Ten Thousand Pots uses a state-of-the-art foam machine for to protect every piece of pottery. Our protective foam adapts to the shape of the ceramics within the box, creating custom cushions for every pot.

How Are Your Ceramics Packaged at Our Store?

We pack all orders according to their exact size and weight to get you the best shipping rate possible. Anything too large for UPS or USPS is packaged as a Less Than Truckload (LTL) order. Larger orders are assembled and secured on custom pallets or crated by hand. Smaller items, approximately 100 lbs. or less, can usually fit into a shipping box. Some of the steps we take to protect your ceramics include the following:

• We choose the best-looking piece of pottery from our yard. Our team inspects each piece for cracks or blemishes before shipment.
• Our packer chooses the appropriate size package from our assortment of durable double-corrugated boxes, wooden crates, or pallets. We make sure the pot fits with plenty of breathing room for the packing foam.
• With your pot in the box, we carefully place fresh foam sheets into the package. The foam expands, creating a protective layer around your piece. We check to ensure there are no gaps and that your item is secure.
• Finally, our warehouse team outfits the sealed package with durable nylon straps.

If your order is too large for one of our sturdy cardboard boxes, it will be packaged in a crate. Our crates are made from fresh plywood and fortified for long-distance shipping. Filling crates with foam takes extra time, but it ensures a safe, clean shipment.

Sometimes our orders are too large for even a crate. In this case, we ship your pottery on a sturdy wooden pallet. First, we construct a barrier around your pots using plywood and heavy-duty straps. Then, our team fills the empty space around your ceramics with fresh foam. The whole pallet is finally triple-wrapped in protective plastic. We also add "Fragile" stickers to the exterior of the parcel for extra insurance.
