Purchasing fragile or premium items through international agents requires an extra layer of care. LoongBuy’s professional repacking service is designed to provide that security. This tutorial will guide you on how to request repacking, select appropriate protective materials, and ensure your expensive purchases arrive with minimal risk of shipping damage.
1. How to Request Repacking
Once your item arrives at the LoongBuy warehouse, you can easily initiate a repacking request.
- Log in to your LoongBuy account"My Warehouse."
- Select the item(s) requiring special handling.
- Click on the "Apply for Repacking"
- You can leave specific instructions in the notes section (e.g., "Extra padding for glass," "Remove original retail box for travel").
- Confirm the associated service fee. Your request is then queued for our warehouse team.
2. Choosing the Right Protective Materials
Selecting suitable materials is key. LoongBuy offers various options based on your item type.
| Item Type | Recommended Materials | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Fragile (Glass, Ceramics, Electronics) | Bubble wrap, foam inserts, corner protectors | Absorbs shock, prevents direct impact, and immobilizes items inside the box. |
| Premium/Sensitive (Designer Bags, Luxury Items) | Anti-static bags, soft tissue paper, cardboard dividers | Prevents scratches, dust, moisture, and static electricity damage. |
| Irregular/Heavy Items | Reinforced double-layer carton, edge protectors, plastic strapping | Provides structural integrity to the outer box, preventing burst seams. |
| All Items (General) | High-quality cardboard box, void fill (paper or air pillows) | Eliminates empty space inside the package, preventing items from shifting during transit. |
3. Key Strategies to Minimize Shipping Damage
Request a Box-in-Box (Double Boxing)
For extremely fragile items like monitors or sculptures, request the item be packed in its own cushioned box, which is then placed into a larger box with ample padding between them. This creates two layers of defense.
Clearly Mark the Package
You can ask our staff to apply "Fragile,""Handle With Care,""This Side Up"
Consider Reinforced Edges
For heavier items, reinforcing the box edges and seams with extra tape or plastic strapping dramatically reduces the chance of the box breaking open under stress.
Insure Your Shipment
Despite all precautions, international shipping involves risk. Always declare the accurate value
