What is the best way to pack vintage Christmas ornaments for shipping?
Vintage Christmas ornaments are fragile and valuable items which means you need to be extra careful when packing and shipping them. Bubble wrap each ornament individually and place them in a small box or container, before placing it in a shipping box. You can label your shipping box ‘Fragile’ or ‘This side up’ to minimise the risk of mishandling during transport, however, please have in mind that the couriers are not obliged to treat the package as such when you book the Standard service. When shipping valuable or fragile Christmas ornaments, consider that you’re doing it at your own risk.
