Best Way To Send Car Parts
Maybe you’re attempting to sell an old car part personally, or you’re a specialist car breaker that needs to send car parts several times a week? No matter what your reason for shipping car parts by courier, an effective delivery begins with the packaging.
Packaging materials
Prior to preparing your shipment, ensure that you’ve got the proper materials to hand. Here’s what you’ll need:
A sturdy outer container, we recommended double-walled corrugated composition board or wooden crate. It's possible to create your own box from durable cardboard sheets fixed with tape.
Resilient internal packing in order to keep your items protected and restrict movement e.g. polystyrene blocks or packaging peanuts.
Aesthetic protection, such as, thick bubble wrap.
Wheels
All car wheels ought to be boxed and all voids packed to prevent them from shifting around in the box. This means putting them in a strong container like a wooden crate or corrugated cardboard container.
Doors and body panels
When you need to send car parts such as doors and panels, these parts are especially vulnerable to damage including dents, and scratching, so take additional care when packing them up. Bubble wrap and bin bags only is not enough to safeguard them from scrapes and scratches.
If you need to send larger car parts that are unlikely to dent, for instance a plastic bumper, then this could potentially be protected with a covering of foam wrap fixed with tape.
Sealing the package
This element is equally as significant as using the correct packing materials. If your container isn’t perfectly sealed up, certain contents may break through and make your parcel unsuitable for delivery.
Other things to consider
When you send car parts take note of the size and weight restrictions, ensure you’re familiar with oversized parcels also.
Destination Details
Confirm you’ve got the correct address details and make certain service barcode tags are secure and clearly visible.
