📦 Non-Stackable Packages — Advantages & Disadvantages

Shipping parcels as non-stackable can help protect your goods, but it also comes with additional costs.


✅ Advantages of Non-Stackable Shipping

  • Reduced risk of damage: Your package won’t have other parcels stacked on top of it during transport (trucks, planes, or sorting facilities)

  • Ideal for fragile, sensitive, or top-loaded-only items


⚠️ Disadvantages / Extra Costs

  • Higher shipping costs: Carriers charge a premium due to lost loading space

  • Limited availability: Not available for all package types or destinations
