Another interesting fact about Normal/Express Delivery, our general cargo service, that many of you might not know is that shipping large items is very cost-effective! But how cost-effective is it, and how can they be delivered? Today, Inter Express will reveal all the details.
How is shipping large items so cost-effective?
Many of you might be wondering: Why is shipping large items so cost-effective? This is because Inter Express's general cargo service (non-temperature controlled) calculates fees based on the weight and dimensions (width x length x height) of the item. Shipping costs start at just 50 Baht for items weighing 5 kg.
For instance, if you ship a large item weighing 30 kg, even though the weight increases by 6 times, the shipping cost will only be 100 Baht.
Therefore, shipping heavy, large items with Inter Express is more cost-effective.
How to pack large items
Now that you know how cost-effective shipping large items can be, many of you might be wondering about the safest ways to pack them.
Typically, the large items frequently shipped include various electrical appliances such as TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves, etc., or assembled furniture like tables, chairs, drawers, etc. Each of these items is delicate and susceptible to impact. To ensure your packages arrive safely at their destination, today Inter Express will provide simple guidelines on how to pack large items.
1. Choosing the right box for the large item you wish to ship
When selecting a box for large items such as electrical appliances or furniture, you should choose the original manufacturer's packaging. If the original box is unavailable, opt for a thick cardboard box that can support the weight of the item inside.
2. Adding protective cushioning
Since large electrical appliances or furniture can be quite heavy and not very resistant to various impacts, adding protective cushioning such as foam padding or inflatable plastic wrap will help reduce and prevent impacts during transit, ensuring that the items inside the box remain undamaged.
3. Securely sealing the box
Once all items inside the box are well-packed, you should securely seal the box with tape or use strapping bands to ensure the contents do not fall out during transit.
Once you have finished packing your large items or any items you wish to ship, you can bring them to any Inter Express branch at our various service points. You can check the service points by clicking the button below.
