Shipping box and taping not as robust as it could / should be

[trtr]

Guys 3rd of 4 shipments that make up my purchase of your annual up front offer was delivered burst open - like the prev 2 but worse. Though positively -no damage to contents - suspect courier may have taken some care after incident this time.

Some low cost suggestions - assuming you've bought boxes in bulk.

Get the reinforced tape that is thick, clear and has reinforcement threads embedded in the tape - Amazon in UK use a weaker paper version if that helps describe it.

Only use it on heavier packages/ or ones where you regularly have issues. Tape up all edges, as well as top and bottom flaps - go wider on flaps by overlapping 3 strips. This will keep costs down and allow you to use your current tape up , as well as existing boxes.

Guesstimates on cost <5eu per roll & cost per box taping <1eu

Thoughts?

Thank you for the suggestions.

We are working on this and (should already have implemented) that we use a box-in-box design for large shipments that go far (outside West Europe).

But if you're within the EU the orders normally should not be thrown around much (they normally only get transferred once or twice).

How are other people's experiences to for instance France, Germany, UK?
If it's common, I can see if we can change it for these countries too.

Hi, I live in the UK. I've ordered twice from you and the boxes were in perfect conditions for both times.
