Can pillows or other delicate items be vacuum sealed in MyMalls' combine service?
Overview
When using MyMalls' package combine service, important considerations about packaging practices ensure the safety and integrity of your items during shipping. Customers often inquire about special requests, such as vacuum sealing items like pillows. This article explains why vacuum sealing is not offered and outlines the standard practices used for consolidating and repacking packages.
Why Vacuum Sealing Is Not Offered
While vacuum sealing can reduce the volume of certain items, it is not suitable for all materials. Specifically, for most pillows, including those made of memory foam or latex, vacuum sealing can:
Compromise the structure or material integrity over time.
Lead to deformation or reduced performance of the item, especially for pillows designed for ergonomic or orthopedic use.
To ensure optimal protection and delivery condition, MyMalls avoids using vacuum sealing techniques for fragile, soft, or structure-sensitive items. Instead, pillows and other similar items are:
Securely repacked using standard, robust packaging methods.
Strategically arranged to minimize volume while maintaining safety during transit.
These practices are in place to fulfill our commitment to item safety during shipment, especially for delicate or specialty goods.
Best Practices for Delicate Item Shipping
If you plan to use the combine service for items that are bulky yet delicate, here are some tips:
Prepackage With Care: If possible, use their original packaging for added protection.
Communicate Special Needs: While vacuum sealing isn’t possible, you can include instructions for thoughtful repacking.
Consider Shipment Volume: Even without vacuum sealing, the service aims to optimize space efficiency.
