What matters when shipping glassware

Glass is heavy and cannot be compressed, so land shipping is cheaper for large quantities, while a few pieces suit air with extra packing, and the packed weight counts together with protective material.

Anti-breakage packing

Ask for each piece to be bubble-wrapped or kept in its factory box with dividers, inside a double-wall carton with padding filling the gaps and a fragile mark. Ask for a photo of the pieces before closing, and keep it for a claim if anything arrives broken.

Tempered or thin glass

Tempered glass takes shock and heat better than thin glass, though thin glasses look nicer for serving. Read the glass description, check whether it takes hot water, and whether the set is of one type or mixed sizes.

Glasses, plates and vases

Glassware covers water and juice glasses, serving dishes and vases, and each needs different packing. A tall vase needs filling inside, glasses need dividers between pieces, and a plate stands upright.

Breakage and how to handle it

Glass is the item most exposed to breakage in shipping. Open the parcel with a witness and photograph the packing before opening, and report any breakage to the store and the shipping company the same day with photos, which helps any compensation that may be possible.
