Shipping to Guyana: Preparing Your Shipment Properly

Did you know that most damaged shipments could be avoided by better packing? Whenever you’re shipping to Guyana or any other international destination, it’s important to remember that your package has a long way to go before it reaches its final destination. Between the time you hand over the package and the time it’s picked up in Guyana, your package will be handled, loaded, travel thousands of miles, and be unloaded.

For shippers, it’s incredibly important to make sure you carefully package your shipment for safe delivery. Here are some helpful tips to make sure your shipment arrives in good condition.

• Choose sturdy packaging—Flimsy boxes just won’t do. Make sure you use only strong, reliable cardboard boxes that will support your shipment on its long trip. The box should be big enough to fit the contents easily with a few inches of room for adding packing materials.
• Use good wrapping materials—The goal is the provide enough wrapping and packaging to hold the contents of your package in place. By securing the cargo, you ensure the items don’t shift around and get dinged up during shipping.
• Clearly label fragile shipments—Place fragile labels on the sides of your box so package handlers will know to take extra care with your shipment.
• Complete all required documentation—When shipping to Guyana and other international destinations, additional documentation must be completed. If you need assistance, an Amerijet representative will gladly help you.
