Please be sure to leave a gap between each set of characters.
Packaging requirements when sending a parcel to Canada
When sending a parcel with us, please take some time to ensure that it is correctly packaged, this will reduce any chance of damage or delay,
caused by insufficiently packed items. Please wrap any fragile items in a few layers of bubble wrap before inserting into the outer box. Please use new boxes,
rather than previously used ones, as they offer a higher level of protection and use double walled boxes for larger or heavier items.
You can fill any voids within the box with additional packaging material, or foam packaging peanuts. Please shake the box to check for any movement and add additional packing material if needed.
Once you are happy with the packaging, seal the box with 2-3 layers of strong parcel tape and attach the parcel label to the outside of the box, together with a commercial invoice (if applicable).
It is also worth enclosing a further copy of the parcel label inside the box, should the original label become detached or damaged.
If you are insuring your items, please take a few minutes to read the insurance requirements that relate to packaging.
Should you have any questions relating to shipping to Canada, we can be contacted by phone during working hours, live chat or email.
