LBC Package Size and Weight Tips Before You Ship
Prepare bulky or heavy parcels more confidently by understanding why size and weight matter during LBC shipping.
By LBC Tracking Team
Why size and weight matter
Large or heavy parcels often need different handling than small document shipments. They can affect pricing, packaging needs, routing options, and how easily a branch can process the parcel.
What to think about before shipping
- Whether the box is too large for the item
- Whether the package can support its own weight
- Whether fragile contents need reinforcement
- Whether branch staff may need clearer handling details
Good packing habits for heavier parcels
- Reinforce the box seams
- Add internal support so contents do not shift
- Avoid weak recycled cartons for dense items
- Keep labels visible and secure
Why this helps delivery
Well-packed large parcels are easier to sort, move, and deliver without damage. Poor packaging increases the chance of box failure during transfers between vehicles or branches.
Final note
If a parcel is unusually bulky or heavy, ask the branch for the best shipping option before finalizing the package. A quick check can help you avoid repacking or processing delays.
