FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SHIPPING MARINE SUPPLIES
With DHL Express, you can ship a wide array of marine supplies, including but not limited to repair and replacement ship parts, such as element filters, components for diesel engines, and pumps. We also handle equipment such as analog phones, firefighting equipment, plugs, and seals.
Proper packaging is crucial to ensure the safe delivery of marine supplies. Firstly, secure the item within sturdy containers – these could be corrugated cardboard or plastic boxes, depending on the type and size of the item. Ensure that you provide sufficient padding around the item inside the box to prevent it from moving during transit. You might consider using packing materials such as styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, or other suitable materials for added protection. This will provide cushioning during transit, ensuring your items arrive in optimal condition. View our packaging guide for more information.
