What should I consider when choosing packaging materials?
Before packing your parcel, consider the following:
- Size and weight: Choose packaging that can safely accommodate the size and weight of your parcel.
- Fragility: Fragile items require sufficient cushioning to reduce the risk of damage during transit.
- Empty space: Use suitable internal packaging to prevent items from moving around inside the box.
- External protection: Use a suitable box and sealing tape to secure the parcel during handling and transportation.
- Parcel type: Choose packaging materials based on whether your parcel is small, large, fragile, or requires additional protection.

What should I do after preparing my packaging materials?
Once you have selected the appropriate packaging materials, pack your parcel securely and prepare it for shipment.
If your shipment requires an Air Waybill (AWB), attach it securely to the parcel. For paperless delivery services, an AWB may not be required.
