Packing and Storage Tips when Moving Home in Saudi Arabia

Here are a few useful packing and storage tips to help you prepare for your move:

Packing is undoubtedly the most stressful and arduous part of moving. Whether wrapping delicate antique units or oversized furniture, it requires care and effort on your part to do it right. In the process, you need to work out a system to eliminate the unwanted and carry along only the necessary stuff. If space is a constraint when moving, you can consider housing some of your boxes in a storage unit owned by the moving company.

Plan wisely : Plan the packing of each of your rooms one at a time. Segregate what you need to carry along for immediate use and the items that can be temporally stored in a storage facility. After you have finished packing, store all the sealed boxes in one room so that you can keep a count and coordinate the moving out of each box

Declutter : Moving home is a perfect time to check your stuff and discard things no longer serving you. Dig into your cupboard and shelves and assess the items to be packed, stored or disposed. Whatever has a resale value like furniture can be sold to gain some cash at hand. 

Packing materials : Gather all packing supplies beforehand to avoid last minute runs to the stores. The most common supplies you require are cardboard boxes, cello tape, bubble wrap, thermocol fillers, color markers, labels and a pair of scissors. 

Dismantle Furniture: Heavy furniture such as cupboards, beds, tables and electronics like TV, PC can be disassembled and fit into custom sized boxes. 

Packing process : Each of your fragile items must be individually wrapped and placed in a box layered with sheets of paper. Place the heavier items at the bottom of the box, and lighter items on the top. Fill in gaps with papers, bubble wraps and towels to tightly pack and balance your stuff. 

Collect all your important documents (certificates and identity proof) in a file and keep them in your suitcase that is to be carried along with you.

Hire A Storage Unit :  If you are downsizing or renovating your home, you can house some of your stuff such as seasonal wear, décor items and unused equipment, in racked storage facilities. These temperature-controlled warehouses fitted with modern amenities guarantee the security and safety of your items until you need them next.
