Things to do Prior to your Removal
- Consider a Garage Sale! It's a great way to boost the bank balance and get rid of anything that you have not used recently.
- Defrost your refrigerator and freezer about 12 hours prior to moving and make sure you drain all the water.
- Disconnect stereo and computer equipment. Remember to remove any cd's and dvd's prior to transportation.
- Valuable Items - Please keep all cash, banknotes, jewellery, securities, stamp or other collections or documents of value with you during your removal.
- Confirm Settlement/Moving In Time - and advise our office if there are any changes to ensure your day runs smoothly.
Packing Tips
- Write the destination room and the contents of the boxes on the side and top of the boxes, this makes it easier to locate goods when the boxes are stacked. EG. Kitchen - Dinner Set. Please ensure all of your cartons are adequately sealed.
- Wrap china in white butcher's paper. Don't use newspaper as it can permanently stain.
- Individually wrap every china item and bunch paper at the bottom, sides and the top of the carton to act as a cushion. Place plates on their edge and glasses on their rim, stem upwards, with the heavier items on the bottom.
- Evenly distribute weight within your boxes and ensure they can be lifted by one man.
