Packing
The most laborious task of house removal is
the packing process. There is a huge variety of house hold goods in every home
which are to be packed with different type of packing materials and boxes of
different sizes. So it is advisable to start packing your belongings about two
months before your move. Work out that how much you have to move and which type
of packing material you needed. Buy Packing materials such as bubble wrappers,
wardrobe boxes, mattress/sofa covers, glassware boxes and television boxes,
binding tape, scissors and markers. Cover
all the furniture and clothes with plastic sheets while moving to prevent the
furniture from damages on the way. Clothing materials should be packed up in
suit cases. Most of the removal companies offer packing
together with supplying materials so you can invite them to have a pre move
visit of your house to arrange for the materials and boxes for packing according
to the nature and sizes of your items. It is good idea to label the boxes with
stickers and markers
Insurance
of valuables
Another problem of relocation process is the
damage of goods in transit. Choose a removal company which provides an insurance
coverage for the goods damaged in transit. For this purpose you will need to
provide them a declaration of value for your valuables. The declaration of
value is an important document that sets the compensation amount one can
receive in case of loss or damage of his belongings. Must
fill your declaration of value yourself according to the true value of your
belongings and don’t forget to demand an insurance certificate from the removal
service providers.
