Choose the right truck
First and foremost, choose the right truck size to match your specific needs.
Choosing a truck that fits your belongings snugly without much empty space means you are not paying for unused volume.
2 . Declutter before you pack
Start your packing process by decluttering, and getting rid of items you no longer need or use.
Sell, donate, or dispose of these items, because fewer belongings mean less volume, which translates to needing a smaller truck and fewer boxes.
3 . Use vacuum seal bags
For bulky items like bedding, curtains, and winter clothes, use vacuum seal bags.
These bags can reduce the volume of these items significantly, allowing you to pack more into smaller spaces.
4 . Disassemble large items
Furniture takes up a lot of space, and while it can be tempting to just load everything into the truck, disassembling items such as desk, bed frames and shelving unita means you can pack and stack them more efficiently.
This is not only saves space but aslo makes these large items easier to transport.
Do not worry at SFN Movers we've got you, we have all the tools necessary to disassemble and assemble your furniture with care and free of charge for this service.
5 . Use all available space
When we loading the moving truck, we use all available space - this includes hoolow spaces.
We store items inside washing machines, refrigerators and shelving units, ensuring these are well-wrapped or contained to prevent shifting during the move.
6 . Choose the right boxes
We recommend you to use the boxes that can be easly stack together. Sturdy, uniformly sized boxes can be stacked tightly and high, maximising vertical space in the moving truck.
7 . Utilise original boxes for electronics
If possible, pack electronics in their original boxes, as these boxes are designed to hold the item perfectly, often allowing you to stack other things on top without damaging the electronics.
8 . Label everything
labeling might not seem like a space-saving technique, but by knowing the content of each box, you can better decide how to stack them.
Plus, it saves a lot of time during unpacking, preventing you from having to move boxes around multiple times.
9 . Change of address checklist
