Packing and Moving Tips
Moving Tips
Moving house is an important and potentially exciting event in your life. At Super Budget Movers, we
will do everything to make it a hassle-free experience, offering additional packing and storage services
and advice, whenever necessary. We hope that this list of Moving Tips we have compiled will help you
prepare for the move.
Prepare Ahead
When moving house, you will have to organize many things ahead of time. Make a list of the things you
have to do. Get plenty of packing material, think about the furniture and other belongings that you want
to move, and the items you need to leave behind. If you have small children, or pets, for example, you
will also have to organize care for them. Use Super Budget’s Moving Checklist to have an overview of
the things you need to take care of.
Moving Boxes
You may have already bought your new home, but to get the moving process going, it is essential to get
moving boxes and other packing material. You can choose from a wide range of quality boxes and
other packaging when you contact your nearest Super Budget office, or you may decide to
get hold of moving boxes from shops in your neighborhood for example.
Communicating With Your Moving Company
It is essential to choose a moving company that is willing to help you whenever you need advice, and
with whom you can communicate effectively. Establish the date of moving well ahead, do not be afraid
to discuss anything you need to know, and confirm the removal again a few days before the moving day
as well, to avoid any misunderstandings. At Super Budget Movers, we always aim to provide advice and
information our customers need, so do not hesitate to contact us.
Access for the Removal Van
Think about how the removal van can access your current and future home, advise your neighbors that
the van will be parking outside your house, and get any necessary permits.
Decide What to Take And What To Leave Behind
You will not necessarily want to take everything with you, especially if you are moving abroad. Make a
list of the things you are definitely taking with you – It is also useful to have an inventory when you are
unpacking, and it is a requirement at customs when you are moving abroad. Don’t just throw away the
items you are leaving behind. Ask your relatives and friends if they want anything, give the things to
charities, or organize a garage sale.
Think About Your New Home
Draw up a map of your new home. If it is considerably smaller than your current home for example, you
definitely need to leave some things behind. If you start packing based on how you are planning to
unpack in your new home, moving in will be much easier.
Packing Tips
You can either order a professional packing service from your removal company, which is highly
recommended if you are moving abroad, or if you have many fragile and valuable items, or you can
decide to pack yourself. If you will be packing yourself, you should start packing your items a few weeks
before the moving day, and go through everything systematically. Label moving boxes clearly, and pack
essential items only in the last few days. Don’t put too many or too few items into one box.
Do Not Pack Personal Documents, Jewellery and Money
You might need these items during the removal, or while they are in storage. Don’t pack items that you
will need right after you move in, or always keep track of where you are putting them.
Research the Area Where You Are Moving
If you are moving to other country, it is very important to get to know as much about the new country
as you can, before moving there. This way, the transition will hopefully not be stressful for you and your
family. Even if you are moving within the UAE, it is advisable to get to know as much about the new area
and the neighborhood as you can.
Be Present on the Moving Day
To ensure that everything goes as planned with the removal team, it is important to be present on the
moving day.
Check Your Old Home Once More
Check that you have not left any items behind. Also turn off gas, electricity and close all the windows. To
know about more about this please contact our Surveyor.
