Essential Tips for Shipping Personal Belongings & Household Goods

To ensure your boxes travel safely through domestic or international transit networks, keep these expert packing and preparation tips in mind:

• Safety First: Avoid shipping liquids and completely omit flammable or hazardous items. If you are shipping lithium-ion batteries, please check with our store staff beforehand.

• Smart Packing: Divide heavy items like books into two smaller boxes instead of one large, unmanageable crate. Use plenty of bubble wrap, foam cushioning, and heavy-duty, double-walled boxes.

• Moisture Protection: Pack clothing and fabrics inside plastic bags within the box to safeguard them against moisture during long-transit journeys.

• Secure Labeling: Always print your destination address and phone number on a sheet of paper and place it INSIDE each box before sealing it securely with heavy-duty packing tape.

Shipping Boxes & Moving to the United States?

Planning a cross-border move? Shipping used personal items to the U.S. requires careful preparation to clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) smoothly.

• Required Documentation: To claim duty-free entry for unaccompanied household effects, U.S. Customs generally requires proof of your legal residency status (such as a US Passport, Green Card, Work Visa, or Student Visa).

• CBP Form 3299: This proof must accompany a completed U.S. CBP Form 3299 (Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles) along with a clear copy of your passport photo page.

• Important Note for Non-US Citizens: The shipper must already be physically present in the United States to clear and receive unaccompanied household goods. If you are traveling to the U.S. for the first time, your items can only be shipped after your official arrival.

• Suitcase Storage Solutions: Need a place to hold your baggage while you travel? Speak to our team about secure, temporary storage options for your suitcases right here at our Scarborough location.
