Books and documents often look compact but can be heavy when stacked in multiple layers. When sending books to the Philippines, you should prepare them according to quantity and purpose of use: personal books, study materials, sales publications or original records. These groups need to clearly describe when asking for transportation plans.

Sort to avoid sending by mistake

Make a list of book titles or document groups, quantity, new or used condition and well-founded declared value. Separate important original documents from popular books. If there are documents containing personal data, use a sealed envelope and only provide information necessary for transportation.

For documents with deadlines, you need to ask for a suitable plan and reserve processing time. Do not consider the expected shipping time as a guarantee that documents will be received by the agency on time.

Protects from paper surface to outer box

  • Cover each group of books with suitable protective layer, keeping the paper dry before closing.
  • Insert corners and edges so that the cover does not directly collide with the box wall.
  • Use dividers or mats when stacking multiple layers to prevent small books from sliding into gaps.
  • Choose a sturdy box according to the actual load; Try lifting it slightly to check the bottom and stability.

Do not use containers that are soft or show signs of moisture. Desiccant materials, if used, should be selected and placed appropriately so as not to stain documents; It is not a substitute for sealed, dry packaging.

Divide packages according to operation ability

Instead of trying to fit all the books into one big box, try weighing them after each group. The package breakdown should be compared with the quote as there may be minimums or calculations for each package. Record “package 1/3”, “2/3”, “3/3” with the batch code for easy counting, but still keep the detailed item description in the list.

Before delivery to warehouse

Capture the open box, the list of contents, and the sealed box. For originals that are difficult to replace, ask clearly about the acceptance conditions and scope of responsibility before sending. See more packing instructions sent to the Philippines; Do not label the goods as "documents" if there are products or gifts inside.
