Though much has changed since past centuries, the essence of human nature has remained the same. It doesn’t take long before we spot the differences between us and people inhabiting empires long gone, starting from the lifestyles we lead, to the choices we have regarding food, clothing and entertainment, and yet the quest for better living conditions has remained the same. We don’t undertake great migrations as they once did, but we still move out in search of higher income, more suitable jobs and changes of scenery. Our great ancestors didn’t have the perks of technology to rely on, nor the means of transportation, however we can envy them for the fewer possessions they had which simplified the whole moving process. In this regard, it makes sense what minimalists mean by “less is more” – the less objects you have, the less hassle you get.
Moving is a big step, a life-changing experience if you will, and it requires proper planning if you want to make it less stressful. The decision you make regarding getting the help of removalists is important, but even if you don’t wish to get the full package of their services, such as having packing, transportation and unpacking, you can still get the assistance in certain aspects, for instance with the adequate supplies. When undertaking the move and doing the packing moving supplies you choose are going to either make or break your whole experience as they are the most important bits of the whole process. Most often, accidents happen exactly because of improper packing and inadequate supplies that result in breakages during the transport itself, so how and what you place your valuables in makes all the difference.
Though you might think you have the right boxes or tapes at hand, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble and headaches seeking the expertise of specialised moving companies when choosing from all the packing moving supplies they have to offer as they are designed for specific objects and purposes. You have the option of choosing cardboard or plastic boxes, all depending on your belongings. Make sure there is less space in a box once an object is packed, add in extra paper, and wrap every object individually in paper as well as shrink and bubble wrap (it’s not just for having fun popping bubbles you know!) for better protection. Blankets and covers are ideal for large objects.
Organisation is key and will save you a lot of time if you make lists of all the objects you wish to move, along with marking every box with the right markers and labels. If you don’t get the experts’ help with all the lifting, be prepared for using some more muscle. Beware of cables around the floor and learn a few moves on how to lift easier as they can save you from injuries. Friends in need are friends indeed, so don’t shy away from asking friends and relatives to give you a helping hand. Besides, you’d get to hang out and have fun throughout the moving.
