We offer necessary
relocation instructions and packing guidance.
Packing tips that are simple and basic sense include the following.
- Consider packing heavy goods in smaller boxes and lighter, bulkier items in bigger ones. Avoid over-or under-packing boxes. The package will likely break up if you over pack, and things will protrude from the upper side. This complicates the mover's task of stacking them within the vehicle. Additionally, putting boxes underneath them is harmful - frequently, the top of the box may damage or crumble.
- Make an effort to utilise new, more durable boxes. Boxes that have been through several relocations may not be as secure as a new box. Robust goods may be packed in used groceries boxes; but, breakables should be packed in something more durable.
- Packing supplies — wrapping paper, packing peanuts, and bubble wrapping – should be plenty. It is critical to stack materials generously at the base of boxes holding delicate goods.

Tips for Relocating Valuable items
- Books, records, and CDs should be packed in smaller boxes. Records should be stacked end to end, parallel to one another.
- Using paper to packaging wrap delicate items separately is a valuable method when relocating fragile items. Large plates and other bulky items should be positioned on their edges and at the base of the containers. Glasses and platters should be positioned towards the box's top. Dishes and plates should be arranged vertically, separated by wrapping paper.
- Relocation advice for mirrors, glass panels on furniture, and extensive photographs These goods should be secured for shipping to ensure complete protection. These items may be wrapped in bubble wrap or put in the picture or mirror boxes to protect them for a local relocation.
- Suggestions for relocating your personal items: You should personally relocate legal papers, jewellery, and cash. Maintain custody of these things during the relocation.
