Summer is nearly upon us, and you know what that means: it’s moving time! Over the course of the next few months, thousands of families like you will decide they want some new scenery and begin the process of packing and moving their belongings.
We recognize, however, that this process can be frustrating. Especially if you aren’t experienced with moving, you may be missing out on a few crucial tips that have the power to make your entire move effortless.
Here are three game-changing tips for packing and moving within the UK:
Tip #1: Use the Russian Doll Technique
The first tip on our list is to use the Russian Doll technique to pack your things into boxes and bins. For those who are unaware, this technique dictates that you save space wherever possible by fitting small items into more oversized, hollow items.
For example, let’s say that you’re packing away a few pairs of shoes. To save space, you might shove socks or undergarments inside of them to take up that void.
This can be done with most items, but remember to be careful if you are packing one fragile item within another fragile item. Be sure to wrap the smaller fragile item up before you insert it, and use plenty of dunnage around the larger one!
Tip #2: Label Everything
Unpacking can get messy, especially if you’re trying to unpack in any particular order. You start off looking for your box of candles and then suddenly clothes and linens are strewn all over the floor, every box is open, and you still haven’t found what you’re looking for.
To avoid this nightmarish scenario, we recommend labeling absolutely everything. As you pack, take a permanent marker and label the outside of your boxes with the categories of items that are inside, the room they will be going in, and then add an F if there are fragile objects.
Tip #3: Hire a Reliable Man and Van Company
No matter how good you are at packing and moving, it’s bound to get exhausting sooner or later. For this reason, we recommend hiring a reliable man and van company to take care of the hard stuff for you.
