For example, if you choose express delivery via the United States, the cost will be very high, but the time to receive the goods will be only two working days.

Because books are made of paper, they can easily become wet, crumpled, or dirty if not handled with care. As a result, it is critical to pack carefully and correctly before delivering. Here are some tips to help you pack your books more securely:
– Cover with waterproof nylon: use nylon bags to pack each book or magazine and seal the mouth, or wrap each volume individually with specialized nylon types.
– Wrap wire or tape around the files or packages to prevent them from being moved, crumpled, or dirty during the transportation.
– Cover the outside with packaging materials such as cartons, sacks, or other nylon materials and seal with tape.
