Firstly, I wouldn’t send a chandelier by post unless I really, really had no other option. With a high value, fragile item I would always opt for an express or dedicated vehicle. Check with your courier before booking as to whether the item is covered by their insurance, often glass (crystal) isn’t covered, and as that is the main part of a chandelier, it pays to shop around.
Couriers carry higher insurances and have nothing else on the vehicle except for your item, making it less likely to get damaged. Sometimes, you need to send it via the post or via a parcel carrier. So to get it to it’s destination in one piece, find a box big enough for the chandelier and the packaging. You will need to remember if the item is over 25kgs it may need to be lifted by 2 people HSE rules.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, there’s a reason to celebrate, act and talk like a pirate on September 19. If you haven’t guessed, International Talk like a Pirate Day lands on that day! And for those of us who can’t just let a special day like that go by without throwing a special bash full of booty that even Davey Jones would be proud of, fear not! Even the driest landlubber can celebrate this fine, scurvy loving holiday by hosting a party at home.
Sticking with the theme of “piracy” is important when decorating for this type of party. As such, lighting will play an important role for your décor. Think of old pirate ships, old haunts where pirates and wenches could be found, bars and the like. Decorating after the Captain’s Quarters of any old pirate ship can be a good theme to play off of. Vintage, traditional looking chandeliers filled with gemstones and candelabras are always ideal as lighting centerpieces for any room, and they sure evoke a pirate ambience. Keep the lighting of your chandelier dim so that your party has that mysterious, old ship feel. And for extra kicks, tie a rope by your chandelier and anchor the end to a latch on the wall; don’t attach the rope literally to the chandelier. The whole purpose is to make it look like you could untie the rope and swing from it as the chandelier drops.
