Shipping tips

A well-packed puzzle arrives safely. Here's how to prepare your swap shipment so both parties are happy.

Choosing the right box

≤ 500 pieces

A padded envelope or a small flat-rate box works well. Keep total weight under 500 g.

500 – 1 500 pieces

Use a medium flat-rate box or a snug corrugated box. Leave as little empty space as possible.

2 000 + pieces

Ship in the original box if it's intact. Wrap it in a second corrugated box with 3 cm of padding on each side.

Packing checklist

  • Seal puzzle pieces in a zip-lock bag before placing in the box.
  • If the original box lid is loose, wrap it tightly with clear packing tape.
  • Fill voids with crumpled newspaper, kraft paper, or bubble wrap.
  • Write the recipient's address on the outside of the outer box, not the puzzle box.
  • Attach a note with your Moja Table username so the receiver can easily confirm arrival.

Carriers & cost estimates

Costs are approximate for domestic shipping within Canada. International swaps will vary.

Size Canada Post UPS / FedEx
Small (< 500 pcs) ~$8 – 14 ~$12 – 18
Medium (500 – 1 500) ~$14 – 22 ~$18 – 28
Large (2 000 +) ~$20 – 35 ~$25 – 45

Insurance & tracking

Always request a tracking number. For puzzles worth $30 or more, add $2–5 of shipping insurance — it covers loss or damage.

Share the tracking number with your swap partner in the app chat so they know when to expect the parcel.

🛡 Community safety tip

Moja Table's trust system only allows a review after both parties confirm arrival. Never skip the in-app confirmation step — it protects your community rating.
