Moving Tips for Your International Removals
with Alexander James International Removals

Good preparation

Don't need to leave everything to the day before the move. Consider what you don't need to take with you, what will need careful packing. It is always a good idea to take the opportunity to get rid of all those old items that are just taking up space.

• Make a priority packing list
• Calculate how many boxes you will need and get these well in advance. Find boxes in a variety of sizes. Think about what else will be useful, such as strong tape, bubble wrap, and self-seal bags for keeping nuts and bolts together. Save old newspapers for lining boxes.
• Make sure that all your boxes are clearly marked to avoid repeated lifting in your new house
• Use sturdy packing boxes, particularly for heavier items, or your belongings may end up strewn all over the pavement. Boxes made from corrugated cardboard are stronger than regular ones.
