I have made my booking. What should I do on my side? Any moving tips?

Accepted Answer

Moving is a stressful task to many people. After years of moving experience, here are some moving tips to make your move smooth and hassle free. 
1. Pack your belongings according to the room and colour code the boxes. This makes sorting and unpacking in the new location much more convenient. 
2. Keep your valuables in a smaller box that you can keep safely with you at all times. This will prevent misunderstanding and minimize worrying.
3. Use the boxes provided by our movers to pack your items. Arrange your items such that the heavirt ones are at the bottom and the lighter ones on top. Keep each box to 25KG for convenient moving.
4. Keep your appliances and household items dry (refrigerator, washing machine, water hose and pails). Tape them shut to prevent moving or opening.
