FREIGHT GUIDELINES
Follow the steps below to ensure your items comply with safe shipping requirements.
- Panels must be stacked on a pallet
- Each panel stack is approximately 1.5m high
- Take a photo of unwrapped panels demonstrating condition.
- Panels are wrapped to fully contain contents and protect those handling from anything sharp such as broken glass or protruding frames.
- Panels are adequately strapped to ensure stack is stable and will not shift during transit, see load restraint guidelines. Avoid over tightening straps which can lead to damage to previously functional panels resulting in an extra charge for recycling rather than payment for a functional panel. Please note, in accordance with national regulations, each party (those shipping and receiving) are part of the chain of responsibility in ensuring the safety of loads in transit. We take this seriously and expect our clients to too.
- Take a photo of wrapped and strapped panels.
- Upload both pre and post wrapping photos to provide to our team.
- If you are unable to stack panels due to damage please contact us to discuss alternative options for freight.
AVOID THESE STACKING, WRAPPING & STRAPPING MISTAKES
Panels that are not securely strapped can shift during transit.
If panels are strapped some time before being transported, strapping can become loose and should be re-strapped prior to transit.
Panels themselves are tightly strapped and strapped to the pallet. The panels must still be wrapped prior to transit.
