How to Transport Fragile or Valuable Items
Fragile and valuable items need fewer touch points, good padding and clear insurance. Here's what to consider.
Reduce handling
Every transfer adds risk. Dedicated transport, where one team collects and delivers, avoids depots and sorting.
Pack properly
Small items should be boxed with plenty of padding. Larger items should be blanket wrapped and protected at the corners.
Declare the value
Tell your courier the item's value so insurance can be confirmed in advance. Cover is always subject to policy terms.
Keep records
Photograph the item before collection. Many couriers can provide photos at collection and delivery.
