How to Package Your Fascinator for Shipment?

Proper preparation is key to ensuring your fascinators arrive safely and in pristine condition. Here’s a simple step-by-step process to get you ready to book your shipment with Terminal Africa:

• Secure Delicate Parts:
  Wrap any delicate or detachable elements with soft padding or place them in small protective bags to prevent shifting during transit.
• Wrap for Protection:
  Use soft tissue paper to wrap your fascinators and then add a layer of bubble wrap for extra cushioning. Place the wrapped item in a sturdy box.
• Label Clearly:
  Make sure to label your package with your contact details and destination address. Use the fragile tape to mark the package as “Fragile” to ensure careful handling.
