Moving process can get seriously tough if you do not plan and execute before shifting your household belongings. This cumbersome time consuming process can seem impossible without the right help. Here are some tips from expert Birchgrove removals to make the process simpler before the actual moving process. Of course there is no substitute for professional help however it is important that you pack in a specific way so that once you reach your destination you can unpack and arrange just as quickly. Remember most professionals limit to packing, delivering and unpacking of big items while the small items may be moved but not necessarily packed and unpacked.
- Label each box, when unpacking or setting up in the new place you can easily get what you want instead of searching through all the boxes for the one thing you may need urgently
- Record, even if only a rough one as to what each box contains. You could may be number each box and in a notebook or on your computer write what the box contains. For instance reference box no. 5 on the carton that contains all the kitchen utensils and make a rough list of what it actually has in your notebook. When you are searching for a specific item you can cross reference with this. You can also use colour referencing along with numbers like all the items from the bedroom can have numbers as well as blue colour referencing. This will also help the Birchgrove Removalist at the unpacking stage; they can set all the items of one colour into the corresponding room instead of just dumping it in the hallway
- Avoid overfilling the boxes and cartons. Not only does it become heavy while lifting and shifting but the box may tear or the packing tape may tear open due to the pressure and the items may spill out. Similarly do not leave boxes half empty. It increases your expenses on carton boxes and secondly the half-filled box may tend to cave in when other things are stacked over it. Distribute things as evenly as possible in all the boxes even if they spill into boxes of different rooms (like when you colour coding them)
- Before starting the packing ensure you have more than enough packing material, and this does not mean only boxes. You will need cartons, bubble wrap, plenty of paper or corrugated roll, lots of strings, adhesive tape, marker pens and self-adhesive colour strips
If you are getting professional help packing all these items you may still want to segregate each to make things easy for both of you.
