Removals to/from Norway – save up to 60%

Moving to a new apartment is one of the most ordinary situations we can experience in our life. And even though we move averagely a few times before settling for good, removals are still some of the most trying situations that can happen to us. Just working out the organization of transporting all your belongings from one place to another is a very large task and with packing, unpacking and choosing the best transport provider to assist you with removal, it becomes really huge as well as quite nerve-wracking. Fortunately there are couple of things you can do to make the move as efficient as can be as well as considerably less stressful.

Packing and securing your belongings for shipment

The most important thing you have to remember while packing is that you need a coherent list of steps that you’ll have to abide by through the whole process. It is good to create an inventory of every item you want to ship. It can not only make the packing easier but also will allow you to check if all your belongings were safely transported to your new home. Removal calls for shipping a great deal of various items, among them a big amount of little items that can be easily forgettable under the pressure of time – an inventory will ensure that you will remember to make sure they all arrived to your new home safely. Another important step is tagging all the boxes as clearly as you are able to. One of the more helpful ways of labelling boxes is by category. For example all the kitchen accessories as well as appliances should be placed into cardboards tagged ‘kitchen’, all the duvets and blankets in the box labelled ‘bedroom’ etc. You’ll quickly find out how much time labelling can save once you get to the unpacking part. Remember to label both sides and the top of the box, so that you (and the transport provider) can be sure which cardboard goes where, regardless of how they will be placed inside the transporting car.

Take special care when preparing to transport fragile things. Wrap them in protective layers of textiles as well as bubble wrap and tag them in an easily visible place (together with a “This way up” label). You also need to make sure that the hauler is aware that he’ll be transporting fragile goods as well as which boxes have to be handled with care.

When it comes to furniture, it’s crucial to take everything out of them before the removal and transport all the things inside separately. Any unattached things inside cupboards and cabinets can damage your furniture during shipment. It’s also good to close all the furniture doors as well as drawers using tape to make sure they won’t open during transportation. You can use regular Scotch tape to do that. Another issue is the matter of loading the furniture into the shipping vehicle. Ahead of attempting to move your furniture from the apartment, be certain that you’ll be able to transport them via front doors, stairways and into the elevator (if your old apartment has one). If so, you can move them without dismantling (be sure to have at least 1 person to assist you!). If they cannot, disassembling them is the sole method to transport them without harm. Be cautious with dismantling – be sure to store all the nails as well as screws in one place like in a Ziploc bag as well as that you’ve secured all the parts of the furniture sufficiently. Disassembling furniture is also smart whenever you want to use the shipping car to the maximum, as dismantled furniture will be much easier to stack efficiently.
