Cardboard boxes vs plastic boxes

Cardboard boxes are resistant and flexible (if they are in good conditions), so although they are piled up at several warehouses during the trip, the box protects its content.

We don’t accept plastic or wood boxes as they can easily break out. Just cardboard boxes are permitted.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND THEM

You can buy the packaging when placing the order with us, and it will be delivered to the address provided in 24-48 working hours (to Spain) or in 3-4 working days (to Europe).

Otherwise you can buy at the shops on your city (supermarkets, shops), but be sure that the boxes are in perfect conditions and without any dangerous product (bleach, medicines) labels.

We suggest you to hire an additional insurance in case of that you luggage is high valued.

How must be the boxes (dimensions)

Here we show you the measurements of our boxes , although you can use any packaging box in optimum conditions, as long as the measurements are "coherent" with their weight.

The maximum size is 320 cm length and combined perimeter being the length (A) of the longest side of a package. The following formula must be applied in order to calculate the length and perimeter of the parcel:

length A + (width C x 2) + ( height B x 2) = less than 320

How to fill packing boxes

You can fill the boxes with your clothes, books, etc. but always be sure that there are no empty spaces inside the boxes. In this case, use bubble wrap, polystyrene peanuts or foam protections to fix the content inside the boxes. These empty holes inside the box are the parts that can be deformed when they are piled up. So it is very important to fill them properly.

What can or cannot be sent

Both in step 1 of the order and in point 8 of our Terms and Conditions it is established that there are certain materials that cannot be sent or must be sent with additional insurance. If you have any questions, check the list in case you have any doubt.

How to close the boxes

When the boxes are filled up, close them with big adhesive tape. Check that they are perfectly sealed up and reinforce its corners (it is the most vulnerable part of the box). Stick the labels (sent by us) on the biggest face of the box as in the image, and that’s it! A good idea will be to put the label inside plastic covers to protect them.
