Are there any special handling instructions for fragile items sent to Argentina from the UK?
Select a carton slightly larger than the item.
You don’t want to use boxes with too much space, as this can cause the contents to shift. Using a box slightly larger than your product, you can fill the remaining space with dunnage to keep everything in place.
Although polyethylene mailing bags are cheaper to ship than cartons, they are not a good choice for breakable and fragile products because they can break easily. Although poly bags come with bubble wrap, this prevents the breakage of delicate items.
Wrap the item in cushioned material.
If your products are not made with supportive packaging and are stored loose (for example, you need to ship a glass makeup tube without a small box around it), you must wrap them in plenty of packing material.
If necessary, wrap the item in foam.
Foam packaging can be customized to specific dimensions for very expensive or fragile items. However, this is not a very scalable solution.
Use air cushions or packaged peanuts.
If the box has space, fill it with airbags, packing peanuts, or crumpled paper.
Add a “fragile” label to the box.
A fragile sticker or label alerts couriers to handle the box with care. You can also use multiple stickers to ensure they are visible to couriers, as long as they don’t cover the shipping label.
Connect a tilt or shock detector.
These devices are generally used for shipments that must remain vertical and require delicate handling. Although they are rare in package shipments and very expensive, they warn you when a fragile item might be damaged and encourage transport workers to pay extra attention.

How do I ensure my package is packaged securely for international air travel to Argentina from the UK?
Choose the right boxes for packaging.
Checking the correct box is essential when shipping internationally. The strength and fit of the box are necessary to ensure safe delivery of items over long distances. Items, especially fragile ones, need snug boxes, leaving minimal space but plenty of room for protective packing materials. This prevents unnecessary movement and possible damage during transportation.
Use protective packing materials and fillers.
Using the correct packaging materials is essential to ensure that products reach their destination intact. Once you have selected the proper box, especially one suitable for standard international shipping, the next important step is to ensure the safety of the contents. This is where the importance of protective packaging materials comes into play for companies catering to international customers.
Seal your package securely.
Ensuring the safety of items during international package shipping goes beyond simply selecting and using the correct protective materials. One aspect often overlooked is how to pack and close the box. Sealing is essential to protect the contents from external elements and possible tampering.
While insufficient sealing compromises package integrity, excessive sealing can cause problems such as adding additional weight to packages, resulting in higher shipping costs. It can also make accessing the content difficult for the recipient without causing harm.
Label your package correctly.
When shipping packages internationally, accurate labeling is critical; in addition to the address, labels also serve as essential instructions for operators so that packages can travel overseas shipping routes correctly and safely. It is essential:
• state recipient details: Ensure the recipient’s name, address, and contact details are up-to-date and error-free.
• Provide a returns address: Add a valid address to facilitate returns or arrange a smoother route if necessary.
• Provide clarity: ensure labels are legible, thus reducing the risk of misinterpretation.

Much of this procedure is often done using automation and technology, which can help speed up the order fulfillment phase. From there, the order status is updated in real-time, and buyers can be informed that the order is being processed.
Step 3: Run the command
Once the order has been processed, the order processing phase can begin. This involves choosing the right items for your order and preparing them for shipping.

Transport insurance
Damage may still occur if shipments are properly packaged and prepared for transportation. Obtaining adequate marine transportation insurance coverage is essential because even experienced freight experts can be surprised by liabilities they didn’t know they had.
When a supplier or freight forwarder handles overseas freight insurance on your behalf, there may be uncertainty about the coverage provided.
Receipt of the goods
When your cargo arrives at your location, carefully inspect the intermodal container and product as they are unloaded and document any damage or moisture you notice. Upon arrival, examine the container for signs of recent damage, holes, and freshly dented areas, indicating that the cargo inside may have been compromised.
Choosing the proper depot/storage for your cargo
Warehousing risks can arise anytime during the cargo’s journey, including while it is in the port awaiting shipment. These risks include improper storage, fire, theft, water damage, and contamination. When choosing a warehouse partner, consider your risk tolerance for warehousing and the risk of losing your cargo. Products prone to theft require special security attention, and perishable goods require specific cooling solutions.
