your parcel in transit.
Mark Your Box with Fragile Items & This Way Up Stickers
Make sure the courier knows that the contents of your box may require a little extra care. It is really important to mark your boxes with “Fragile “Stickers and “This Way Up” signs so that the courier is aware of the contents. While this does not guarantee that nothing unforeseen may happen, we think that if you do this alongside using high quality boxes, packing and tape you can really reduce the risks involved in sending fragile items.

Signing for a parcel in "Good Condition"
Did you know that when you have a parcel delivered and you are asked to sign for this, that you are signing to say that the parcel was recieved “in good condition”.
This means that you may not have even inspected the parcel for damage, but you have accepted delivery, which means the parcel is now in your ownership, so any damage you find after you have signed for it, you will not be able to claim for.
Not many people realize this and are shocked that when they come to make a claim a for damaged parcel, they are told they are unable to do so because the item was signed for “in good condition”
So what should you do?
1. Always check the item being delivered for damage before you sign for this.
2. Never sign for a parcel before you inspect this by opening the box – even if you feel like you are holding up the courier or feel like you are being rushed.
3. If you do find damage either refuse to accept the parcel and advise the courier that you are not satisfied with the items condition or if you do sign for the parcel, make sure all damage is noted on the delivery sheet.
4. Take picture and make sure you have a record of the damage.
5. If you have signed for parcel and it is now in your possession and all damage was noted on the delivery sheet, do not remove the item from its packaging. The courier may want to visit you again to see the damage so leave the item exactly as it was when it arrived.
5.If there is damage notify the courier or broker you purchased the collection from and ask for a claim to be opened. Send all details such as a description of packaging, item value and reciepts to prove this and photos.
Please contact us at Parcelboom.com if you have any questions on claiming for damaged parcels

Book a Parcel Courier Online
Do you have a parcel to send but are not sure how to do this? Typically, you would have wrapped your package and taken this to the post office. This was slow and not the cheapest way to send a parcel. The other option was to book a mainstream courier like, FedEx, UPS or DHL and arrange for them to collect directly from your office or home. This was a much faster method of sending a parcel, but if you were not an account holder, you were not going to receive the most favourable rates as a one off sender, so this again could be quite expensive.

Cheaper Business Parcel Delivery
Today more and more businesses are trading online and sending orders to their customers using either the post office or courier services. Depending on the size of the business and volume of parcels sent every day or week, the company may not be getting the best deal on delivery costs.
A large company sending thousands of parcels each week, will have access to competitive prices direct from the mainstream courier companies, and have prices locked in with a volume-based trade agreement. For the smaller company however, this is more difficult, because, the volume of deliveries may be less predictable, meaning they are unable to commit to specific volumes, in order to get discounted rates or enter into a volume-based trade agreement.
It is with this in mind that Parcelboom.com offer discounted rates to all customers, by using our buying power with some of the world’s leading courier brands. We do not ask our business customers to commit to volumes to achieve discounted pricing. Instead, we offer the same rate to all customers, with an incentive in the form of a rebate if the customer spends over £500. We will then apply rebates at agreed spend levels, meaning your company can benefit from amazing rates as standard and cashback on orders.
If you have a business that sends orders to customers using courier services, contact us today at Parcelboom.com to see how we can help you reduce your delivery costs with our discounted courier services and rebate offer.
Better Parcel Delivery
Everyone wants the cheapest parcel delivery possible and there are endless online couriers and brokers offering this. While it is important to get a great deal, you should make sure that the price you are being quoted is the price you pay.
At Parcelboom.com we have researched the market place, and what we have found is that, the price you see is not always the price that you pay!.
The cheap parcel delivery that you found online via a broker starts off low, but as you progress through the order process, you are hit with extras such as insurance.
Insurance is one of the single things that pushes that cheap parcel delivery price up. With many courier brokers only offering £20 as standard cover, you will be charged for additional cover if your items value exceeds this.
By the time you realise that you will have extra costs to pay, you have completed the form and added all your parcels details, so it is just easier to book it and pay the extra right?, No, just cancel your order and shop around until you find a better deal.
At Parcelboom.com, we try to be more transparent about our charges. While we do add on extras for remote areas and additional handling for large parcels (These costs rare and are standard courier costs which are charged to us).
One thing that does set us apart from the competition is the level of insurance we include as standard. At a glance our prices may be slightly higher than many other brokers on the market, but if you look a little closer, you will see that we only sell premium courier services (Not economy), and we offer up to £15kg of insurance cover as standard, unlike the £20 included cover you will find with other couriers and parcel brokers.
That means if you send a 30kg parcel with Parcelboom.com on our UPS Standard service then you receive up to £300 cover as standard rather than £20 that is offered by other parcel brokers.
If you are sending a parcel, make sure you shop around and compare offers as the cheapest offer that you find may not always be the best deal.
Please feel free to check out the prices that we can offer at Parcelboom.com and if you have any questions, we are always available to help though our live chat.
