The tile I’m sending is fragile. How can I avoid damage during shipment?
Careful packaging is essential. As a rule of thumb, plan on having your package survive a drop from waist level at some point during transit. a. Do not over pack the container. Too much weight may rupture the container. b. Always put foam or bubble wrap between each tile and then tape multiple tiles together. (Do not put loose tiles in the carton. Loose tiles almost always arrive damaged.) c. Place the carton containing your tightly wrapped tiles within a second larger carton firmly padded on all sides with several inches of foam packing peanuts. Seal all seams with reinforced tape.
