TIPS ON PACKING

The packing of goods is most important when moving your valuables and belongings. If you decide to pack for yourself, consider the weight of boxes when packed, the strength of the cartons you use, and the sealing tape you use. This could be the difference between a smooth move and a disaster!

Mix books and heavy items with linen and clothing to distribute weight and add extra padding to breakables.

Title each box with the Contents so that they can be immediately taken to the appropriate room when they reach their destination.

The original packaging that came with your electrical equipment and valuables is generally the safest to use. If you have these boxes and wrapping still – use them. Any electrical goods fused as a result of moving are generally not covered by insurance companies.

If you choose to do your own packing to save money, make sure you pack your items well because often a request for insurance will be refused by insurance companies. For the best (and insured) results, use a professional packer who knows how to look after your belongings correctly.
