Greetings again and welcome back to more tips when creating your move planner. We last talked about contacting your gas and electricity suppliers and a point to make is to provide accurate meter readings on the day you leave your property so that you don’t have excessive bills to worry about. One of the biggest mistakes we make when moving is letting your family and friends know that you are moving away.

Send your change of address details to those within your personal directory to ensure you don’t lose contact with your friends and relatives. If you receive a newspaper or magazine subscription, milk and dairy products delivered to your door, make sure to cancel your account or have it changed to be delivered to your new address.

Remember to contact your insurance companies, such as car insurance and buildings/content insurance to be transferred over to your new property. Let your boss or employer know in addition to your local National Insurance or DSS office so that they can update your records.

Redirecting your mail is an easy process and can be used to buy you some time whilst you inform all the necessary individual parties that you have moved home. Don’t forget to change your telephone number or have it transferred if possible to your new home. Check back for more tips and advice over the next few weeks!

Not to put a too finer point on it but when you are preparing to move home and are arranging your belongings ready to pack away, consider the following. First off you really need to ensure that you have enough cardboard boxes to sufficiently pack all your items and belongings. They really need to be strong and reliable, just as the packing boxes from MAD4BOXES are manufactured.

When packing your sturdy boxes try and consider weight distribution across all boxes, not just filling one with heavy items such as CD’s or books and others with pillows and cushions for example but spreading the weight evenly between your cardboard moving boxes. This is to ensure that you don’t injure yourself or make it difficult for the removal company moving your items.

If moving yourself, plan to dismantle large furniture such as wardrobes and beds in advance so that you are ready on the day. If using a removal company, many request you to do this beforehand. For small items such as ornaments and picture frames, use bubble wrap and foam to protect any breakables whilst in transit.

If you choose to, you can buy complete packs from MAD4BOXES to adequately provide suitable protection. Again for any electrical equipment such as hifi and other audio visual equipment, use bubble wrap and foam to minimise any chance of damage when in transit.

Whatever item you are packing when moving home, MAD4BOXES has the solution for you, offering great savings on all our moving boxes and multi packs.

Well you may be surprised. If you truly cherish your items and are moving valuables over quite a distance, the last thing you need is for your average cardboard box failing on you, leaving your possessions looking far worse for wear.
