In this post you can read about the most important things that you need to do while the move and packing of your belongings.
-
Think about the work equipment beforehand: packaging, tape, markers, labels – all the important things should be prepared before the beginning of packing. There is nothing worse than a break in the middle of the packaging process, only due to the fact that urgently you need to go to the store for the tape.
-
Filled boxes should weigh no more than 20-23 kg.
-
Heavier things is better to lay on the bottom of the box.
-
Route voids and cracks in boxes with socks, handkerchiefs, pillowcases and other fine textiles, you need just to watch that pair items (like socks) were added together!
-
Make sure that all the boxes are closed properly, they can be sealed so that the top was smooth. If you pack in a box too many things and very tightly stuff it, you are risking of damaging its contents.
-
Small and easily lost items need to be assembled first in separated small boxes or bags, sealed well and only then to be packed in a big box. And do not forget to sign all the boxes, both large and small.
-
If you need to transport liquid in the bottles, then either put them first in special airtight plastic containers or tightly wrap the mouths with duct tape to make sure that nothing will flow out. Then place them in a waterproof bag, seal them and only then pack them in a box. Mark on the box that it has breakable items and mark with an arrow where the top of the box and where the bottom is.
-
If you hire a moving company it is necessarily for you to provide a list of all the boxes with a list of their contents. And to keep them as long as you get and disassemble them at the new place. If some of them gets lost, you will know the contents of the lost box and will be able to make a claim to the moving company.
-
Clothes can be packed right on the hangers, folded previously in waterproof bags or special covers for clothing.
-
The box, in which you will pack everything that you need a new place in the first place like all the essentials, mark as the most important one, that will be loaded the last and unloaded as the first one.
-
Do not pack in the boxes documents and valuables with the rest of the property. Take them with you. If there is lot of important documents, it will be safer to send them by courier.
-
If possible put things from one room together. This facilitates their unfolding in a new place.
-
Involve everyone in the process of packing things and collecting boxes of your household. Plan the work for each family member, assign each responsible for a specific area of work. Thus you will not only speed up the process of collecting, but will fulfill your small team with spirit of unity and enthusiasm.
-
