Moving House – Furniture Removal Packing Materials and Packing Tips

Moving can be extremely stressful, so to ease the local furniture removal or interstate furniture removal or backloading interstate removal, here are a few tips on packing all of your things up. It is probably the most time consuming part of the entire furniture removal process, whether you’re just moving across town or going to need interstate furniture removal services.

Make a List  

 

Making a list of all the things you’re taking along will ensure that you don’t forget to bring anything, and it’s a great way to organize what things will go together instead of just dumping as many things as possible into one box. This will also help make unpacking easier. You can just check the things that you wanted to pack off your list to see if they arrived.

 

Number or label your boxes so you know what’s what when it’s time to open up the boxes. You might also want to put unique or numbered labels on the boxes if you require interstate furniture removal in case you need access to some things before others. Although extremely time consuming, packing correctly will be worth it once you’re in your new home.

 

Proper Packaging Material Helps 

 

Be sure to buy all packaging material in bulk because you will need a lot of it, and it will be cheaper that way. This is true especially if you’re packing it yourself since you’ll probably be less efficient than professional packers. Ask around for the right materials for a furniture removal, so you can easily move your furniture and boxes on moving day.

Also keep a few spare boxes on hand for last-minute use. You’re going to need bedding, towels, and other essentials in one box right before you move, so keep a separate box or bag for the things that you’ll need.

While packing, make sure that you seal all of the moving boxes appropriately. Use packaging tape or duct tape to close the top and the bottom to make sure that the bottom doesn’t fall out. That way, you won’t have any problems when moving day comes.

Don’t use newspapers as a cushion while packaging. They often stain things, so it’s better to use either regular white paper or bubble wrap. All good furniture removalists have these materials available beforehand.

For those that really want an easy time unpacking and are willing to put in a little extra effort, you might want to get boxes with different color stickers on them, and assign a color to each room of the house. That way the furniture removalist, whether you’re moving it yourself or you’ve hired professional removalists, will be able to quickly unpack your things into the right rooms. You will also be able to start taking things out of the removal boxes starting with the most important things first.

Back Loading Options 

 

Before you invest thousands of dollars for a furniture removalist to move your things to your new house, consider back loading if you are undertaking and interstate move. Truck drivers going to different places often aren’t carrying anything in their trucks after their drop-off point and are willing to move your things for a cheaper price.

The size of the backload they’ll be willing to transport will be determined by how much they have in their truck. They can usually only travel on certain dates, so if you have a flexible time schedule, interstate backloading is a great money saving option. Interstate backloading will be much cheaper than undertaking a standard interstate furniture removal.

Remember to bring important documents such as birth certificates, utility company numbers, bank records, and everything else you’ll need to deal with when moving.

When you’re finally done moving and in your new home, take time out to unwind and explore your new home and city with your family. Hopefully you won’t have been stressed out too much while packing after reading our tips.
