Packing Tips from Our Local Experts
Save yourself time (and backache) by following these pro tips:
Start early: pack non-essentials 1–2 weeks before the move
Label everything by room and content type
Wrap plates vertically — they’re stronger that way
Keep essentials (tea, phone chargers, documents) in one “first night” box
Don’t overfill large boxes — they’ll split
Don’t fancy packing? We’ll do it for you.
