Nobody likes unnecessary expense. However investing in proper removal packaging is so important if you want your property to arrive in good shape. It is much easier to load and unload transport when your property is tidily packaged. Not only that, but you will get much more into a van. You need to protect your property from being dropped, from the weather and from being lost in transit.

1) be organised and tidy

2) obtain proper double walled cartons which can withstand stacking and transit

3) do not overfill, ensure you can close them flat and square

4) individually wrap all breakables - give your finished box a gentle shake if you hear the contents rattle consider re-wrapping them

5) box up everything which you possibly can. some things such as guitars, golf clubs, computer desks cannot be boxed. keep them to a minimum and...

6) Use a sticker or permanent marker to write your delivery address and phone number on each item.

7) Especially when in storage, or entrusted to a 3rd party, count the total number of items- eg 15 boxes, 2 bags,1 desk,1 surf-board =19 items and mark each of them"1 of 19" up to "19 of 19". Then when you are re-united with your property you can easily verify that it is all there.
