Fragile Items Need TLC
Damage to Fragile items is almost always because of shifting in transit.
Shifting is a result of not packing properly. Here are some tips to avoid damage to your most fragile items.
If you have the original packaging for your pricey electronics and collectibles use those. If they aren't available, stuff loads of crumpled up paper, foam, bubble wrap, etc. in all the empty spaces in the packing box.
To test for shifting before you seal the box, shake it gentle. There should be no movement inside. If there is, keep stuffing until you're confident that shifting can't occur.
Just a little extra attention in the beginning can save time, frustration and money in the end.
