Packing and Moving Tips

The big day is looming and you cannot put off the packing any longer! But never fear; here at Cube Self Storage we understand that moving can be a stressful time, so we have compiled a list of handy packing and moving tips we think everyone should know!

Ø  First things first… If you fail to prepare then prepare to fail. It will probably take you much longer than you anticipated! So plan early, better to be prepared as on the moving day you will have other things to worry about.

Ø  Large items: These will need to go into your storage unit or van first, and be sure to utilise space in draws and wardrobes.

Ø  Delicate items: Ensure to protect all delicate items appropriately, otherwise you risk damaging your prized possessions. Bubble wrap till your heart’s content on items such as dinner ware and cutlery… but never on fine art!

Ø  Be Organised: Make labels, Cube offers a range of packing materials and labels to help you colour coordinate and organise effectively.

Ø  Beware of the Box: Boxes are usually unreliable; the last thing you want is your contents crashing out of an ill prepared box, check out our sister company Easycrate who have a range of reusable plastic crates to hire. Crates are also stackable so take up less room in transit!

Ø  Take the opportunity to throw out any unwanted items, donate to charity or of course; put into storage for another time.
