Things To Avoid While Moving:
There are a few things that you need to avoid while moving as they can cause a lot of damage and stress. Don’t over pack your boxes, this increases the chance of them breaking or falling apart.
Avoid using newspaper for packing; it’s not very strong and will become wet if there is any moisture in the air (which happens at least once). It also tears easier than other materials like Plastic wrap, bubble wrap and cardboard!
Don’t stack heavy items on top of light ones- make sure each item has its own place so nothing gets broken during transportation. This includes appliances such as washing machines which should be well packed before being loaded into the truck. Don’t let anyone sit on furniture either! These are just some tips that will help you stay safe and get your items to their destination in the best condition possible.
Conclusion
Don’t over pack, don’t stack heavy on light and un-stack quickly once at your new home! That’s all it takes to make moving an easy task. So good luck with unpacking and enjoy this brand new chapter of life!
