Small packages typically fall under the category 150 lbs. or less. Most freight companies use this as a guide when determining whether it is a small package.

The thing about small packages is that you can get the small package option of trucking companies in BC rather than the usual LTL or full-truckload shipping. You can save more money this way.

When shipping out small packages, make sure it is packaged well. There are risks of small packages being lost or damaged. Some people opt to use big boxes and just fill them up with paper or filling plastic. But that can be costly, especially in packaging materials. It’s an unnecessary use of plastic as well. Small package shipping is the most cost-effective, not to mention, eco-friendly solution to shipping out small items.

Choose the right boxes to put your small items. Make sure they are secured properly. You can use bubble wrap or a more environmentally-friendly choice.

If the items are of value such as jewelry, make sure you get the right insurance for them. Talk to the trucking companies in BC to find out what the insurance policies are when it comes to jewelry.

If your business often ships out small packages, make sure you choose trucking companies equipped with the knowledge and the process on how to ship these items properly. Find out more about their processes in securing the packages and make sure they don’t get lost.

It’s also important to know if the items are under their insurance policy and what you can do in case the items get lost.
