Why Choose a Specialist Fragile Courier Service?
Risks of sending fragile items via standard courier
Standard couriers are designed for speed and scale, not precision. Fragile parcels are often treated the same as everyday deliveries, meaning they can face stacking pressure, rough handling, or insufficient packaging. For items like glassware, antiques, or electronics, this creates a high risk of damage. Once broken, these items are rarely replaceable — making the risk far greater than just the delivery cost.
Benefits of PACK & SEND’s specialised handling
PACK & SEND removes the uncertainty. Our expert team uses professional packing techniques, tailored cushioning, and custom solutions to safeguard delicate goods. Clients can plan ahead by checking costs through the online postage calculator or arranging a tailored quote before booking. Every parcel is treated as unique, with dedicated fragile protocols from pick-up to final delivery.
What Fragile Items Can We Deliver?
Glass, ceramics, artwork, antiques
From fine china to valuable art pieces, PACK & SEND has the expertise to transport delicate, high-value goods. Many clients choose to combine our custom cushioning with professional packing solutions to ensure vibration and shock are absorbed, while double-boxing and reinforced crates give additional protection for antiques and ceramics.
Electronics & IT equipment
Laptops, monitors, servers, and medical devices require specialist handling to avoid impact damage or static exposure. By using anti-static wrapping, custom foam inserts, and rigid cases, we protect sensitive electronics during transit — supported by our national interstate courier services.
Musical instruments & collectibles
Whether it’s a guitar, violin, or collectible figurines, musical and collector’s items need precision care. Our team provides custom-shaped packaging and extra shock absorption, while many clients rely on our specialist packing expertise for added peace of mind when sending rare or high-value pieces.
Expert Packing for Fragile Deliveries
Professional packing materials (bubble wrap, foam, custom boxes)
We use industrial-grade bubble wrap, high-density foam, and double-walled cartons to provide maximum cushioning. For oversized or unusual items, our expert packing team can also build custom wooden crates that offer the highest level of structural protection.
PACK & SEND packing services vs DIY
DIY packing often leaves gaps in protection that increase the risk of breakage. With PACK & SEND, trained professionals assess the fragility of each item and pack accordingly. Choosing expert packaging also ensures that your fragile parcel remains eligible for full coverage under our warranty options.

International Fragile Shipping
Sending fragile goods overseas

PACK & SEND’s international fragile courier service covers everything — from custom crating and shock-resistant packaging to secure air and sea freight solutions. Businesses and individuals trust our international courier services to deliver delicate goods across borders safely.
Customs considerations for delicate items
We manage customs paperwork and advise on restrictions for fragile goods, such as antique exports or electronics with lithium batteries. By handling compliance and packaging, we minimise delays and risks at international borders.
