4-step packing guide for your shipment to Malaysia
Malaysia is thousands of miles from the USA; therefore, it’s imperative that you securely wrap your belongings. Simply follow our four easy methods below to become a packing expert (find more detailed information in our Excess Baggage shipping FAQs).
Assemble your shipping boxes:
It's essential to simplify your packing process and start it sooner rather than later. Ensure that you organise what you need and don't need to make the process run smoothly. Order as many shipping boxes from us as you need, and we’ll provide you with a free Starter Kit that includes bubble wrap, parcel tape, a marker pen and other packing necessities.
Protect fragile things:
Package your possessions into shipping boxes thoroughly and add packing paper or newspaper to prevent them from rattling around inside during transit. Remember to place heavy things in your shipment at the bottom of the box and lighter belongings above and in from the sides.
Use plenty of tape:
The more tape the better! The key to securing and strengthening your shipping boxes is to ensure all seams are covered and the tape extends over the sides to prevent the lid from bursting open during transit. Furthermore, you can add more tape in a cross-pattern to further strengthen your shipping boxes.
Ensure you’re ready for our driver:
Finally, to keep the process running smoothly, use a marker (which we can provide) to clearly write your name and job number on both sides of every box you’re shipping to Malaysia. Also, ensure that you can pick up the box before our driver arrives as they aren't permitted to lift anything over 30kg/66lbs.
The website made booking and tracking easy. The shipment was handled well. It took approx. 3 months to get my shipment delivered to Malaysia. The shipment costs are stated clearly including the cost of customs clearance before I placed my booking. Made it easy for me to compare costs with other shipping companies. Overall, pleasant experience.
