Removals to/from Spain – save up to 60%

Moving to a new house is one of the most common happenings we can experience in our life. And even though we move at least a few times in our lifetime, removals are still among the most trying happenings that can happen to us. Just working out the logistics of shipping everything you have from one place to another is an enormous job and with packing, unpacking and selecting the right hauler to assist you with removal, it seems really huge and very stressful. Luckily there are couple of things you can do to make the move as simple as possible as well as significantly less stressful.

Packing as well as securing your belongings for the time of the removal

One crucial tip you need to remember while packing is that you need a coherent plan that you will stick to during the move. It is good to make a list of every item you want to ship. It can not only help you pack but also will allow you to check if all of your things were safely transported to its place of destination. Removal entails shipping a big amount of various items, among them a big amount of little items that are easily misplaced under the pressure of time – a list will help you check if they all arrived to your new home safely. The next important step is tagging all the cardboards as precisely as you are able to. One of the most common methods of labelling boxes is by the room name. For example all the kitchen supplies as well as devices should be placed into cardboards labelled ‘kitchen’, all the pillows and personal items in the cardboards labelled ‘bedroom’ etc. You’ll quickly find out how time-saving tagging can be once you get to the unpacking part. Remember to label both sides and the top of the cardboard, so that you (and the transport provider) can be sure which cardboard goes where, regardless of how they will be placed inside the shipping vehicle.

Be extra careful with delicate items. Enclose them in protective layers of textiles or bubble wrap as well as tag them clearly (including a “This way up” label). You also need to ensure that the transport provider knows that he’ll be transporting delicate goods and which boxes have to be handled with caution.

When you want to transport furniture, it’s crucial to empty them before the removal as well as ship everything that was inside separately. Any unattached items inside cupboards and drawers could damage your furniture on the road. It’s also smart to close all the furniture doors as well as drawers using tape so that they cannot open on the road. You can use regular Scotch tape for that. Another issue is the matter of loading the furniture inside the transporting car. Ahead of attempting to move your furniture from the house, be certain that they will fit through the front doors, stairways or into the elevator (if your building has one). If they do, you’ll be able to move them without disassembling (find at least one person to help you!). If they can’t, disassembling them is the only method to transport them safely. Be cautious with dismantling – be sure to store all the pins as well as screws in one place for example in a Ziploc bag and that you’ve secured delicate parts of the furniture sufficiently. Disassembling furniture is also convenient when you want to fill the shipping vehicle to the maximum, because dismantled furniture will be much easier to stack efficiently.  

Whenever packing minor items, like books, tableware, decorations etc., boxes will be the smartest choice. It’s probable that you won’t have enough boxes to fit all your belongings – but there is a few methods
