Moving Tips for Everyone Released By Meldrum the Mover

Make sure that you are able to accept your goods when our movers arrive at the destination by ensuring that your new residence will be ready.

Do not mark every carton as fragile (something must be on the bottom).

Visit your mover's office and warehouse.

Do not use newspaper to package items that cannot be easily cleaned. The ink can transfer from the paper to the item.

On overseas moves, your car must be run dry before the container is closed. Do not gas up before turning over your car to us.

Keys and prescription drugs are items that you should store in a safe place where they cannot be packed or moved.

Cartons, when filled, should not weight more than 23 kgs or 50 lbs. Cartons should not be overfilled. The tops should close flat and nothing should stick out of them.

Keep a list of the contents of each carton through a numbering system and a notebook. It will make finding individual items easier.

Place "Not to be Moved" tags on any items that are not to be moved. Show these to the movers.

Plan the placement of your furniture in your new home. Make a floor plan, tape signs on rooms doors (e.g., Bedroom No. 2) so that the movers can place the furniture and cartons in the designated areas.
