Moving Tips Part 3/4: What Makes Packing Go Smoothly?


  • Generally, our clients pack their own boxes.  Advance Removals will pack all furniture items as they are loaded.
  • Order boxes and any other packing materials in plenty of time.  Remember Advance Removals can deliver these to your door.  Allow one box per cupboard.
  • As you pack keep a copy of your inventory handy and let us know if any items have been missed or added, to save any unexpected payments on moving day.
  • Work on packing up one room a day – and don’t forget the contents of your shed!
  • Have a friend come over to help.
  • Don’t plan on filling the car up with possessions.  The car carriers won’t accept loose items in the vehicle because of the risk of theft. If you are driving yourself, keep the car boot empty for extras or last minute stuff.
  • Back up your PC files.
  • Drain fuel from mowers, heaters and other petrol driven motors.
  • Empty LPG gas tanks.  Better still, take your tank to a swap place and get a receipt so you can redeem it for a new one at the other end – many trucks won’t even carry an empty gas cylinder.
  • Defrost the fridge and freezer the day before you move and switch off in good time. Make sure there’s no water in the overflow trough in the bottom.
