Will the rice vermicelli break during transit?
A:Long dry rice vermicelli is fragile, but proper cartoning and cushioning materials can significantly reduce breakage.
Standard brand packaging—whether in boxes or bags—is secured within the carton to minimize movement.

What protective measures are taken during shipping?
A:- Original factory cartoning (to minimize internal movement)
- Internal cushioning (paper, bubble wrap, etc.)

What should I check upon receiving the goods?
A:- Check if the outer box is damp or damaged.
