PACKING

Helpful Tips to Ensure Damage Free Packing

The use of Packing accessories such as Cartons, Porta Robes, Paper, Tape, Bubble-wrap and Plastic covers will maintain and protect your goods whilst in transit and storage. All of your packing materials and accessories are available for purchase at our NSW head office, at Berkeley Vale. Please contact us to arrange delivery or collection.

packing cartons

GENERAL


Fill cartons to capacity only, partially full or bulging cartons may cause the carton to tip or collapse as they are stacked. Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small cartons so they are easy to handle. Books should be packed flat, not on their spines. Packing and labelling cartons room by room makes the unpacking much easier, and if you need to find something in storage you will have some idea of which carton to begin looking in.


APPLIANCES


Fridges, freezers and other white goods should be thoroughly defrosted, dry and clean before storing. Whilst in storage the door should be secured slightly ajar.
A deodoriser placed inside fridges or freezers is also a good idea to maintain freshness. Don't place items inside fridges or freezers as the shelves and linings can be easily marked and damaged.


FURNITURE


Empty the contents of wardrobes, drawers and cupboards to protect the shelving and structure of these items. Clothing should be packed where possible into purpose made PORT-A-ROBES, and personal goods should be packed in strong secure cartons.
Where possible remove the legs from items of furniture e.g.. bed bases, tables etc. to avoid damage and save space. Vacuum food crumbs from lounges to prevent attracting vermin.


DISHES, GLASSWARE & CERAMICS


Place a layer of crushed paper inside the bottom and top of cartons containing breakables. Protect fragile items by wrapping them individually in packing paper (newsprint can be very messy and possibly stain). Nest cups and bowls, stand plates, saucers, platters, casseroles on their edges. Fill any gaps in the cartons with packing e.g.: scrunched paper or linen. This will keep your fragile items well protected and prevent them from moving around in the cartons whilst in transit. Label all cartons containing fragile items and avoid storing heavy items on the top of these cartons. Please refer to our storage reference diagram below.


MIRRORS & PAINTINGS

These items should be protected by packing material e.g.; bubble-wrap or in a flat-pack carton. Store them standing on their edges in an upright position (not lying flat).

STEREOS, TELEVISIONS AND VIDEOS

Your electrical equipment is very delicate and sensitive and should be handled with care. These items will never travel better than in original boxes. However wrapping items individually in bubble-wrap, packing them in cartons, and sealing the top will offer adequate protection for your electrical items to ensure that they are maintained in perfect working order. Remember to pack out any gaps in the cartons.

BATTERY OPERATED APPLIANCES & TOYS

We recommend that you remove the batteries to avoid damage from leaking Batteries.

COMPUTERS

Computers, like your other electrical items, need special care. The original boxes are highly recommended for packing. However bubble-wrap and good quality packing cartons will do the job. Remember to use some packing or linen in the bottom and top of cartons. This provides extra protection to the contents. Pack out any gaps. If you are unsure about your computer, refer to the manufacturer's manual, or consult your retailer, especially if storing for longer than six months.
Some printers and most scanners can have a locking switch and this should be placed into the lock position to ensure maximum protection in transit.

MOWERS & OTHER MACHINERY

Drain fuel and oil from all machinery. This reduces the risk of leakage, spillage and damage to other goods in your space. Petrol and oil left in machinery are also a fire hazard.

This is only a very broad overview of methods of packing your possessions for safe transit, if any questions arise for which the answers are not clear, it is better to be safe than sorry. We are more than welcoming when it comes to friendly advice.

TESTIMONALS


When you said to me at the time of booking, you will send your "best removalists" because of the large size move (two homes) and the distance to move (interstate) I thought this may have been a "sales ploy"! Boy, was I wrong, you did send the best.

I have moved eight times over the years and twice before interstate and never has it been so stress-free. Your team were professional, understanding, courteous, careful and most of all a pleasure to be around. Simon and Rob were there for us every step of the way on removal day, not a single complaint from them and always going the extra mile. Every item that was not securely packed into a box was carefully wrapped in a blanket and then taped to make sure the blanket did not move. Rob even took the time to wrap two pottery outside buddas and an old stone bulldog that was my father's. At the time of wrapping Rob did not know my father had recently passed away and this bulldog meant a great deal to me, it just showed how professional your team are.

I will not hesitate to recommend your business to anyone in the future, I will say if you want a professional, stress-free and friendly move contact Ken at LONG JETTY REMOVALS,
THEY ARE THE BEST!
Many thanks

I thought I should let you know how happy my wife and I were last week when Glen and Frank moved us from our acreage at Wamberal to South Kincumber. As I mentioned they had a difficult job moving a 5 bedroom/ 3 lounge room home into temporary smaller premises with terrible steep access. The two guys were a pleasure to deal with and treated our belonging as if it were their own.

They both worked tirelessly from 7am until 6pm with only stopping for a cool drinks.
I have run my own business for over 27 years and know that it is staff like these that keep businesses going.
Since the move we have secured a new property in Green Point and once we know the settlement date I will be calling to book in Glen and Frank to do it all over again.
Once again many thanks.

I would like to thank you and your 3 Men that moved us from our Central Coast storage unit down to Sydney.
They were very professional and very careful not to mark our furniture or our freshly painted walls.
What seemed to my Husband and I as a very quick and easy job, we know that your Men worked hard with all of the appropriate care taken.
All of our possessions are now placed with no damage to mention – Other than the things my Husband broke while unpacking boxes.Also I would like to make a strong mention that Karen was an absolute pleasure to deal with, thank you Karen.
So we thank you for your services and will recommend your Business to those we know who require a Removalist.
Kindest Regards,Mojca & Scott Hennessy
