Avoiding Damaged Packaging With OopBuy Shipping

2025-11-26

Have you ever eagerly awaited an international shipment, only to be disappointed by damaged packaging or broken items upon arrival? At OopBuy, we understand that proper packaging is the first line of defense in protecting your orders during their international journey.

The Importance of Proper Packaging

International shipping subjects packages to numerous hazards including:

  • Multiple handling transitions
  • Pressure changes during air transport
  • Potential moisture exposure
  • Stacking pressure in containers
  • General transit vibrations and impacts

Without adequate protection, even the sturdiest items can arrive damaged. That's why OopBuy has implemented specialized packaging protocols to ensure your purchases reach you in perfect condition.

How OopBuy Repacks Fragile Goods

Our Comprehensive Fragile Goods Process:

1. Professional Assessment

Our packaging specialists evaluate each fragile item to determine the optimal protection method based on item type, weight, and fragility level.

2. Customized Cushioning

We utilize appropriate cushioning materials including:

  • Bubble wrap for shock absorption
  • Foam corner protectors for delicate edges
  • Air cushions for void filling
  • Cardboard dividers for multi-item shipments

3. Secure Boxing

Fragile items are placed in new, durable corrugated boxes with a minimum 2-inch buffer zone on all sides filled with protective materials.

4. Reinforcement

We reinforce box seams with heavy-duty packing tape and clearly mark packages with "Fragile" and "Handle With Care" labels in multiple languages appropriate for the shipping route.

Pro Tips for Maximum Protection

For Glass and Ceramics

Request individual wrapping and cardboard partitioning between items to prevent contact damage.

For Electronics

Ask for anti-static packaging and consider paying extra for extended cushioning.

For Collectibles

Mention if you're preserving original packaging for collector value, and we'll take extra care with outer boxes.

For Liquids

Request secondary containment and absorbent materials in case of leakage during pressure changes.
