Why the Netherlands needs special attention
Shipments to the Netherlands are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.
Gli olandesi sono al primo posto in Europa for uso di locker e pickup point: il destinatario often preferisce drop-off a casa.
The 5 steps to pack libri for the Netherlands
Step 1 — Materials needed. Sturdy box non oltre 15 kg, pieno solido without vuoti.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean libri before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap libri in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 2–3 European hubs.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or the Netherlands's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
