Shipping to the USA: How to Prevent Angel Wings from Deforming or Damage During Transit

  At  Haolicedy, we are passionate about crafting the most enchanting angel wings for all your cosplay, runway, and photography needs. We understand that the journey of these wings from our factory to your doorstep is just as crucial as their creation. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide on preventing damage during shipping to the USA.
一、​Carefully Select Packaging Materials
1.Meticulous Inner Packaging
Our angel wings, especially those made with high-quality white EPE foam, require extra care. At [Haolicedy], we wrap the edges, joints, and other vulnerable areas of the wings with multiple layers of soft bubble wrap. For example, our large wings, which measure up to 140cm (55in) in width and 200cm (79in) in height, are carefully protected with multiple layers of bubble wrap to ensure every inch is safeguarded. This bubble wrap acts like a soft shield, cushioning against impacts and friction during transit.


2.Sturdy Middle Layer Protection
Outside the bubble wrap, we use high-density foam boards. These boards are carefully cut to fit the unique shape of each wing. For flat areas, large foam boards are seamlessly fitted, while curved or uniquely shaped areas are precisely cut. The foam boards' excellent compressive strength effectively blocks external pressure, providing a sturdy middle layer of protection for our wings.
3.Durable Outer Packaging
We choose strong and durable cardboard boxes as the final outer packaging. The material is robust enough to withstand stacking pressure during transit. Each box is custom-sized to ensure the wings fit securely without shifting. Additionally, we prominently label the boxes with "Fragile" and "Handle with Care" to alert handlers.
 二、Strict Compliance with International Shipping Standards
1.Adhering to US Shipping Regulations
At [haolicedy], we strictly comply with US shipping regulations. We thoroughly research the requirements of shipping agencies like USPS regarding package dimensions, weight, and packaging materials. This ensures that our packaged wings meet all standards and avoid any issues during transit.
2.Following International Air Freight Packaging Standards
Since most shipments to the USA are via air freight, we strictly adhere to international air freight packaging guidelines. Packaging must be sturdy and intact to prevent breakage, leakage, or loss of contents during transit. It should also protect against damage or deterioration caused by stacking, friction, vibration, or changes in air pressure and temperature. Filling materials (such as wood shavings or paper scraps) must not leak out, and the use of straw bags or ropes for packaging is strictly prohibited.3.
3.Proper Special Labels and Instructions
In addition to labeling packages as "Fragile," we provide special labels and instructions for wings with electronic components (if applicable). This ensures that handlers fully understand the nature of the goods and provide extra care during transit.
三、Prudent Selection of Shipping Companies
1.Reputation and Word - of - Mouth Evaluation
We carefully select shipping companies with an excellent reputation and outstanding word - of - mouth in the international transportation field. By checking customer reviews and industry rankings, we gain in - depth insights into their past performance. For example, companies that frequently handle the transportation of fragile items are more likely to have standardized and professional operating procedures, which can better ensure the safety of our wings.
2.Emphasis on Shipping Experience and Insurance
We give priority to shipping companies with rich experience in transporting similar items. These companies have more mature operating procedures and methods for protecting fragile and large - sized items. In addition, we ensure that the shipping company provides cargo transportation insurance. In case the wings are accidentally damaged during transportation, we can receive reasonable compensation.
