Let us take the load

Moving sucks. There's really no way around that, but it can be a lot more tolerable and a lot less stressful. Here's a look at our best recommendations for an easier and more efficient move.

 

A lot of moving generally takes place over the next few months, and while everyone's experience and needs vary a little, a lot of the work involved in moving is the same no matter who you are. There's a lot to go over, so feel free to skip around:

 

Preparation

There is so much to do in preparation for your move: set up mail forwarding, change over your utilities, acquire packing supplies, and so on. The move, itself, is really the easy part as you'll spend most of your time packing and unpacking. If you want everything else to go as smoothly as possible, you'll need to prepare well. It's a time-consuming and detailed process, but it'll ultimately make your move significantly more simple and less stressful.

 

 

Finding Packing Supplies On the Cheap
There are a lot of places to buy packing supplies, but boxes and tape can add up to quite a bit of money. You can avoid this additional cost by hitting up one of quite a few places handing out free boxes. Most retailers receive a lot of shipments, but your best bet is to contact furniture stores. While your average retailer may be able to provide you with some used boxes, you'll be able to find a greater range of sizes from furniture stores. Be sure to call them up at least a week in advance of when you want to start packing, however, as box disposal isn't necessarily a daily task. If your friends are moving before you, another way to get used boxes is to ask them to give them to you when they're finished. You may also be able to find boxes in the office you work in, or ask a friend to bring home any boxes they can find at the office. For more ideas, check out these

Our teams will arrive with 1 or 2 hand trucks to aid in packing heavy items.

 

 

 

Taking Measurements

 

 

Due to the nature of the business, it's absolutely crucial to make sure we have as accurate measurements as possible.  As space is is extremely important when taking items abroad. This also stops you incurring unexpected costs for additional space you didn't budget for and also helps us get your items moved more efficiently. Use some tape Measure ,Also ,as we charge per Kg it's important we have the total weight of your items.

 

Labeling and Managing Your Inventory

Without a doubt, this can and probably will be the most annoying thing about packing. However, it is also one of the most important aspects, Not only for your own sanity when you get to the other end but also for insurance purposes.  We will require that all items are labeled and tagged and a full list of inventory is giving both to us and whoever is receiving the items at the other side.

Our insurance policy will cover up to £20.000 of goods(See attached T&C) whilst in transit, however, without an accurate inventory this cover will be void.Esspecially if your items are going into storage.
