How to safely ship a cuckoo clock:

• Items needed: Product box and outer shipping box.

*Do NOT ship your cuckoo clock without using the product box and an outer shipping box. If you do not have your product box anymore, the clock is not shippable.

The goal of the following steps is to have no loose items in the box that could damage the clock during transport.

• Get the empty product box.
• Take weights, pendulum, and top carving (if your clock has one) off and wind-up clock.
• Latch cuckoo door (metal wire next to door).
• Take clock off the wall and lay on its face on a soft surface.
• Open back door.
• Put clip(s) on bellows.
• Stick piece of paper in coil gong on back door.
• Close back door.
• Thread wire through chain (as close as possible to the case) and pack up chain in enclosed bag. Tie wire around bag to hold it tight to the case. The goal is to secure the chain, so it does not tangle around and get caught inside the mechanism and won’t damage the clock carvings.
• Place clock, pendulum, weights, and top carving in product box making sure it gets a tight fit.
• Seal product box with shipping tape.
• Put the product box in a separate shipping box. Fill the empty spaces with paper, bubble wrap or air pockets, so the product box does not move. This will greatly reduce the risk of damage to the clock during shipment.

Please make sure to follow the above steps. Fehrenbach Black Forest Clocks is not responsible for damages during the transportation process resulting from improper packing. Violation of the above return shipping instructions may void the warranty on your clock.
