BOXES:<\/p>\n

Boxes cannot be Torn, Crushed or otherwise weakened in any form or manner \u2013 see example below of unsuitable packaging.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

A sturdy box with Perfect corners, Lid flaps, firm and strong sides are acceptable and will enable safe shipping of all your goods<\/p>\n

NB: Over 35kg \u2013 Boxes \/ Parcels heavier than 35 kg must be repacked as per the above in two separate boxes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unsuitable packaging, as can be seen in the examples below, will not withstand a lengthy journey. No heavy items should be placed in weak or punctured boxes. Boxes must be strong, stable and of good quality and size to ensure safe delivery to any destination.<\/p>\n
