Prepare your boxes before the move
The principle of participatory moving is that you participate in the move while benefiting from the supervision and skills of professional movers in Fujairah. However, the preparation of the boxes is your responsibility (I thought I could cut it!). The reason is simple: if the movers pack your boxes, it is no longer a participatory move, but a classic move! You have an option "Packing/unpacking fragile and non-fragile objects" if you wish.
Packing boxes takes a long time, and Movers Packers Dubai's service only lasts one or two days depending on the distance to be covered to move you ... Your boxes must therefore be ready to collect to meet this deadline. This is also what allows us to offer you an advantageous rate: don't forget that the more you participate, the more you save.
However, nothing prevents you from asking your friends for help to pack your boxes before the move and to pack your last things on the big day. This is also a participatory move!
What to do with fragile objects?
The other aspect of Movers Packers Dubai's service is to help you move safely through the use of professional equipment (covers, blankets, straps, etc.), advice to avoid injury, and if you want it… the packaging of your fragile items.
If you choose to add the "Fragile items" option to your moving quote, the mover will pack these items himself and unpack them at the destination. It is the guarantee of professional know-how to wrap and protect your crystal trinkets or the awful porcelain service from breakage! The other boxes will remain in your care. Without this option, you will have to pack your fragile items yourself.
Our advice for preparing your moving boxes
- Preparing your boxes well is easy as long as you get organized a bit. Here are some tips to make your boxes like a pro (or almost):
- Start your boxes 6 to 8 weeks before the move. This time is to be adjusted according to the size of your accommodation. Take the opportunity to sort it out!
- Make a checklist of boxes to prepare and set a deadline.
- Pack everything that will not be used before the move: books, dishes… Say goodbye to the down jacket and boots if you move in August!
- Choose cardboard boxes of various sizes (large for clothes, small for books, etc.). Also think about specific boxes, such as barrels for dishes. Don't forget their friends scotch tape and bubble wrap or crumpled newspaper to wrap and protect everything.
Note: Are you looking for free boxes? Ask the merchants in your neighborhood. Pharmacy, florist, supermarket… Just ask nicely!
Do not overfill your boxes: distribute the loads to spare your back and facilitate transport.
Indicate on your boxes their destination piece, number them or use a color code with stickers (the famous stickers!). These will be very popular with children and will make them want to prepare their boxes themselves.
Leave your boxes open until the last moment, it will be easier to add a forgotten object. Also, plan a box for your last personal effects.
