Choosing the Right Shipping Box
Select a box that is slightly larger than your phone and its packaging. A double-walled box provides extra protection against impacts. Ensure the box is clean and free of damage before use.
Protective Packaging Options

Fill any empty space inside the box with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent movement. Seal the box securely with water-resistant tape. Label the package as “Fragile” to alert handlers.
Final Checks Before Shipping
Double-check that the phone is well-protected and that the box is sealed tightly. Include any necessary documentation or accessories in the package. Proper packaging not only protects your phone but also ensures a positive transaction experience on Swappa.
