It is also important to think about what, and how you pack certain items. For example, Betty packs her kitchen utensils, including her favorite knife. When packing for her move Betty places all her utensils in a flimsy cardboard box, while also putting one strip of thin tape over the box. As the removalist vehicle moves her goods the vehicle hits a bump causing the knife to go through the cardboard, straight into Betty's antique couch! Oh no.
Rest assured, all of our drivers take care when loading goods, to avoid the likliehood of damages. However it is still important to ensure you take certain measures when packing for your move:
