Preparing for your move:
If you choose to bay boxes from us .The boxes are delivered flat with sufficient
tape. We don’t sell or send boxes they have been used previously your
can have boxes from local shop that was used to reduce packing cost
If you run out of boxes, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will make
an effort to make a second packing
delivery as soon as possible.
Making up and sealing the boxes
Tape boxes using two lengths of tape, the first through the middle and across
to hold the box together and the second along to seal the box. Do the same
on the top of the box and write across the tape, using a permanent marker,
the room where the box is to be placed and a brief description of the contents
e.g. Bedroom one, bedroom 2, kitchen ….etc
What box to use for what
smaller boxes should be used to pack heavy, small items such as books, records,
tins, bottles, cutlery, heavy food rice, sugar etc. Long stemmed glasses,
delicate ornaments, very fragile china, glasses and small pictures should
also be packed in these boxes or make note to your packers
movers for extra care.
Books boxes smaller and stronger
Books, for the most part, should be packed flat. They may be packed on their
edges, but never with the opening facing downwards as this may break the binding.
Pictures and records should be packed on their edges to asure a good packing
. Make sure when packing that bottle tops are tight and pack bottles upright.
Medium sized boxes are the most commonly used and are used for most other
household effects such as pots, pans, glass, china, ornaments, pictures, clothing,
food etc. When packing china
plates they should be placed on their edges, never flat, on the bottom of
the box in batches of three or four, with paper between each plate.
When the bottom of the box is covered continue filling with heavy china, Pyrex,
mugs, bowls, vases etc. On top of this place glass and china (pack glasses
upright.) Fill the boxes to capacity using soft items such as pillows, cushions,
towels, cuddly toys, etc to take up any space on top. It is also a good idea
to place soft items between each layer of china. Do not overfill the boxes;
keep them square and in shape or ask your packers
movers to do so.
Larger boxes should be used for lighter items such as clothing, light linen,
shoes, bedding, toys, board games etc You may also pack light pots and pans
in these cartons. Keep back sufficient large boxes for packing of bedding
in current use and mark boxes accordingly
Empty Boxes
When opening the boxes and making them flat, cut through the tape using a
knife or scissors, please do not rip the tape off as this is messy and tends
to ruin the box. We will collect the empty flat boxes as soon as possible
after you notify us. We are unable to take other used materials or rubbish.
Hanging Clothes
Transit rails will be on our vehicle for your use on moving day. If you are
storing hanging garments we are able to supply cardboard wardrobes at an additional
cost.
Sometime is necessary to pack chests of drawers, ottomans or similar furniture
if they are expensive .
Last tea and coffee
Tea and coffee making equipment should be packed last in one box and marked
urgent, to be opened first .
