If it has been a while since you last packed up your belongings, the task can feel overwhelming and stressful.That is why we want to provide a helpful guide for those who had the pleasure of packing recently. Our aim is to ensure the safety and security of your items during transit while also maximising your storage space.
Let us start with the boxes. It is crucial to pack them tightly, avoiding any empty spaces at the top. This means filling those gaps with soft items such as cushions, clothes, or even cherished teddy bears. By doing this, you can stack your boxes without worrying about them toppling over or collapsing. Moreover, using boxes that are all the same size will make stacking easier and allow you to efficiently utilise your storage space. When it comes to packing books, finding the right balance is important. Avoid overpacking the boxes to the point where they become too heavy to lift, as this could strain your back.
Additionally, laying the books flat in the boxes will minimise the potential for damage to their spines. For items that hold water, like washing machines, fridges, or hosepipes, it is crucial to ensure they are completely drained and cleaned before storing them with us. Leaving the doors slightly ajar will also help prevent any unpleasant odours from lingering. Maintaining organisation throughout the packing process is vital. Take a large marker pen and clearly label each box with a brief description.
Trust us, this simple step will save you a significant amount of time when searching for items in storage or when it is time to unpack at the end of your stay with us. Additionally, consider using fragile tape or marking boxes that require extra care. This will prevent them from being buried at the bottom of a stack or precariously perched on top. We hope these tips prove extremely helpful as you begin your packing journey.
