Shipping  Tips

Shipment to Destination Port

Do’s and Don’t’s

• Ship early and allow extra time for delivery as delays occur.

• Appliances should be properly packaged and clearly labeled even when they are in their original boxes.

• Do not pack hazardous items, like explosives and acid, etc.

• Do not pack plastic containers of any fluid. They burst. If you must send fluids, use aluminum containers.

• Do not pack glassware in barrels. Glassware should be professionally crated and padded adequately.

• Do not exceed the recommended or allowable weight on any package.

• Do not ship perishables in barrel e.g. onions, apples or potatoes.

• Do not mix food with soap.

• Make sure all items are properly padded

• Make sure your barrel/box is not overstuffed.

• Make sure your barrel is sealed in your presence and record the seal number. Advise your family to check for this seal at inspection and report any discrepancies immediately.

• Seal boxes properly, preferably with reinforced gummed paper tape.

• Please note that insurance is for all risks and covers damages caused by storm and other perils. Insurance does NOT cover damages caused by improper packing. For example, it does not cover spillage inside a barrel or items packed inside a freezer. In addition, insurance cannot cover theft on undeclared/unconfirmed items.  Laparkan does not inspect packaged items and therefore cannot be held accountable for damaged or faulty items that may have been delivered by suppliers or manufacturers.
