If you are shipping furniture for the first time, especially the big ones then you should learn quite a few things. Furniture can be fragile and therefore you need to take care of them properly before shifting. A slight mistake can damage your furniture totally. When I moved from Delhi to Bangalore I took my dressing table, almirah. Those items were fragile, heavy, and gigantic. I was a little stressed but my furniture was delivered safely to my home in Bangalore. 

How to send furniture to another state?

I will state some points that will give you a heads up to ship furniture from one state to another.

• Use a proper box to ship your items. The box should not be too spacious or too small for shipping items. Furniture should fit inside the box perfectly so order the boxes as per the size and shape of the furniture.

• When putting the furniture in the box remove the detachable parts. I had detached each part of my almirah before putting it inside the box.

• Use a bubble and tape the furniture properly before putting it inside the box. You can use styrofoam to secure your furniture and give an extra layer of protection.

• Use polypropylene strapping around the box to keep all the items secured in their place.

• Before putting the item into the car the measure and with the package properly. 

• Choose a courier service and ship your items.
