How I Ship Clocks With Exposed Hands


kmmcrafts

Recommended Posts

Since I’m trying to warm up and also trying to package up orders I thought I’d take a minute and show what I do for clock hands to keep them from damage during shipping. This is like 1-1/4 inch rubber hose. I buy cheap cutoffs or end of the roll where they are odd sized and probably wouldn’t sell well to the average person. Local hardware saves these for me  . I cut them so they fit over the hands and use rubber bands to hold it in place. Been doing this for years. Stated with cpvc pipe that I had left over but you have to put something under that to prevent scratches etc. so far the rubber hose works good. 

That the daily tip from KevsKrafts

Do you supply the first battery?? I just place bubble wrap around the clock. Years ago I got that large bubblewrap off a job site and had a good supply of it. Wrap most my shipments in it. Works well for me. 

I do not supply the battery.. used to until I learned about having to have special packing for mailing anything with batteries.. and you're not supposed to ship them out of the country either.. their scanners might pick it up as a bomb :) LOL..

I do as shown in the picture.. then wrap about 2-3 inch of bubble wrap then put in a box and fill in around it with packing peanuts.. :)  Pack pretty well.. probably could almost run over it with no damage.. Hahaha

Don't you supply a battery with your smaller clocks. I have never had a problem with shipping a battery with. I order batteries through the mail. Never heard of a problem. I do wrap the battery separate. I just got some small turntables from ebay which turns out they came from China where else but they came with batteries AAA Plain white boxes. Batteries did not last long.

I do ship the little ones with battery.. except the international orders.. I take the battery out.. Probably never have an issue but it can be a BIG fine sending items that are prohibited outside of the USA.. Even though I had been shipping with the batteries up until last spring when I found all this out.. But I do include batteries for USA customers.. Especially because all the clocks I get.. come with batteries anyway..
