Packaging Advice for Shipping to Kohima
Since Salem to Kohima is a long-haul lane into one of India's harder-to-serve regions, 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 Nagaland.
