To
make your move a little easier for you and the removalist, here
are some helpful hints or suggestions:
Gather cartons, paper, tape, and a good permanent marker from
friends, neighbours or purchase them from your local removal company
or shop
Disconnect and bundle cords on the television and stereo components,
marking where they go back in with tape
Disconnect the washing machine, dry out your fridge, dismantle
swings, trampoline, sheds, bundle your garden tools into bundles
of 5 with tape
Create a portable packing kit, consisting of marker, tape, tape
measure, knife (carry this with you as you pack)
Label each box as you go with the contents and which room it came
from so we know where to place it in your new home
Label boxes containing fragile items with large lettering
Place china in thick cartons and place plates on their sides,
not flat
Place glasses and cups upright, not on their sides
Place lamp shades and dried flowers into empty wardrobes or chest
of drawers, this adds no weight to the item and is the safest
place for them to be moved
Pack your TV, computer and stereo into original cartons wherever
possible
Pack heavy items such as books, wine & tools into smaller
boxes to keep the weight down so we can carry them and larger
light items into bigger boxes
Don't pack any flammable or explosive materials such as paint,
fuel, pressure packs or ammunition as removal companies cannot
carry them in transit
Pack a personal bag for your trip consisting of clothes, linen,
toiletries, medicine, maps, food, drink etc
Don't overcrowd rooms with boxes etc, place as many cartons/boxes
as possible into the garage or similiar area, this enables the
removalist team to get the larger pieces of furniture as they
load the van
Remember to place as much as possible into cartons/boxes, this
makes loading your furniture into the van much easier and safer
for your furniture and effects. We do not recommend plastic bags as they are hard to stow
in the removal van and often tear open.
FINALLY: If you are concerned about any article of furniture that
may be an antique please inform our professional staff who will
give that item special attention while loading
