When it comes to especially stressful things, moving is up there on the list. But when you choose to look for the best Perth furniture removalists this can really help with that. Having experts who know what they are doing, have the experience and training, the strength and stamina and the expertise can really lift a lot of the load. Another thing that can help make things go better is packing with some thought. Here are some tips on how to pack for an interstate move.
Make sure packing boxes are labelled well
A big issue during the packing, moving and unpacking process can happen when people do not have a system in place for their boxes. While writing on them where the contents are for, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom etc., is a good start, there are other options you might look into. This could be especially handy if when you choose to hire the best Perth furniture removalists and you hire them for unpacking, you color co-ordinate so they know where to put things. For example, you put different colors on each door of the new home and then stick matching colors to the boxes so it is not just you who knows where to put things. Then there are no issues of not being able to read your writing, or any other confusion. Even your children if you have them can get involved in putting things in the right place.
Start earlier than you think you need to!
You can never start too early when it comes to packing. Far too often moving companies have the problem where the people are still packing on move day when this should be a time for moving items onto the transportation truck. Packing should be done by now! You will be surprised by how long packing takes, and you might think it is just a few things in the room left, but suddenly you realise there is a lot more to be done still than you thought. The last thing a long interstate move needs is a delay at the start. Most people have belongings they rarely use, things they can sort and give away, sell or recycle, or things they can pack early. Starting 8 to 12 weeks ahead of move day if you are doing the packing yourself is a good move. When you are not having to rush you will feel less stressed about the process.
Start in a room you do not use
If you have a spare room it is a good choice to start there. The items there are as described above, probably ones you are not using often, and you can spread out the packing and it will not be in the way of your day-to-day life. Once that room is done you might start packing less used items but keep the room as your packing base, and place where you keep the packed boxes. Just remember that even the best Perth furniture removalists do better when boxes are not overly stuffed and falling open, and when there is room for them to navigate the home to pack everything up.
