Removals to/from Switzerland – save up to 60%

Moving to a new house is among the most ordinary happenings we can come across in our life. And even though we change the place we live in averagely a few times before settling for good, removals are still among the most nerve-wracking situations possible. Just working out the organization of moving all your belongings from one place to another is a very large task and with packing, unpacking and choosing the right hauler to assist you with removal, it seems truly huge as well as very nerve-wracking. Fortunately there are couple of things you can do to make the move as efficient as possible as well as significantly less stressful.

Packing and securing your belongings for transportation

The most important tip you have to remember while preparing for the removal is that you should create a coherent list of steps that you will stick to through the whole process. It is good to make an inventory of every item you want to transport. Such a list will not only help you pack but also will allow you to make sure that all your belongings were safely shipped to its place of destination. Removal calls for shipping a big amount of stuff, among them a lot of small things that can be easily forgettable when packed in a hurry – a list will help you check if they all arrived to your new home safely. The next crucial step is tagging all the boxes as precisely as you are able to. One of the more common methods of tagging boxes is by category. For example all the kitchen accessories and devices go into boxes labelled ‘kitchen’, all the duvets and blankets in the cardboards labelled ‘bedroom’ etc. You’ll see 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 box, so that you (as well as the transport provider) will be able to recognize which cardboard goes where, no matter how they will be placed in the shipping car.

Be extra careful when preparing to transport fragile items. Enclose them in protective layers of textiles as well as bubble foil and tag them in an easily visible place (including a “This way up” label). You should also make sure that the transport provider knows that he’ll be transporting fragile load as well as which cardboards requires handling with caution.

When it comes to furniture, it’s imperative to take everything out of them before the removal and transport everything that was inside individually. Any unattached items inside closets and drawers can harm your furniture on the road. It’s also smart to close all the furniture doors and drawers using tape so that they cannot open during transportation. You may use regular Scotch tape to do that. There is also a matter of putting the furniture into the transporting car. Ahead of attempting to move your furniture from the house, make sure that they will fit via front doors, stairways or into the elevator (if your building has one). If so, you can transport them without disassembling (be sure to have at least one person to help you!). If they can’t, disassembling them is the sole way to move them without harm. Be cautious with dismantling – be sure to have all the nails and screws in one place for example in a Ziploc bag as well as that you’ve secured delicate elements of the furniture properly. Dismantling furniture is also convenient when you want to fill the shipping vehicle to the maximum, as disassembled furniture will take a lot less place.  

Whenever packing minor things, like books, tableware, decorations and so on, cardboards will be the most obvious choice. It’s very poss
