How to ship back equipment

This article explains how to properly package equipment to ensure the safe return of items during transit.

Proper Equipment Packaging Guide

What you need:
  • High-quality bubble wrap
  • Strong packing tape
  • Sturdy cardboard boxes                                                                
  • Packing peanuts or stuffing (optional, for added cushioning)
Clean the Equipment:
  • Before packaging, please ensure that the equipment is thoroughly cleaned and free of any debris or contaminants.
Disassemble if Necessary:
  • If the equipment can be disassembled, please do so carefully, ensuring all components are securely wrapped individually.

Bubble Wrap:
  • Wrap each component of the equipment with several layers of bubble wrap. Pay special attention to fragile or sensitive parts.
  • Use tape to secure the bubble wrap around the equipment. Make sure the wrap is snug but not too tight to avoid putting pressure on delicate parts.

Cushioning Inside the Box:
  • Place a layer of packing peanuts or crumpled packing paper at the bottom of the cardboard box to provide cushioning.
Arrange Equipment:
  • Carefully place the equipment into the box. Ensure there is enough packing material to prevent movement during transit.
Fill Empty Spaces:
  • Fill any remaining gaps with additional packing peanuts or crumpled packing paper to prevent shifting and provide extra protection.
Seal the Box:
  • Close the box and seal all edges with strong packing tape. Shake the box gently to ensure there's no movement inside.
  • Tape the prepaid label on the top of the box and take it to your local UPS
