Don’t use old or second hand boxes, they become weak and may end up at the bottom of a stack.

Boxes should weigh about 20-30lbs each. Our guys are strong but not exactly the Governor of California.

Pack your goods in new cardboard removal boxes and mark them clearly as to which room they are to be delivered to, and tape them closed (don’t use masking tape as its not strong enough).

Get plenty of boxes, you will surprise yourself by how many you will actually use.

Give yourself plenty of time to pack, it takes longer than you expect.

Pack your heavier items at the bottom of the box and lighter items at the top.              

Try to keep the weights of your boxes as uniformed as possible.

Pack plates to stand vertically, NOT laid flat, wrap them individually.

Ensure you don’t overload your boxes so they don’t close.
Stack your packed boxes against walls or in corners leaving our team room to work.

Most removal companies will offer to sell you boxes at a reduced price or may even included boxes free!

Check that the boxes are not dirty, second hand and that they are not single single layered. Cheap single layered boxes as supplied by some companies are not in our opinion suitable as they tend to collapse. See Hints and tips.
