Plan your move and have an easy and smooth experience
We all go through at least a few moves in our lives. Whether it's moving away from home for the first time, expanding the family and needing more space in the home or traveling abroad for a period of time. There are many reasons for moving, but one thing remains the same: it involves packing up your belongings, moving day itself and unpacking everything again. It can quickly become a stressful experience, but if you take care of the practicalities, you'll be able to achieve an easy and smooth move.
Plan how the move will take place and decide on the day and time that suits you best. It's also important to have all the necessary moving materials ready. This includes both large and small moving boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper, plastic bags, tape rolls and tape guns. At Pelican, we offer professional moving services or you can rent our trailers for free.
You're always welcome to call us or just drop by your local storage center for a no-obligation chat. Get good advice and guidance on both storage unit rental and your move from our knowledgeable staff.
Tips for packing your belongings
Moving is something that takes longer than you think, and packing is easier said than done. That's why we've selected some valuable tips to make your move easier.
1. Make sure that everything you pack is clean and ready to use when you unpack it.
2. Categorize your moving boxes by writing which room they belong to. For example, you could have boxes that belong to the kitchen, living room, toilet, bedroom and children's room. This will make unpacking much easier when you get there.
3. Make sure you don't pack too heavy. Both the boxes and your back should be able to withstand the move without damage.
4. Use high-quality moving materials. This is both so that boxes and other items can withstand the weight they need to carry, and to protect your belongings as much as possible during long-term storage.
