Some tips for stress-free moving
There is no one-size-fits-all formula. It depends on how much work you want to save, how big your house is, how many people live in it, and your aptitude for collecting.
But you can make an estimate . This will help you in your preparations and won’t make you start packing blindly.
First: make an inventory
Start by making a detailed list of all the items you need to pack for each room. Then organise the list into groups, putting together all the items that can be packed together.
Second: start accumulating boxes a few months in advance or refer to a retailer like us.
We advise you to accumulate as many boxes as you can in the months before the move, don’t throw away any packaging, you will need them.
A good rule of thumb is to have at least 10-12 boxes per room.
Thirdly, determine the type of boxes and packaging you need.
. You can choose small American single-wave cardboard boxes (they are the cheapest) for kitchen utensils, laundry and stationery.
. You can choose American double-wave cardboard boxes for lamps, knick-knacks, electronic equipment. The double cardboard layer guarantees a higher weight capacity.
. We advise you to use wardrobe boxes for all your most important clothes, they allow you not to fold them.
. if you have valuable dishes and glasses you can use special cardboard beehives, excellent separators inside the boxes.
In general, there are kits of moving essentials, comprising not only the boxes but also bubble wrap for glassware, boxes, adhesive tape for closure and markers to indicate the contents of each box.
Fourth: take your time
Start packing all non-essential items. In short, move ahead. During the last stage of the move also remember to leave the boxes containing toothpaste, toothbrush, changes, etc. outside, within easy reach. It sounds trivial, but in most removals people get desperate because they no longer know where they have stuffed the INDISPENSABLES!
You can choose to hire moving companies that will pack everything for you, but if you want to save money, we are there.
