Packaging Advice for Shipping to Salem
Since Gaya to Salem is a cross-country lane connecting East and South India, parcels pass through more handling hubs. Use a rigid double-walled box, cushion fragile items on all sides, and seal seams with H-taping so the package survives the longer journey to Tamil Nadu.
Declare the contents and value accurately — it speeds up processing and is required for smooth COD and claims handling. ApnaCourier auto-generates a compliant label with all required Gaya→Salem routing details once you book.
- Right-sized, sturdy box with no empty space
- Cushioning for fragile items (extra padding for this longer lane)
- Clear Gaya sender and Salem recipient labels with pincodes
- Accurate contents and value declaration
