India Post parcel for fragile items: cushioning and box preparation checklist

Fragile items need suitable cushioning and a strong outer box. Confirm whether the specific contents are accepted before booking.

Protect the item

Wrap the item individually and cushion all sides. Prevent movement inside the box and protect delicate corners or protruding parts.

Choose a suitable carton

Use a strong box with enough room for protective material. Seal all seams securely and label the package clearly.

Confirm acceptance

Ask the booking counter about handling options, service conditions and current charges. Keep the receipt and tracking number.

Confirm current acceptance rules, service options and charges with India Post before dispatch.
