How to pack boxes

 

To ensure a seamless moving experience, we ask our customers to have their boxes packed and ready.

  • Keep the weight down. If it fits in a box, it should be in a box. Make sure boxes are full and securely sealed.  Please don't overload a box as we have lots of lifting to do. 
  • Proper Packing: Use plenty of packing material at the bottom and top of each box. Suitable materials include crumpled paper, pillows, cushions, and bedding.
  • Avoid Rattling: Items should be snug and immobile to prevent breakage.
  • Vertical Packing: Always pack plates, stemmed glasses, and pictures vertically.
  • Weight Distribution: Place heavy items like books, vinyl records, toiletries, food, drinks, and linens in smaller boxes. Use larger boxes for lighter items. If a box starts to get too heavy, top it off with lighter items.
  • Fill to the Top: Ensure boxes are filled to the top to prevent crushing.
  • Lamp Packing: Remove lampshades from lamps to make them easier to pack.
  • Bagging Soft Furnishings: Soft furnishings can go in sturdy black bags, but avoid using carrier bags. We do not accept fragile items in any bags.

 

Following these guidelines will help ensure a happy and efficient removal crew.
