Don’t forget that shipping all depends on the size and weight of your items. Items shipped should be packed up inside either boxes or suitcases. And the trick is to add as much cushioning as possible to protect your items from damage in transit. 

The next step is to pick the kind of shipping that works best for you. There are four different types of shipping to choose from: standard shipping, express shipping, pallet delivery, and van delivery. 

Standard Shipping

Standard shipping is the most common and affordable option. This method is best for shipping small and medium packages. Stasher guarantees to ship your items at the best market rate. With standard shipping, you’re getting an affordable and efficient solution for deliveries that are not time-sensitive. We reckon this option is the best choice for e-commerce businesses that ship their products consistently. Occasional shippers might also want to go for this option if you’re after a low-cost method. 

Express Shipping

Express shipping is a faster method to use for getting items to their destinations within 24 to 72 hours. Items can be shipped express both nationally and internationally. This is a great option if you need to get your items there quickly. 

Pallet Delivery

Pallet delivery is available for multiple items being sent to resellers and storage facilities. This is a great option for global freight solutions to meet requirements and even store your items in a warehouse prior to delivery. 

Van Delivery

Lastly, van delivery is great for larger shipments for both individuals and businesses. Stasher guarantees that customers are assigned to one van and driver per order.

Preparing a Fur Coat to be Shipped

If you want to successfully have your fur items shipped via Stasher, you’ll need to follow some specific guidelines:

  • Firstly, make sure that your coat is fully dry and isn’t exposed to any moisture. You may have to hang-dry your fur item prior to shipping it if it is exposed to moisture in any capacity. 
  • Make sure not to place the fur coat near any radiators since this will only add to the levels of moisture. 
  • Metal hangers are also bad to use when it comes to handling fur coats, so best avoided.
  •  Second, make sure you properly handle your fur coat by folding it gently without applying too much pressure. You may want to fill the sleeves of the coat with dry, crumpled paper to keep its shape and prevent wrinkles. 
  • A regular-length coat may need its shoulders turned inside out but a long coat will need to be folded in half. 
  • To prevent any damage, you should place your coat safely into a cotton bag. 
  • Empty spaces of your shipping box can easily be filled in with any material you have on hand. Some people choose to ship their fur coats in a suitcase. If you choose to do that, make sure you use extra padding. 
  • Finally, securely place your fur coat in a box and tape it shut. Adhesive tape is the best option to use because it is proven to keep boxes secure and closed. 

Once you’ve completed these steps, you are ready to ship your fur coat with Stasher.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping Fur Items

Certain types of furs may have different restrictions that prevent customers from shipping via post. You can usually find further information about this on the websites of specific customs that serve the country you are shipping to and from.

Before you ship real fur items overseas, make sure to cut any labels before they are loaded on board to be transported. This is something many regular fur product sellers and personal fur item shippers use. If you do not do this, you will be responsible for additional charges.
