PACKING GUIDE
Telescope packing guide for sending via standard service
Proper packing is crucial when shipping a telescope abroad by courier. Follow the instructions we have prepared on how to pack a telescope to insure safe telescope transportation by courier.
- Wrap the individual parts with bubble wrap or padded foam sheeting. Put small items in plastic pouches.
- Put the telescope and bags in the original or protective carrying case. Use a cardboard box if you don’t have a case.
- Place the case into a shipping box. Secure with appropriate cushioning materials such as the peanuts, crumpled paper and bubble wrap.
- Seal the box with adhesive tape. You can label it with a sign saying “Fragile” or “Handle with care”. However, note that such a warning cannot guarantee that the package will be treated as such and should not substitute adequate packaging.
How to pack and ship a telescope abroad on a pallet
- Prepare the telescope in advance. Remove the detachable parts and pack them separately in plastic bags. Label the contents of the bags. Tape any loose parts.
- Protect any parts that cannot be removed with bubble wrap so that nothing moves during transport.
- Wrap the telescope entirely in bubble wrap, together with cushioning materials.
- Place the telescope on the pallet centrally and fix the items on the pallet with straps.
- Build a crate around the telescope.
