Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

Sao Paulo is a vast, bustling metropolis. Not only is it the largest city in Brazil, but it’s also ranked as having the seventh largest population in the world. The city is famous for both its historical buildings, such as the Sao Paulo Museum of Art and the Monumento às Bandeiras, and the many skyscrapers that are more recent additions to its skyline. Currently ranked the tenth richest city in the world and on course to become the sixth richest by the year 2025, Sao Paulo is the biggest financial centre in Brazil, with an economy which has switched from being industrial in nature to one being driven by providing services for the rest of the country. With an estimated population of over 11 million people and many foreign multinational corporations, this is a thriving modern city and there are innumerable reasons why individuals or businesses might wish to make a parcel delivery to Sao Paulo.
