When it comes to protecting your shipment, the northAmerican
International level of professionalism is unmatched. The first step in
protecting your shipment for the trip is proper packing.
- All packing materials and cartons will be new
- All china, glass and crystal will be individually wrapped prior to packing
- Cartons will be taped across top, bottom and all sides
- All rugs and carpets will be rolled and wrapped
- Customer's name, room and contents will be marked on each carton
All items which are not suitable for packing will be padded for
transport. These items include furniture items, large bulky pieces and
large appliances. These items are paper padded as a standard and where
items require additional protection the use of double wrapping and
crating is involved. Proper padding requires the following steps:
- all furniture will be dismantled, if appropriate
- all hardware (nuts and bolts) will be placed in plastic bags before being put in the master hardware box
- all furniture will be wrapped in a minimum 3-ply paper pad
- corner pads will be used to provide additional protection
- all paper pad seams will be sealed using export vinyl tape
- skeleton or full crates will be used on awkward or fragile pieces
