Packing Tips

Peter Rabbit Removals wants your move to be as smooth and stress free as possible. We’ve prepared a few packing tips that can help make your next move as efficient, quick and pain-free.

Packing tips when packing your own belongings

If you are planning on packing your own items the following packing tips will help:

  • Consider the weight of boxes when packed, the strength of the cartons you use, and the sealing tape used. This could be the difference between a smooth move and a disaster! Here are some tips:
  • Use strong boxes and quality tape.
  • Mix books and heavy items with linen and clothing to distribute weight and add extra padding to breakables.
  • Pack heavy items, such as books and crockery in smaller boxes and lighter items in larger boxes.
  • Do not overload boxes, make sure they can close flat and do not bulge.
  • Wrap fragile items individually and use lots of paper. Ensure a snug fit so things don’t move about in the box.
  • Use clean paper to wrap breakables, newspaper can leave marks on your posessions.
  • Label each box with the contents so that they can be immediately taken to the appropriate room when they reach their destination.
  • Write on the tape, not the box, so the box can be re-used, especially when using the box buy-back scheme.
  • Keep an inventory list of all the boxes for insurance purposes in case any go missing.
  • The original packaging that came with your electrical equipment and valuables is generally the safest to use. If you still have these boxes and wrapping – use them. Any electrical goods fused as a result of moving are generally not covered by insurance companies.
  • If you choose to do your own packing to save money, make sure you pack your items well because often a request for insurance will be refused by insurance companies. For the best (and insured) results, use a professional packer who knows how to look after your belongings correctly.

Three Men vs Two Men

Hiring a three man team will almost always work out being more efficient than two men. Here's why:
  • While two men are carrying out items the third man is wrapping and tying off. There's no waiting around for the second man to come in and help carry things out to the truck.
  • The same goes for unloading, one man readies items, whilst other two men carry items in.
  • Less time mean less to pay.
  • 3 men can more efficiently dismantle and reassemble beds, furniture etc.
