Expert Fragile Items Courier Delivery Services

At Breakwells, we specialise in fragile item deliveries, such as glassware, tableware and other delicate items.

We have been offering fragile items courier services for over 60 years, making us the clear choice for when such shipping is required. We handle all delicate goods with the care and attention they require from the moment they arrive at our modern Kidderminster storage facility to when they reach their delivery address.

We have a wide transportation network developed and improved over decades of hard work in fragile parcel delivery. Spanning nationwide and to our offshore island locations, our transport routes can help you get your glassware, tableware or any other fragile items to their destination in pristine condition. Thanks to our no-double-handling policy, you won’t have to worry about your consignment suffering damages in transit, even if it’s headed overseas, as once it leaves our depot, it stays on that vehicle until it is delivered.

We work with both domestic and commercial clients, ensuring that delicate items, no matter how large or small, are transported safely. Whether it’s a scheduled delivery or a one-off delivery, standard or express service, our fragile goods delivery is always professional and punctual.

Warranty on Fragile Packages

We take great care in packaging and shipping fragile items to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. While we provide standard RHA cover for any damage or loss during transit, this may not fully cover fragile items. For additional peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing extra insurance when shipping delicate products. If damage occurs, please contact our customer service team, who will guide you through the process to resolve the issue promptly.

Fragile Items Packing & Wrapping Tips 

Preparing fragile goods for shipping can be tricky, so we thought we’d give you some handy tips on how to pack, wrap and seal your package for maximum efficiency and safety.

Use a high-quality, heavy-duty box

  • Don’t reuse boxes as their durability degrades with each use
  • Leave space for additional protective wrapping in the box
  • Use bubble wrap, styrofoam, cardboard dividers & other protective materials
  • Wrap each individual item separately, but place more than one item in each box
  • Lightweight materials, such as paper and airbags, aren’t recommended for fragile items
  • Use tape that says FRAGILE to seal the parcel when possible
  • Ensure all labels are clearly visible and easy to read

With those safe packing tips and our attentive and professional handling practices in place, your fragile shipment will reach its delivery destination just as you sent it.

Breakwells transported my vintage Vespa scooter from Guernsey to the U.K. I was blown away by the support Steve provided for me prior to shipment. He was extremely courteous, efficient and kind and I would thoroughly recommend the Company’s services in the future. Many thanks to all who helped.
