Festive Season Selling Tip: Pack with Care
Many of the orders placed in the weeks before
Christmas are intended as presents. Buyers not only expect to receive them on
time, but also in excellent condition. Having to return items that got damaged
in transit would not be a good buying experience at any time of the year – and
even less so during the festive season, as it might mean that the buyer
won’t have the item in time for the gift-giving on Christmas Day.
Make sure buying from you becomes an entirely positive experience for the
customer:
- When sending fragile items through the post, it's essential
to package them carefully using bubble wrap or polystyrene chips (both of
which are available from any Post Office).
- If the product is fragile we recommend you use a Fragile sticker
(also available from any Post Office) or mark the package clearly.
- Put your item in its original box (if you still have
it), then put it in a slightly larger box and fill out the gap with paper,
polystyrene or cardboard. Shake the box and add more packaging if there's
movement.
