Default How to package own shipment/ tips please!

Hi guys...

In particular...how to pack and wrap a new LARGE leather and fabric sofa? Bubble wrap? Card? Tissue! I'd die if it was mouldy when it arrives! Just bought some silica gel!

Please help...all tips gratefully received!!

So humour me! This post should be in The Barbie one?? Right...got it now! I thought they'd moved my post OUT of the Barbie one and into Immigration!! DUR!! To be honest I've never even been in the Barbie section...I thought it was people who had ALREADY moved only!!

that's what i think... the question has nothing to do with the immigration process itself... (as per application etc)

Well it depends how you look at it! I think it does have some relevance to immigration...but I can see how it's more relevant to the Barbie section!!
Right I'll shut up now! Thanks Jen! yes, I've put it in capitals so it'll be picked up n deleted! Cheers, I hope someone sees this in Barbie because we're starting the packing tomorrow!! xxx

I've seen it!

We packed our leather sofa with an extra large roll of cling film that my OH got from work. The seat cushions we wrapped in bubble wrap.

It arrived safe apart from someone had placed something square on the arm, we had an imprint on the arm for a good 3 months before it faded. Never did work out what it was!

Happy packing.

Thanks so much for your advice...did you put silica gel in and did you secure it in the container?

Cheers,xx
