Tips
9 April 2024
Nowadays, many people choose to sell their children's accessories online, for example when the child grows out of them. When shipping bulkier items, such as a pushchair, special care must be taken to ensure that the item is properly protected before transport. How much does it cost to send a pushchair by courier and how do I do it?
How do I prepare and secure my trolley for courier delivery?
Customers often choose to send baby accessories by courier. While the shipment of small items, such as clothes or toys, does not raise any questions, the shipment of larger products, such as a pram, may seem problematic at first glance.
In fact, transferring slightly larger items via courier does not have to be a problem at all. The basic thing is to secure and pack it properly to ensure the parcel is safe during transport.
How do I send a pushchair by courier? If the item is used, the first step is to wash it thoroughly. The next step is to disassemble the pushchair into smaller pieces, which will significantly reduce the size of the parcel.
Ensure that all components detached from the trolley are properly secured. You can, for example, wrap them in stretch film, which will help prevent them from moving around inside the pack and bumping into other parts during transport.
In addition, remember to protect the wheels so that they do not rotate while the courier van is moving. Use packing tape, for example, for this purpose.
Packing the trolley for courier delivery
The couriers will ensure that the parcel is delivered on time and safely, while the customer has to take care that the courier cart does not end up damaging the product as a result of improper packing. So how do you do it properly?
Wrap the folded trolley to compact dimensions in plastic and protect it from scratching. Place it in a regular shaped cardboard box. Use the original packaging or an old cardboard box that you already have at home (provided it is in good condition, of course).
Once you have put the trolley in its packaging and secured the protruding parts, you should take care to fill the empty spaces. For this you can use, for example, ecological sprinkles, air bags, bubble wrap or foam sheets.
Thanks to the filling, the trolley will not move during transport - otherwise this could not only damage your parcel, but also damage other parcels that are in the courier's van.
How do I send a 3-in-1 pushchair by courier?
The 3-in-1 trolley has additional components. In this case, it seems a little more complicated due to the larger number of components, but preparation for shipment is in the same way as for the standard models.
So how do you pack a 3-in-1 pushchair for shipping? It may be necessary to pack it in more than 1 cardboard box due to its size. Finally, the parcel should be carefully sealed and labelled so that it is visible.
The same steps should also be taken by those wondering how to send a wheelchair by courier. It is therefore crucial to disassemble the item into smaller pieces to reduce the size of the parcel and to carefully secure each piece.
How do I send a trolley by courier?
What is the cost involved in shipping a trolley? It all depends on the dimensions and weight of the parcel to be sent. For parcels not exceeding 25 kg with maximum dimensions of 41 x 38 x 64 cm you can send the trolley using the InPost Mobile application or the InPost Fast Shipping service and send it via Parcel Machine. However, this only applies to really small trolleys (e.g. toy trolleys) or those that are easy to dismantle.
In most cases, however, pushchairs will exceed the designated limits for Parcel Post machines. Shipping via InPost courier is possible for parcels with a maximum size of 50 x 50 x 80 cm and a weight of up to 25 kg.
If the parcel exceeds the largest possible dimension, the trolley will be sent as a non-standard parcel. Its transport is carried out on a door-to-door basis. The pricing of such a service is an individual matter and is based primarily on the size and weight of the shipped parcel.
