Removals to/from Ireland – save up to 60%

Moving to a new house is among the most ordinary situations we can encounter in our life. And despite the fact we change the place we live in averagely a few times in our lifetime, removals are still among the most nerve-wracking activities that can happen to us. Just figuring out the logistics of transporting all your belongings between houses is quite a task and when you add packing, unpacking as well as selecting the best hauler to help you with the move, it seems really colossal and very stressful. Luckily there are a few ways to make the move as simple as can be and considerably less stressful.

Packing and securing your belongings for shipment

The most important thing you should remember while packing is that you should create a precise list of steps that you’ll have to stick to through the whole process. It is good to create an inventory of every item you want to transport. Such a list can not only make the packing easier but additionally will allow you to check if all your belongings were safely shipped to its place of destination. Removal entails transporting a big amount of various items, including a big amount of small items that are easily misplaced under the pressure of time – a list will ensure that you will remember to make sure they all made it to the place of destination safely. The next crucial step is tagging all the boxes as precisely as you can. One of the most useful ways of labelling cardboards is by the room name. So all the kitchen supplies and appliances go into cardboards tagged ‘kitchen’, all the duvets as well as personal items in the box tagged ‘bedroom’ and so on. You’ll quickly find out how much time labelling can save once you get to the unpacking part. Don’t forget to tag both sides and the top of the cardboard, to make sure that you (as well as the hauler) can be sure which box goes where, regardless of how they will be stacked in the shipping vehicle.

Be extra careful when preparing to transport delicate goods. Wrap them in thick layers of fabric as well as bubble wrap and label them in an easily visible place (including a “This way up” label). You should also ensure that the hauler knows that he’ll be transporting fragile load and which cardboards have to be handled with care.

When it comes to furniture, it’s imperative to take everything out of them before the removal as well as ship all the things inside separately. Any unattached items in closets and cabinets can harm your furniture during shipment. Additionally it is smart to close all the furniture doors as well as drawers with some tape so that they won’t open during shipment. You may use ordinary Scotch tape for that. There is also a matter of loading the furniture into the transporting vehicle. Before trying to move your furniture out of the house, be certain that they will fit through the front doors, stairways and into the elevator (if your old apartment has one). If so, you can transport them without dismantling (make sure that you have at least one person to help you!). If they can’t, disassembling them is the sole method to ship them without harm. Be careful with dismantling – be sure to store all the pins and bolts in one place like in a Ziploc bag as well as that you’ve secured all the elements of the furniture properly. Disassembling furniture is also a good idea whenever you need to use the shipping car to the maximum, as dismantled furniture will take a lot less place.  

When securing minor things, such as books, tableware, cosmetics and much more, cardboards will be the smartest choice. I
