Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.

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:

Many companies, of all types, try to save money and increase profits by either reducing their quality of service or passing work back to their customers rather than investing in the time to do it themselves. When booking a service or buying a product, consumers often find that they're expected to sort out a lot of the details that were once the domain of the professionals. At RapidParcel.com, as you'll discover if you want to arrange a package delivery to Kanpur, we take the opposite view. We utilise a combination of the best in modern technology and customer service in order to make sure that we do the work and keep the process of booking shipping to Kanpur as simple as it possibly can be for you.
Kanpur is one of the oldest industrial cities in northern India, having been founded on the banks of the River Ganges as long ago as the thirteenth century. By the nineteenth century it was one of the country's main centres for the leather and textile industries, although in recent years industries in the city have grown up around detergent, food processing, tea packaging, plastics, and packaging and exports. So swift has the economic growth of Kanpur been that the number of industrial units in the city grew from 14,000 in 1998 to 29,000 in 2009.
It seems likely, then, that the call for shipping to Kanpur is set to grow, and with it the demand for Kanpur parcel delivery, which with RapidParcel.com is as quick and convenient as it is reliable. Whether you're an individual sending a parcel delivery to Kanpur for the first time, or a business that needs to organise Kanpur shipping on a regular basis, the process itself may seem a trifle daunting from the outside. At RapidParcel.com we appreciate this, and that's why we've boiled down what could be the long, complicated process of arranging a Kanpur parcel delivery into six easy steps. Step one is, of course, choosing a courier to handle your Kanpur package delivery, and we've done the work for you here by only working with the best and most trustworthy couriers available. Enter your details and pick the deal that suits you best , safe in the knowledge that we've negotiated market-leading prices for shipping to Kanpur on your behalf.

Following these six logical, ordered steps is all it takes to send shipping anywhere around the world; so it could be a parcel delivery to Surat or a package delivery to Pune rather than a Kanpur package delivery that you need to send on its way.
