General Packing Tips

The most important thing to know about Packing is that your insurance probably won't cover your goods if they are not professionally packed. However, if you want to pack your own goods we are happy to provide these Professional Packing Tips.

• Carry all items with you. (Jewellery, valuable papers, currency) Movers will not accept responsibility
        for articles of such value.
• Refrigerators and freezers should be defrosted and allowed to dry at least 24 hours prior to the move.
• Before moving, dispose of any hazardous material.
• If self-packing, start well in advance prior to moving day. This avoids last minute packing rush
        and stress.
• Identify contents of each box for easy unpacking.
• All boxes should be taped securely.
• Pack lampshades in separate boxes.
• Do not wrap light coloured items in newsprint (Ink will rub off on item).
• Do not leave trays loose in fridge or stoves.
• Small Kitchen appliances should be packed firmly into boxes.
• Label all sides of boxes for easy identification.
• On moving day, check that all closets and other compartments are cleared.
• Leave all furniture in designated rooms.
• Any fixtures fastened to the wall should be taken down for the movers.
• Advise driver of any articles you require first in your new home so that they may be loaded accordingly.
