Shipping an ipad is a delicate process, as these fragile devices must be handled with care to ensure they arrive intact. In this article, the stasher delivery team shares some tips for packing your ipad for delivery and choosing the shipping method that works best for you. read on for tips from our experts.
how to pack an ipad for shipping
- If you still have it, store the device in its original packaging. Because this case was designed to perfectly fit your iPad, this is always the preferred option for international shipping. but don’t worry if you don’t have this case anymore, any case that fits your ipad well will do.
- Fill any gaps with bubble wrap, tissue paper, or other protective materials to ensure it doesn’t move around in its box.
- Wrap this box with bubble wrap to provide an extra layer of protection.
- place this box in a larger box and add more padding in the spaces. This double-layered packaging is the best way to ensure your iPad is not damaged in transit.
- Seal this larger box with duct tape or other tape.
- label the box “fragile” or “handle with care” and be sure to include any required shipping labels or documents.
know your batteries
You may already know this, but it’s important to know the components of the device you’re publishing, especially the batteries. Most tablets contain lithium batteries, but you can check this in the instruction manual or on the manufacturer’s website. if it contains lithium batteries, you must declare it. On iPads and most tablets, the battery is physically attached and cannot be easily removed.
Relevant recommendations for the transport of any electronic device can be found in the respective user manual, but in general it is recommended to charge the battery up to 30% when shipping an ipad or android tablet.
In any case, be sure to check the regulations on the voltage of your lithium battery-powered device depending on the destination and customs procedure.
