First things first – you need to pack your items in a sturdy box. If you don’t have one, you can order supplies online.
Wrap items separately and use cushioning material. Get packaging tips.
Keep in mind, there are additional rules for special-care and prohibited items.
Seal your box with heavy-duty tape (preferably reinforced), by applying three strips to both the top and bottom of the box, so that the middle seam and the two edge seams are sealed.
You’ll need to know the dimensions and weight of your box. Keep them handy when you create a shipment.

Expanded polystyrene peanuts and crumpled paper won't protect your shipment effectively because both materials crush and shift under heavy loads.
