Moving hints and suggestions
When packing use appropriate packing boxes i.e. tea chest, wine and book cartons
If you over pack a box you risk damaging its contents
Stuff socks, tea towels, pillow cases and other small fabric items in holes and crevices in boxes
Keep all screws, bolts and other loose items in bags, taped to underside of furniture
Pot plants – prune and do not water prior to packing
Ensure children and pets are safe and out of harm’s way
Remove all trip hazards from floor
Consume your supplies of frozen and perishable items
If box contains breakable items clearly mark fragile
If chest of draws/tall boys aren’t too heavy leave clothes inside and securely tape draws shut
Disconnect all electrical items
Where possible dismantle beds as this is time consuming and will save on the cost of the removal.
Please insure all boxes are closed properly so tops are flat and securely sealed
Bundle loose items such as bed slats, garden tools or shelving together with tape or string
