When it comes to selling valuable collectibles like porcelain dolls, ensuring their safe transportation is crucial to avoid any damage that might impact their value. This week, we received an inquiry from someone who is looking for the best way to ship their grandmother's porcelain dolls to an auction house.

Dear Doctor,
My grandmother wants to have her porcelain dolls appraised before potentially selling them. Given their delicate nature, I’m really concerned about how to safely transport them to the auctioneer without causing any damage. Do you have any recommendations?

Best regards,
Laura

Hi Laura,

Thank you for reaching out! We understand your concerns and are happy to guide you through the best practices for packaging and shipping these precious items. Proper packaging is key to keeping your grandmother’s dolls in excellent condition throughout the process.

First, let’s talk about the type of packaging materials you’ll need. Depending on how many dolls you’re dealing with, you can either wrap each doll individually or group them into smaller sets for easier handling. If you’re planning to transport the dolls personally, Kite’s Economy Archive Boxes are a great choice. These boxes are both durable and affordable, featuring hand holes that make carrying them a breeze. Plus, they’re easy to store away after use if you ever need them again.

However, if the dolls will be handled by others during transit or storage, we’d recommend opting for Kite’s Handle with Care Boxes. These boxes are crafted from extra-strong double-wall cardboard and come printed with a clear “Handle with Care” label, reminding anyone who handles the box to exercise caution. This precaution can significantly reduce the risk of damage, giving you peace of mind.

For added protection inside the boxes, we suggest wrapping each doll in multiple layers of news offcuts, which are essentially shredded paper. This material is cost-effective and provides excellent cushioning for fragile items like porcelain. You can also fill any empty spaces in the box with more news offcuts to prevent movement during transit. Additionally, consider adding padding around the dolls to further secure them in place.

If you anticipate storing the dolls for an extended period, it’s wise to include a silica gel sachet in each box. These sachets absorb excess moisture, helping to maintain optimal conditions and prevent potential mold or deterioration over time.

We hope these tips help ensure your grandmother’s porcelain dolls arrive at the auction house in pristine condition. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions!

Best regards,
