Moving within the country and abroad - how to prepare?

Moving is always a challenge, whether you're relocating across town or internationally. It is crucial to plan every step carefully to avoid unnecessary stress and chaos. The first step is to create a detailed list of tasks and deadlines, which will allow for systematic packing and organizing of transportation. It is also important to properly secure your belongings and prepare the necessary documents, especially for international moves. It is a good idea to book moving services in advance and consult with a company specializing in relocations to ensure everything goes smoothly and without surprises.

MBE (Mail Boxes Etc.) services provide comprehensive moving assistance, including professional packing, transportation, and logistical support. With their experience and wide range of services, MBE can ensure a safe and stress-free move both within the country and abroad.

How long does a move take?

The duration of a move depends on various factors such as distance, the amount of belongings to be transported, and the level of preparation. For a local move, the entire process may take from one to three days, depending on the number of items to pack and transport. International moves are more complex and can take from a few days to several weeks, considering the need to handle customs formalities and organize international transport. An important aspect is also the time required to unpack and organize the new residence, which can significantly impact the total duration of the move.

Moving - how to pack?

Packing for a move is a process that requires careful planning and organization. Here are a few tips on how to pack for a move:

  • Start packing in advance to avoid rush and stress.
  • Begin with items you use the least and then move on to those you use daily.
  • Use sturdy boxes and appropriate protective materials, such as bubble wrap or packing paper.
  • Label each box to make it easy to identify and place in the right rooms at the new location.
  • Create a list of packed items to help monitor the process and ease unpacking later.

Good organization and a systematic approach will allow for a smooth and stress-free packing process. If you need help packing awkward or bulky items, use the services of MBE centers - they are at your disposal, providing professional support in this area.

Packing furniture for shipping

Furniture comes in all sizes, shapes, and weight classes. Therefore, proper packaging is always tailored to the specific item. Especially for very valuable furniture, using appropriate packaging materials is crucial. This minimizes the risk of possible damage during transport. Below is a list of packaging materials used for shipping furniture:

  • Sturdy boxes in the right size
  • Bubble wrap and bubble cushions
  • Stretch film for upholstered furniture and large items
  • Edge protectors and adhesive tape
  • Straps and securing belts

Whether you want to ship a cabinet or a bed, it is generally a good idea to:

  1. Disassemble furniture as compactly as possible before packing. This is not always feasible. Particularly, antique furniture often needs to be transported in whole. If protruding parts like chair and table legs or mirror mounts can be removed from the furniture, this should be done as well.
  2. The next step is to group parts together if possible. For example, separate the chair legs with corrugated cardboard and place individual parts together in one box. If multiple parts are in one box, fill any empty spaces with packing materials such as bubble wrap.
  3. Drawers and cabinet doors transported in whole must be secured with tape or securing straps to the furniture. Then wrap the entire piece with tear-resistant stretch film.
  4. For different furniture, it is advisable to apply edge protectors made of cardboard or plastic beforehand. For instance, if you are shipping a chair with a wooden frame.
