Hipobuy packaging checks are often overlooked but critically important. Proper packaging protects your items during international shipping and preserves resale value.
Box Condition Inspection
Check the original box for:
- No dents, tears, or creases
- Clean surfaces without stains
- Original stickers and labels intact
- Proper box size (not crushed to fit)
Inner Wrapping Quality
Inspect internal packaging materials:
- Tissue paper should be clean and neatly folded
- Protective foam or cardboard inserts present
- Items not rubbing against each other
- No signs of previous opening or tampering
Accessories and Extras
Verify that all accessories are included:
- Extra laces, tags, and certificates
- Original receipt or invoice if applicable
- Promotional items or stickers
Shipping Protection
Ensure adequate protection for international transit. Double-boxing is recommended for high-value items. Bubble wrap should cover all fragile surfaces.
When to Request Repackaging
If packaging is damaged or insufficient, request repackaging before shipping. This small step prevents major headaches upon delivery.
