But you must check with the specific country you are sending too to make sure the pram or pushchair you are sending is accepted by that country.

Packaging a pram for a parcel delivery services can be a tricky process. Here at Parcelpal we want to ensure our customer receive the best advice possible for sending their parcels. But for the packaging of prams we recommend to exercise logic and rational in ensure your pram or pushchair is suitable for a parcel. But we can recommend these few steps.  

Once dismantled make sure every nut, bolt, or screw is placed inside a pouch and clearly labelled for the receiver to know what is what and what goes where.  

The wheels of a pram are subject to become dirty when used, this is normal and nothing to be embarrassed about. But make sure to give them a clean before packaging so the parcel is hygienic for the receiver.  

Every part of the pram must be wrapped in bubble wrap at least twice. This ensures the separate part of the pram does not become damaged during transit.  

Unfortunately, if your pram is of the traditional style that can‘t be dismantled then it is unfortunately unsuitable for a parcel delivery service.
