Secure Delivery Solutions for High Value Items

Sending a regular parcel can be extremely simple, but when it comes to sending valuables by post, it can be a quite tricky process! You must pay attention to some additional details such as choosing the right packaging, the right courier and an extra insurance to cover your goods if something goies wrong during delivery.

At Secursus, we specialize in high value parcel insurance since 2018, and we'll try to help you protect and ship your high value item safely.

Proper Packaging for High-value Items

If you have already sent an expensive item by courier, you know that most of the transit process is automated. This means your parcel will drop multiple times on conveyor belts and might arrive in bad shape if you don't use the right protection and packaging.

Here is how to pack your valuables:

1. Use new and rigid packaging to protect your goods

2. Always double box your items

3. Seal any flaps and make sure movement of items is restricted inside the parcel

4. Add a second shipping label inside your parcel, in case the main label falls off during shipping.

Never write a value or description on the outside of the parcel.

Speaking of labels, there are rules about whatyou should and should not put on your label. It is therefore highly recommended that no one can detect what's inside the parcel.

If you are sending a piece of jewellery or a watch for example, do not write "luxury" "jewellery" or "watch". If you are sending a luxury bag, do NOT specifyany brand or precious material on the label. Instead of precisely describing your item, you can use vague terms or HS Codes, numerical codes used by customs to classify goods. This approach can help streamline the customs process while maintaining the necessary information for shipping.

Best Couriers for an Insured Parcel Delivery and High value items

Now that you know how to pack your valuable item, the next step is to choose the suitable carrier. At Secursus, we strongly recommend selecting the fastest shipping option available and ensuring that an adult signature is mandatory upon delivery. Without a signature, there is no proof of delivery, which is crucial for the security of your high-value item. Ensuring these steps will help protect your shipment and provide peace of mind.

To select your carriers and have an insured postage, we recommend using: Fedex, DHL Express, DPD, Royal Mail special delivery and UPS. If you have any questions about sending a large or valuable parcel overseas, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to assist you with any concerns or specific requirements you may have to ensure your shipment is handled safely and securely.
