    The "testing" of the box is what I imagine some mail services do in their breaks.

    Hilarious testing of the package! It is however, how some transport companies handle goods, especially if it states that is fragile. Thank you for this awesome demo!

      The problem is, he has not shown how to pack multiple items like plates, or items with handles, like teacups. I am not sure the "abuse" test would work in those cases...

    My brother-in-law had a job loading trailers with parcels, his instruction was to build a wall of parcels as high as he could (he is 6 feet 4 inches) with regular shaped parcels it was eight feet high, ten feet from the back of the trailer. The rest of the loading team were instructed to throw the parcels over the wall, this was repeated until the trailer was full. Some of the parcels could reach a height of 14 feet and then have 5 kilo parcels thrown on top of them. Your dynamic test is accurate.

    Thank you so much for this. I have a small online business had a couple online orders break in transit. I put my heart and soul into my business so it’s really heartbreaking to see. Not to mention I take those orders as a loss and bad reviews can damage your reputation. I’ll definitely follow your tips for next time!

    USPS has broken 3 out of my last 4 glass items. I'm going to follow your advice here going forward and hopefully they don't break any more! Thank you.
    I love you prep the item behind you I'm going to start doing that.

    One issue I would point out is not using a box is oversized. Void fill isn't necessarily intended to be protection material. It is intended to help brace the item and help it retain its position. My personal rule is 2 inches of bubble on all sides of the item. Then try to find the closest sized box that matches the bubble wrap. Then as you pointed out it is important the packing peanuts are tightly packed. When you opened the box at 3:05 the packing peanuts were compressed because there was enough room for them to move and break down.

    Just bought 20 pieces of potter to resell and was nervous about packing them. Don’t think I need to watch another video on how to ship after this. I’ve heard shippers should pack breakables as if they will be thrown around a lot. This pretty much covered that! Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it.

    • @AntiquesChamberlain
      @AntiquesChamberlain  5 років тому

      No need to be nervous. As this video shows, if packed correctly these packages can handle almost anything. Good luck with your sales.

    This clip would be unbeatable if you proposed 2 -3 replacements for peanuts.
    I don't have any at home and need to send some porcelain fast.
    And no need for two boxes.
    Anyway, I'll recommend this to friends.

    How do we pack if we have bubble wrap but no peanuts as shipping multiple items in same box?? Will scrunched up newspaper in-between bubble-wrapped items and around outer parts of box \ help the items from moving and provide enough protection to submit to your test?

    Great video and kicking in the box outside was Hilarious but the downside is that that item is really small compared to the box Which can cost a lot more and end up eating all your profits especially when you shipping a 20 item

  • @MorreskiBear
    @MorreskiBear 2 роки тому

    It's a problem that we cannot pack smaller, we treat the box gently because we know what's inside. The post office though, is forced to power through an endless stream of parcels so they cannot afford to slow down to be cautious. And like another commented pointed out, the ridiculous overkill of padding volume adds greatly to the shipping cost.

    Hi, if we concern about environment esp. Plastic and microplastic issue, then how the safest way to package fragile item which is totally eco friendly? Because bubble wrap has already been a problem & harm our nature. Many of us just throw it off in the garbage after unboxing.

    Hi, thanks for the explanation. but I'm wondering, I sell dishes online and I put more than one dish in a box. It is not cost effective for me to send one piece in a box. How would you suggest wrapping a set of 4 plates. It's been a struggle. I've tried bubble wrapping each one and they still end up breaking very often. any ideas?
