We all want a guarantee that our postal deliveries are safe, whether we’re sending them or receiving them, and the last thing we want is for our parcel to go missing in transit. This is especially true of jewellery, which is why we’ve put together this guide to help you properly prepare and send your valuables.
Security
Fragility and delivery time are not the only considerations you should have with your postage, especially when it comes to jewellery. On top of its monetary value, your jewellery may also hold sentimental value to you, which should encourage you to seek out a trusted and secure courier service.
Services that provide tracking and insurance are must for jewellery, allowing you to follow your delivery while it’s in transit, receive proof of delivery through a signature, and be reimbursed if your jewellery is lost or damaged.
Research is important in finding the right courier service. Check for all the available services the company provides, ensuring they meet your specific needs, but also make sure to check reviews and testimonials, as these will give you a fuller picture of the chosen company.
Some services offer same-day delivery, which can vary depending on location, but gives you the security that your parcel won’t get lost between multiple warehouses. You can find a same day courier London, such as: https://allaboutfreight.co.uk/same-day-courier/london/.
Packaging
If you already have a jewellery box, this is ideal for packaging, but if not, wrapping the jewellery in tissue paper and putting it in any small box will do.

You then want to wrap this smaller box in bubble wrap and place it inside a larger box. Fill any additional space with more bubble wrap or scrunched-up newspaper. The material doesn’t matter too much, so long as it’s soft, it fills the space, and it won’t damage the jewellery in any way. You can find specifics on postage guidelines here:
Finally, wrap up the outer box with packing tape, ensuring there are no seams or tears in the box. Now you can use your selected courier to safely deliver your jewellery.
