Moving is definitely not the easiest thing to do and if you have never done it before you risk turning something that should be moving towards something bigger and better into a complete chaotic disaster that will haunt you into the new home or into the new office.
One of the most difficult part with moving is making sure that you pack all your things properly. If you have not hired any moving specialists, you will have to deal with the hassle of this task on your own. However, you should not despair because you can quickly learn some of the tricks these professionals use as well and which will definitely make your life easier. Read on and find out more about this.
1. Pack heavier items in smaller boxes. Books, for example, can turn out to be much heavier than you would imagine and it would be better for your own safety and for the safety of those helping you move out to put them in smaller boxes.
2. Light items, on the other hand, can go very well into large boxes. Summer clothing is one example but basically anything that can be “squeezed” and it is lightweight can be easily packed in larger boxes.
3. You do not have to actually empty out all the drawers. As a matter of fact, it may be better for you if you leave some towels, linen, pyjamas and some other basic necessity items in the drawers because this way you will know where to find them.
4. Be very careful about the small items such as remote controls, cables and so on. They can be very easily be lost during the transportation process and you will not be very happy about it. Tape them around larger items (preferably, the items they belong to – such as the remote control taped on the TV) or pack them in colourful paper so that you can spot them easily.
5. The best way to pack electronics is in their original casing and box. These boxes were built precisely to protect the electronics inside of them and if you have kept them (which is very likely you did, considering the fact that they are one of the main criteria for the product’s warranty), you will be more than OK with this part. For extra-protection, you can add the original boxes in another box.
6. Buffering between two boxes or pieces of furniture during the transportation process but sometimes you may not want to invest a lot in this. If you have any clothing items, linen or any other items made out of fabric that did not fit in the luggage and boxes, then you can use them as buffers.
7. Dishes can be extremely problematic to pack away. Although you may be tempted to believe that you should be stacking the dishes up, the truth is that moving specialists will advise them to put them on the side. The stuffing is still necessary though!
8. Make sure that things that are related to each other are packed together and that you label them. For instance, make sure that you write on the box what it contains, as well as the room in which it should go.
