Returning a bottle safely is essential to ensure its integrity during transport. Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Reuse the Styrofoam wine cellar
- Recover the original polystyrene container in which the bottle was delivered.
- Insert the bottle: Place the bottle inside the wine cellar, making sure it is well protected.
- Seal the cellar: Seal the cellar with heavy-duty tape to prevent accidental opening.
2. Insert the wine cellar into the box
- Use a sturdy box: Choose a double or triple-wall cardboard box to ensure maximum safety.
- Secure the wine cellar: Place the wine cellar in the center of the box and make sure it is stable.
- Avoid movement: Make sure the wine cellar and bottle are completely still and cannot move during transport.
- Add Protection: Use materials such as Styrofoam peanuts or packing paper to fill any empty spaces in the box.
4. Follow the courier's instructions
- Learn about the courier's procedures: Check the instructions provided by the shipping service you choose, especially if you intend to insure the bottle.
- Insurance: Follow the carrier's guidelines to avoid insurance issues.
