Smart packing tips
- Start packing about 6 weeks before you move so you don’t have to rush and end up forgetting things.
- Write a list of items in each box so you can move and remember what’s in each box.
- Instead of buying boxes why not hire them. Boxes are picked up for free after your move so you don’t need to worry about them.
- Label boxes as fragile so the delicate items are treated more carefully.
- Count the number of boxes you have once everything is packed to keep track of all your items.
- Put all liquids in waterproof bags – nothing worse than spilt liquid throughout your clean boxes.
- If you’re transferring cupboards with draws – keep the clothes in the draws so you don’t need to pack and unpack the items again.
- If you have to take furniture apart to move it tape screws, bolts and other loose items to the underside of furniture so you don’t lose any.
