How to pick the most suitable packaging?</span >
The size and materials of your parcel affect the choose of packaging. Here are some significant factors to consider:
- Item size: Packing your parcel with a packaging that doesn’t suit the size of your parcel might increase the possibility that the parcel be damaged during transit. Therefore, you’ll have to consider the size of your parcel in advance and choose a packaging with similar size to the item when choosing packaging.
- Item Category: According to the type and material of the item, the required degree of protection will vary. For example, fragile products need to add multiple layers of protection (such as adding a layer of Bubble paper). You also need to reserve some space to add other cushioning materials (such as styrofoam) to reduce the impact of friction and product damage. If you want to send items that are difficult to destroy (such as clothes, books, etc.), you can place them in the same box. If you want to send fragile items (speakers, ceramics, glassware, handicrafts, etc.), you must wrap them completely in cushioning material (Bubble paper packaging, etc.), and then mail them in separate boxes.
- Item Weight: Packing with a light box or a used box could lead to parcels getting damaged. Therefore, we recommend using a cardboard box or a reinforced plywood box.If you have any questions about packaging, please feel free to contact fuuffy!

fuuffy’s Reminder
The courier only comes to pickup the parcel but will not assist in packaging. If the parcel is not packed properly, it may result in parcel damage, delay in delivery and even affect insurance claims.
Each single parcel is treated as one package. Even two or more parcels are packed together and make them look like a single parcel, they will still be treated as multiple package.
fuuffy’s Reminder
Apart from packing the parcel, please be reminded to print out the shipping labels and commercial invoices sent to you along with the fuuffy confirmation email, and give them to the courier staff together with the parcel.
