An over shadowing worry of whether your items are protected enough to face the journey ahead. These three tips will help lift the cloud of worry and make your next move a breeze.
Wrap and box your breakables.
Reduce the potential of your breakables ending up broken by placing them in boxes properly padded and broke down. This includes everything from floor lamps to picture frames. Ensure they are wrapped in protective material such as bubble wrap or moving paper and that they are placed in proper sized and sturdy boxes. An easy way to check if the items are properly packed, is to gently shake it after wards. Any rattling or clinking and you know you need some additional padding. Press down on the box to see if the box moves at al.; If there is any give in the box, then you need to add more peanuts to the box.
Prepare your furniture for the move.
