Things I would tell you if I wasn’t scared to hurt your feelings **Pre-packing Edition**
1. Yes, you do need to pack your kitchen ‘properly’. 🍽️📦
Packing all your kitchen items even ‘if they’re just mugs you don’t use’ in packing paper will reduce breakage. Adding paper creates a ‘cushion’ to your items to whilst they are in transport they stay safe and the rest of the goods in that box is also safe.
This goes for all delicate/fragile items. Keeping everything safe for removal is the goal!
2. No, you cannot pack books in a standard carton. 📚📦
Please keep books in ‘book and wine’ cartons, typically the smaller carton. This allows a fair weight for your removalist picking them up and also keeps the bottom of the box from falling out due to the contents being too heavy.
3. Yes, you need to check all your lids for sauces/drinks/cleaning products. 🫗📦
Keep lids on tight to make sure there’s no leakage through your boxes. Leakage = damaged boxes = contents falling out of boxes = broken items.
Soy sauce is normally the main culprit!
4. Ask. For. Hanging. Boxes. (Port-a-robes) 👗👔📦
This will save you time! Hanging boxes are an easy set up for you to transfer your hanging clothes from wardrobe to box and then from box to new wardrobe AND save you time having to iron clothes from them being folded into a box.
5. QUALITY BOXES !!! 📦 👍🏻
Quality of your box matters! Too many times have we seen clients boxes squished/broken or resembling the leaning tower of piazza when we go to our load ups.
It makes it very hard for a removalist to safely stack in a truck, meaning more time moving and manouvering our stacks + we CARE about the goods inside the boxes and when you see boxes starting to squish due to weight we start to get concerned on what’s packed in those cartons.
