Your Guide to packing
Remember to pack all fragile items such as china & glassware in newsprint paper and bubble wrap which we can provide free of charge at time of booking. Keep the heavier items at the bottom of the carton and lighter more fragile items at the top of the carton. Make sure all fragile items are well padded and do not overload the weight as this will cause damage to your belongings and the carton. Keep a list numbered list of what contents are within the box as this will be necessary for customs. For more delicate and specialised items professional packing is available please ask our sales team for further information.
