Packing a parcel for someone else’s journey

A preparation checklist for weight, dimensions, packaging and recipient availability.

Open the interactive experience

Describe the contents clearly

List the item, quantity and condition. Disclose batteries, liquids, fragile components or other handling needs so the traveller can assess suitability and applicable restrictions.

Measure after packing

Record the complete weight in kg and dimensions in cm. Count every separate package. A traveller needs the packed size, not only the size of the object inside.

Protect neighbouring belongings

Secure loose parts, protect edges and use suitable packaging. An item carried beside someone’s personal belongings must not leak, scratch or shift unexpectedly.

Prepare the recipient too

Confirm the receiving person, meeting point and availability. Packaging solves only one part of the journey; a parcel still needs a compatible route and both handoffs.
