How do I pack a small parcel for shipping?
Shipping a small parcel requires you to select a package as large as possible to fit the items inside. We recommend filling any empty spaces for safety reasons. Finally, it remains to seal the opening of the package.
We encourage you to use natural materials such as wood wool to fill the box and paper tape to seal it. You will be doing nature even more of a favour if you use previously used cardboard and filler. However, these must not be damaged.
