Tips for Packing Your Container: |
- In rare cases, you may need a permit
to have a shipping container position at your location;
you may want to confirm with your local city hall.
- Please check the container for any
holes or serious dents and clean it out if necessary.
- The container sits on a flat bed
about 4 ft. from the ground, as there is no ramp or
lift attached, you may make or rent a ramp or simply
have more manpower to load and secure your items in
the container.
- It is important to secure your items
in the container to prevent any shifting, as that may
cause damage to your items.
- The walls of the container are corrugated
and have grooves so you can use strong ropes, nylon,
or straps to secure your items. The container floor
is wooden and you can nail items down to secure.
- Make sure that there is no leakage
of any liquid. If you are loading motorized vehicles
in the container, it is most important that gasoline
must be drained and battery terminals disconnected and
battery secured.
- Before closing the container, you
may want to brace the back with partitions to prevent
any forward or backward shifting.
- A tight fitting load is the key to
prevent damages to your items.
- Do not load any hazardous materials
in the container, such as paint, alcohol, ammunitions
or even perfume. If you are not sure of any item that
might be hazardous, please check with one of our agents.
- These are just some tips to
add to You list when loading container, please use good
discretion and care when loading the container to prevent
any problems that might occur due to improper or disregard
in loading of the container.

Tips for Packing Boxes: |
- If you are using used boxes, make
sure you cover up completely the markings on the boxes
with adhesive tapes, otherwise you can use new moving
boxes.
- Adequate padding providing cushion
strongly recommended for fragile or breakable items.
Each box should be filled full. Do not use newspaper
to fill any voids. Sometimes double boxing with foams
in between them is a good idea for very fragile items.
- Do not pack any hazardous materials
such as alcohol, ammunitions, aerosol or even perfume
in the boxes. If you are not sure of any item that might
be hazardous, please check with one of our agents.
- All boxes must be shut and sealed
with strong adhesive tapes.
- Label each box with your full name
and the country that is shipping to and the number and
amount of boxes (1 of 12).
- These are just some tips to add to
your list when packing your boxes, please use good discretion
and care.
