Organise yourself with lists of everything you need to do. This takes away some of the stress as you will be able to check off everything you do and then see what is left. Contact Camco Transports, Darwin removalists for assistance with creating a list.
Pack as soon as you can, don't wait until the last minute. A good place to start is in the shed with things that you don't often use and work your way into the house.
Choose your boxes carefully, only use 'double walled' boxes, they need to be strong enough to hold the weight. NEVER make the boxes so heavy that they cannot be lifted safely, the worst offender is books so use smaller boxes. If they are becoming heavy while you are packing them, try filling the rest of the box with light bulky items such as linen, towels, pillows, cushions or soft toys.
Always use strong tape and fasten the bottom and the top of all your boxes. DO NOT just fold in a criss-cross pattern, because as soon as this box is picked up with any weight inside, the flaps will unfold and everything will fall out.
Clearly label each box with the name of the room it should be placed in - such as the lounge or bedroom. It is best to write on the tape as if you are using professional packing boxes from a removal company, they will require them back in a good condition. If your items are going into storage then it is really helpful to attach a piece of paper to the side of each box with a list of contents, this way you can find items quickly and can save you a lot of hassle.
Always pack the kettle last, so it is the first thing unloaded. Moving house is thirsty work for everyone involved.
