Is It Safe to Handle Packages?

There are four areas in the online shopping chain that can endanger you and your family, and these are the packaging, shipping, distributing and delivering process. In the case of where the item is out of stock, we would add production in the list.

The process of ordering Tweed and accepting your package has fewer dangers when shipping is involved. Tweed orders that require shipment highly include two points of handling, the seller and delivery or distribution person. In terms of online shopping, the safety of shopping for Tweed at home highly depends on the delivery service you choose. We use APC which only does next day deliveries, that means your Tweed suit is not lying around in a warehouse collecting germs and potential viruses like the COVID -19.

Proper handling of surfaces is the first precaution when it comes to preventing the spread of corona. The information about the stability of COVID-19 on various surfaces is not clear. What we know so far is that that Coronavirus is stable for several hours to days on surfaces. In our case, plastic and cardboard are the two most used materials in the packaging of clothes. 

Part of Abitto service to our customer include maintaining the quality of the fabric, each part of the suit is pack individually in 3 separate plastic bags reducing the expose to anything harmful.   

 

 

What most people are doing when it comes to handling packages is first to determine all type of material. In the case of Tweed, we have wool, plastic and maybe cardboard. With this information in mind, you can either quarantine the delivery, sanitize it or do both.  We recommend that you do both but first start by quarantine the package. Handle the order with your gas mask and gloves on.
