What to do a before your move
A bit of pre- planning and organising can relieve the stress of moving. As our service requires that you package your Furniture yourself, these hints will help when ‘You Box It’.
PACKING
Boxing: Use smaller sturdy boxes for heavy items and larger boxes for lighter items to reduce the number of boxes. Seal boxes at both the top and bottom with brown masking tape. Label boxes by their origin (e.g., bedroom, bathroom). Fragile items like mirrors and glasses require protective wrapping (bubble wrap or towels). Drain and wrap water-filled items, such as flower pots, in plastic to prevent leaks.
Preperation
Clear all passages, entrances and exits to allow for big Items to be removed out first. Please dismantle headboards and side cupboards from the beds as this saves time. Please see that the driveway is clear for the truck to get as close as possible, especially for complexes, where it would be beneficial to reserve a parking space nearest to the entrance.
Extra time to Organize
Delicate / Breakable items are also better protected when, not only bubble wrapped / in newspaper, but also sealed in boxes. Stacking boxes and bags closer to the entrance is advised as long as they do not block the passages and entrances / exits to move the large objects. Note: Boxes containing delicate / breakable items should be placed to one side as we pack them in last to avoid other heavier boxes being placed on top of them.
