  Moving Tips
 

  • Switch off the refrigerator, the night before removalists arrive.
  • Remove all coins, jewellery, chequebooks, keys and valuable collections from drawers and take them with you.
  • Start packing at least a couple of weeks before moving day. A slow steady pack is a lot less stressful.
  • Use strong boxes, trying not to overpack cartons. Special thick walled cartons are a good idea for dinnerware & glassware.
  • Place heavier items at the bottom of cartons with lighter items towards the top.
  • Label each box and indicate the room and contents, and clearly label if contents are fragile.
  • Save room by using towels to wrap fragile items.
  • Remove any loose shelves from bookcases etc, and tape them together.
  • Pack books tightly on their ends in smaller cartons.
  • Try not to leave too many clothes etc, in chests and dressers as this may damage the joints when they are moved.
  • Try to save a space for the truck outside your residence and notify your neighbours of any inconvenience.
