Brisbane Removal Boxes-Packing Boxes-Moving Boxes

Ordering your Brisbane Removal Boxes-Packing Boxes- Moving Boxes ahead of time is just one of the steps in preparing for your move.  Here are some more:

Check items that need disconnecting or even disassembling before they can be moved.  Classic examples are defrosting and emptying your fridge the day before the move, disassembling large gyms or children’s swings, emptying water beds, etc.  Some items are easily forgotten, such as a satellite dish on your roof – the removals company are not going to get it off your roof, so you need to, or arrange for it be done.

Also, some things can not be moved, such as petrol, paints, solvents – you need to dispose of these safely ahead of your move.  Remember to empty the tanks of things like petrol mowers, outboard motors, etc.

Then there are the things you need to carry in your car – medication you need to take regularly, important documents like passports, and valuable jewelry.  Ideally, you should also backup your computer and carry the backups with you, just in case.

If you went with a removalist wouldn’t hurt to take inventory of the things you had them move. Quick way is count the number of Moving Boxes they have on their truck and your other items.

If they damage anything make sure you take photo’s for your insurance. Before you move it. Don’t sign anything till you read the fine print.

The above are just a few of the pre-move issues to consider; below is a video, courtesy of Vicky Norris Organizer that is the most comprehensive we could find on pre-move tasks.

Brisbane Moving Supplies-Packing Supplies-Relocation Tips

 

Here are some tips to do before you start your move. There will be more under the Moving Tips and Packing Tips.

 

  • Write a list of what you would like to do and what you need to do . To help your move go smoothly
  • Decided on the move date. Set a goal to when you want to start packing and when you want or need to finish by
  • Check with the everyone involved from the Real Estate Agents from the house you are moving out of the the one you are moving into. Also anyone who is helping you move that day to make sure they are right with that day.
  •  Also check with your current Real Estate Agent to see if there is anything else they need you to do before you move out . So you have a list of what needs to be done.
  • Get quotes on your move if you need a removalist or a container to move. Or even if you book a truck for the day.
  • Decide on how you are going to move your belongs. Do you need a Removalist . Can you do it yourself or do you need your items in Storage.
  • Check the weather guide for the moving date if you can . Also if moving a long distance what the weather will be like when you move . So you have a idea of what to keep out. Re clothing ect. Also do this a week before you move.
  • If you are moving pets . Decide on how you are going to move them. If you get a professional to do it . You might need to contact them and the vet for any needles they may need prior to the move.
  • If moving overseas. Make sure your Passport and Visa and any vaccination you or your family may need are up to date.
  •  Start to get your Packing Items. Moving Boxes , Packing Boxes. Or anything else you may need to start your Packing. Well in advance. This way you can do it in your own time and have plenty of time to arrange other thing that need doing. Maybe de-cluttering . Getting rid of the items you no longer need instead of packing them in a box and wasting space in the truck and having to deal with it at the other end.
  • Get quotes on your move if you need a Removalist or a Container to move. Or even if you book a Truck
  • If you are going to use a Removalist. Try and book them for as early in the morning as you can get. If you leave it to the afternoon. They maybe held up on other jobs they had earlier. This could set you back by hours. Same with trunk rentals . So book these well in advance.
  • Get your mail redirected either by Australia Post or contact everyone yourself with your new address
  •  Book a Cleaner or any Tradesman you need to clean and fix your house up before you move. Or give yourself plenty of time to clean yourself.
  •  Cancel any services you use. Maybe you get a gardener in . Someone that cleans your pool or house. Or any other service you use.
  •  While you are packing work out what you are going to take with you and what you will give away. Throw out. or maybe have a garage sale.
  • Check with everyone from time to time who is helping you move that they are right on the day.
  • Organise with your utilities the disconnection of your home and the reconnection of your new home.
  • If you have children that are moving to a new school. Make sure they are enrolled in the new school and try to visit the school before they start.
  • Book any accommodation or transport you may need to get to your new home.
  • Once your house is packed up or just about finished. Check with the Real Estate to make sure the house you are moving out of is fine and you don’t need to do anything else.

Brisbane Packing Boxes – Top Tips For Packing

Brisbane Packing Boxes – Top Tips For Brisbane Removals

Here is a video concentrating on packing kitchen items, followed by general packing tips from BoxEmup.

.

Video courtesy of http://www.youtube.com/user/ExpertRealEstateTips

.

  • BoxEmUp can supply large double cardboard packing boxes for your heavier items.  Remember not to fill the removal boxes totally with heavy items, nor should you put all your books into one big packing box.  Crossover the packing tape on the bottom of the removals box to give it extra support for the move.
  • Place folded up butchers paper and/or newspaper along the bottom and the sides of the removals box. You don’t need to go to the top, to the first layer is fine.  If you do not want to get newspaper ink rubbing off on your goods, we suggest using butchers paper for wrapping; newspaper tends to mark.
  • Carefully wrap all of your plates, glasses and other fragile items separately. Place your plates sideways and wrap in lots of three to four with 2 sheet of butchers paper between each plate. As they are much stronger and better support for your items on top. Cushion with sheets of butchers paper / tissue paper for each item. Place a folded-up towel on top of the packing box to add further support – someone may place removal boxes on top.

Packing boxes for sale in Brisbane - Archive box

  • Pack your glasses standing upright in your moving box . Wrap them in butchers paper as this will save washing up later on.
  • Plan what to put in each removals box, heavy items should be at the bottom.  Place paper in gaps where possible, so they are less likely to shift during moving.  Pack as tightly as possible.
  • Be careful not to make the removals box too heavy to move, as this will only take up time and you could cause a injury to yourself or someone who is moving the packing box.
  • When you are done the removals box, put newspaper / butchers paper on top,  then tape the packing box up. Mark each box for the room it is meant to go to, and also the contents.
  • It is a good idea to use bubble wrap to protect your pictures and/or TV and computer screen, saving on scratches; also any other breakable items you may put in the removals box.  Leave a small gap at the top of the packing box for paper or towels, so that items are less likely to be broken.

Packing Boxes For Sale in Brisbane

  • When writing on the Moving Boxes – Packing Boxes . You are better off writing on the packing  tape after you tape the cardboard box up. This will help with the re sale of the boxes. When you go to unpack the Moving Boxes – Packing Boxes . Cut the tape rather then ripping the tape off the cardboard box.
  • If you bed is pulled apart on the day of your move. Remove your bedding and place in one of the empty Moving Boxes-Packing Boxes. You will want clean linen in your new home . So fill your second Packing Box with the clean linen . Or if you are using the Zip Carry Storage Bag. That way when you get to your new home you can put your bed together and sleep in it that night with out any hassles in finding clean linen. You could also pack a towel and your toiletries . As well as your night ware with your clean sheets as well. As after a hard day moving you can have a shower and know where everything is without any problems.
  • You might want to tape the screws and the tool you used for the bed to the bedhead. Or you can pack in the same box as your clean linen etc. That way you have all the things you need for you bed in one box. Mark it clearly. So you will be able to find it when you want to put your bed together.
  • When picking up a packing box, make sure to bend your knees; don’t use your back to pick it up, rather use your legs. This will help save your back from any injury that could happen from incorrectly lifting a removals carton.
  • If you have a large house or moving to a multistory house or another large house . You can use different coloured paper on your Moving Boxes for the different levels or rooms . That way your boxes can be placed in the rooms that they need to go in. You shouldn’t have to go and find them. For a multistory house. Place for each level eg. floor 1 Red , floor 2 Blue, floor 3 yellow. On the coloured paper mark which room the box will go in. That way your removalist or the people helping you unload the truck know where to go with the box they have. Same with the furniture. Clearly have each one marked where they need to go. This will save you time and energy in moving the boxes from room to room when unpacking. You could do the same for a large 1 story house with a lot of rooms. Mark each room a colour and the packing boxes that need to go into that room the same colour.
  • Write a inventory of the things in each box and how many boxes you have. Have a few copies of this just in case one gets lost. Just has to be a short description. That way if you need to find something in a hurry before you have it unpacked you know which packing box it is in.
  • Defrost your fridge the day before.   Put all your cold items in a esky, with ice.  Ensure your fridge/freezer is free of water that could be left around after defrosting. This will save damage to your carpets, or spills on the floor that could cause a slip.
  • Pantry.  Make sure your containers are sealed, to prevent spillage.  Glassware and bottles should be wrapped separately. Some pantry items can go on the top of your large packing box that you used for your kitchen items. Ensure you do not pack the box too heavily, or use a medium packing box.
  • Books. Do not pack too many large/heavy books in the same removals box;  this makes the packing box too heavy to lift safely.
  • Bedroom. Pack sheets, towels, toiletries and clothing for the next day – the ones you are going to use once you are in your new house – to one side. That way you will be able to find them easy.
  • Plants – Ensure there is no excess water that could spill during the move.
  • With all your little items that are in draws . You can either pack these in a shoe box or use zip lock bags. Zip lock bags are great for pens . If they leak you won’t have pen going through on to your already packed items.
  • Make sure Pets are taken care when you move – this is a stressful time for them too.  Ideally, they should travel with you.
  • Also find a sitter for your children. That way they will be in a safe environment and from under your feet. So you can concentrate on the job at hand. Give them a overnight bag so it won’t be packed by accident.
  • Plan out your day.  If you are moving everything in one trip,  you should try to have the packing completed the day before the move.  Make sure you contact Box Em Up early; we have all sorts of packing boxes for sale for your moving supplies Brisbane.
  • When loading the truck with your Moving Boxes. Try and keep all Packing boxes from each room together. Load onto the truck that way. It will make it easier to unload at the other end and put into each room.
  • Check the Brisbane weather guide so you have an idea what the weather will be like for moving day. If it’s going to be hot, have plenty of cold water on hand for you and others helping you.  If it is raining, wear good, closed, shoes so you do not slip and hurt yourself or alternatively break any items you may have in the packing box you are are carrying.
  • Ensure you have a break for lunch when you can, so you have enough energy to complete your move.
  • Make sure you leave any keys and the remote for the garage door behind. Put these in a safe place so they won’t be packed or taken with you by accident

Proudly Supporting the Following

Special News:

In Nov, Dec & Jan we donated 10% of our profits to help two very special kids and their families with the cost of raising Christian and Bella. Details below about these wonderful kids.

After meeting and talking to Christian mum Sarah. I have learnt that Christian needs a wheelchair . He has grown out of the pram they currently use. Because he can walk he is not qualified to receive one from the government department . They can not use their super. Without it, this makes it hard for the family to all go out together. As Christian gets tired and can run off at anytime. Without suitable transportation it puts him at risk of danger as well as the rest of the family. In turn I have offered to help in raising funds in getting a wheelchair, full body harness to hold him in and anything else they may need to go with it. Cost would be around $6000.00. If you can please help in anyway. Please contact Sarah Carter Murray ( details below) . You can make a direct donation and receive a tax invoice from Christian Gift.

So for every moving boxes for Brisbane and packing items we sell. A portion of the sale will go to help Christian get his wheelchair.

Thank you for taking the time in reading this and if you can help in anyway I am sure it will help Christian live a better life.

Cheers Roxann Coffey

Thank you Roxann Coffey . BOX EM UP.

While there are many children and families in the world that need help . I wish I could help them all. There are people in our own city that need a little help as well. I found these two families on facebook. Having children of my own and just the daily cost of living can be hard. These families need a little more help. As they try and bring their children up as best as they can with developmental disabilities . With lack of funds through our Health Systems and Government. I have decided to donate 5% of our profits for November December and January and any extra donations we come across to help out a little. As every little bit helps. In turn I hope it will help bring attention to other families who are in the same situation. One day it could be someone you know or love. Please help me in making life a little easier for Bella and Christian and their families. Even if you don’t buy anything through BOX EM UP or make a donation . The links will be below so you can make a donation to the families yourself . Or even just pop into their sites and say hello and give them a kind word of encouragement.

If you require a Tax Receipt to make a tax claim. Please contact the following families and make a donation directly as I won’t be able to give you one.

 

Here is a little story of Annabelle and Christian with the links to their websites with more details.

Bella Story

My name is Annabelle Susan Maguire I am 5 years old, you can call me Bella. I have a very rare Chromosomal abnormality called 16q24.3 Deletion Syndrome.
I spend the first five weeks of my life in the intensive care unit at the Royal Women’s hospital in Brisbane. I was not able to breast feed or drink milk from a bottle and I was very floppy. I was then sent home with Mum to work things out. However things do not always work out. I spent nearly the next 18 months in hospital with multiple and complicated medical issues. My development was delayed and I was fed via a tube in my nose. The doctors then decided that a more permanent feeding device was need, so a tube was surgically put into my tummy when I was only five months old. I received all my hydration and nutrition via this tube.

The past 12 months I have been given the opportunity to have the best support and therapies a child with special needs requires. I still need lots of therapy and aids to support me and help me reach my full potential. Thanks to my friends, family, the community and business sponsorship I have made the most amazing progress. This has only been possible due to the generosity of donations.

Every Wednesday I attend Conductive Education Queensland which costs $75.00 per visit. My Occupational Therapist comes to my home fortnightly and this costs $150.00 per visit. As well as fortnightly visits to my Physiotherapist $70.00 and Speech Therapist $85.00. I not only have the high cost of therapy, I also need aids and equipment so I can learn at home. Mum and Dad from time to time need respite, and a break from the busy schedule that we have. This year I hope to join The Girl Guides and have a support worker come along!

Christian Story

Christian was born with an extremely rare Genetic Syndrome called Interstitial Duplication of Chromosome 15 ql11-ql15. Sometimes called Idic 15. At 6 weeks of age Christian also developed Encephalitis- An infection in the brain. It was a miracle that he survived. The infection left him with some damage to his brain. He has a diagnosis of the Genetic syndrome, Autistic disorder and an Intellectual Impairment.He lay with his arms down by his side for the first 7 months of life and made no noise at all under the age of 12 months – not even a cry! With intensive therapy he is now up and running- literally.In fact he can’t stop- he is Hyperactive in the extreme. So for one very cute little boy he has more than his fair share of challenges.
Christian cannot speak, he is completely unable to understand language/ He is profoundly affected by his disability. As are we- his family.
