In this short content, we are not going to discuss what
should be done while shipping the big sensitive electronic machine that can be
a Xerox machine or a printer. We are going to describe what to avoid while shipping
it. The reason is that people usually make these mistakes and then end up
getting the machine damaged.
So, let’s discuss what those mistakes are.
Not getting the ink
cartridges removed
Not removing the ink cartridges from printers and Xerox
machines before shipping is a fatal mistake. If the cartridges are shoved
during the process of shipping, the damage can be enormous. They may leak and
the ink may get dropped on other equipment.
So, get the cartridges and toners out of the machines and
wrap those cartridges using appropriate packaging supplies. Leak proof plastic
bags and static bubble wrap can be of the huge benefit in this regard.
Not paying attention
to proper packaging
Since the printers and Xerox machines are delicate tech
items, securing of these items has to be done beyond proper cushioning to avoid
impacts. You wouldn’t want your machine to gather just inside it while being
shipped. Therefore, packing it to seal every corner in order to block the
tiniest way from where the dust can enter is the ultimate action you need to
perform. Furthermore, the open areas of machine should also be covered
appropriately.
While you definitely pay attention to get the items that you
would need to wrap the machine, it unfortunately gets easier to forget about
the second most important thing, the tape. Make sure that the tape you are
using to secure the wrap is the strong one with powerful adhesive. While most
of the tapes look strong and sticky on the shelves, many of them lose grip when
the package is exposed to extreme conditions. You will need to make sure that
the tape you are going to use doesn’t betray you.
To wrap the machine, use strong and leak proof cushioning
materials. High quality bubble wrap and packing foam are the most appropriate
items that you can take into consideration while securing the machine.
Pick sturdier box to pack the machine. This requirement gets
crucial when you are packing a freestanding big sized Xerox machine. Make sure
that corrugated box you are using is new.
Not selecting the
right carrier
Not selecting the right carrier is hugely concerned with
selecting the carrier that isn’t qualified to do the type of job that you have
to offer. It’s a common mistake that people usually do. If you are going to
ship a Xerox machine, make sure that shipper you have hired has expertise in
dealing with the bulky and delicate electronics. Furthermore, make sure that
the shipper you have hired has sufficient business volume in the area of
delivery and pickup.
