RizzitGo Shipping: How to Protect Packages During International Transit
Store packaging photos and inspection details to safeguard against damage or lost parcels
International shipping presents unique challenges—from handling by multiple carriers to varying environmental conditions. While RizzitGo ensures reliable service, taking proactive steps with documentation can significantly enhance your parcel's security. This guide outlines practical measures to protect your shipments.
Why Documenting Your Shipment Matters
Despite rigorous handling standards, international transit involves many touchpoints. Documenting your package's condition before dispatch provides crucial evidence if issues arise, streamlining the claims process and ensuring accountability.
Key Benefits of Documentation:
- Claims substantiation
- Carrier accountability
- Peace of mind
- Carrier accountability
Step-by-Step: Creating Your Shipment Record
1. Pre-Packaging Photography
Before sealing your package, photograph items from multiple angles. Capture any existing imperfections or special features. Use a neutral background with good lighting for clarity.
2. Packaging Process Documentation
Record your packaging methods—show cushioning materials, inner boxes, and reinforcement techniques. These images demonstrate your care in preparation.
3. Final Package Photography
Photize the fully prepared shipment, including:
- All six sides of the box
- Clear address labeling
- Any special handling markings
- Sealing method details
4. Weight and Dimension Recording
Note the package's exact weight and measurements. Discrepancies in carrier records can indicate mishandling or substitution.

Internal Cushioning
Provide at least 2-3 inches of cushioning material around all contents. Use dividers for multiple items to prevent contact damage.
External Markings
Clearly mark packages with "Fragile," "This Side Up," or "Keep Dry" as appropriate. Use weather-resistant labels.
