What to work out first · Shipping & Handover
Getting Them There, Insured
Silver awards are valuable objects going to a date-critical event, which makes shipping a real part of the job rather than an afterthought.
Send the occasion, the quantity, the date and the budget per piece. You get a straight answer, including whether silver is the wrong choice here.

Sterling or fine silver — not plated, not filled

One box to a venue is the risky option
Shipping every award in one consignment to a hotel two days before the event concentrates the entire program into one parcel and one front desk. It is the cheapest option and it is the one that produces the phone call nobody wants on the morning of the event.
Individual shipping to recipients has become far more common and it introduces its own risk. Home addresses are frequently wrong or out of date in HR records, and an insured parcel delivered to a former address is still a lost award. Confirming addresses directly is worth the extra step.
The realistic options
- To your office ahead of time, so you can verify and transport them.
- Directly to the venue, timed and tracked, with a named recipient.
- To individual home addresses, insured separately.
- Split consignments, so one delay does not take the whole program.
- Insured to value in every case.
Why early delivery to you is safer
Taking delivery at your own office a week or two ahead lets you check every name against the list while there is still time to correct something. That check has caught errors on more than one program.
It also removes the dependency on a venue handling a valuable parcel during a busy week, which is the arrangement most likely to produce a problem on the morning of an event.
How we handle it
- 01Ship insured to the declared value, always.
- 02Deliver ahead of the event, never on the day.
- 03Split consignments on larger programs.
- 04Provide tracking on everything.
- 05Package so pieces arrive presentation-ready.
Take delivery at your own office a week early wherever possible. It lets you check every name against the list while there is still time to fix something, which is worth far more than the convenience of shipping straight to the venue.
Said plainly
Where we stop
We cannot control a venue's internal handling once a parcel is signed for. If it must go to a hotel, name a specific person and confirm they will be there.
