Shipping guidelines
Instrument Panel cluster (IPC) packaging
Properly packing IPC before shipping is of great importance. The main materials you will need are the following:
Cardboard boxes: can be found in any stationery or hardware store or you can get used ones in supermarkets.
Foam wrap or Bubble Wrap: for extra protection.
Polystyrene sheets: for additional internal cushioning if needed. They can be bought at various hardware stores.
Air cushions: When placed inside a box, these small air-filled bags provide protection for objects rolling around. However using them can be expensive, as buying the machine used to inflate them can be pricey.
Adhesive tape: for sealing the box.
Packing IPC part should not be difficult if you follow our simple guidelines:
-
Put the car part in the box. Place the item in the appropriate box.
-
Wrap individual instrument panel clusters. Protect any individual parts with bubble wrap or padded foam sheeting, especially components that must be disassembled first.
-
Seal and label the box. Use adhesive tape to seal the box. You can label it with a sign saying “Fragile” or “Handle with care” and also specify the type of item that is inside the box. However, note that such a warning cannot guarantee that the package will be treated as such and should not substitute adequate packaging.
Always assume the worst from the post office; therefore OVER package well!
