Put closet items in a systematized way for each member of the family. Pack them by style, color, purpose or other convenient way. If possible, use vacuum packing.
Household appliances are better transported in native boxes, in their absence use rigid boxes made of durable cardboard. For large appliances, in addition to cardboard containers, it is desirable to use wooden pallets and crates.
Kitchen utensils and other items can be put in bulky pots or boxes. All breakable and breakable items should be carefully wrapped in paper or bubble wrap. Items should be strictly fixed and not dangling, empty spaces should be filled with cloth or crumpled paper.
Fittings from disassembled furniture put in signed boxes, so that then do not look for a long time.

When folding things, stick to logic and common sense, do not put near liquids objects that can spoil in case of its leakage. To avoid possible chaos upon arrival at the new place - label and sign all boxes.

How to send a lot of things to another city?

There are several ways how you can move things to another city:

Byyour own transportation. Most people have only passenger cars, so you can move a little - personal belongings, small furniture and some household appliances. This option is not suitable for a serious move.
Hire a minibus. Choose a vehicle with enough capacity to accommodate all the things prepared for the move. Ordinary organizations engaged in cargo transportation, can provide a dump truck, or flatbed car without a tent. Such equipment is not suitable for transportation, as it does not have protection of the cargo from dust and moisture. It is better to hire a car from a specialized company. In addition to closed cargo compartments, the rented vehicle may have a low base and hydraulic elevators to facilitate loading work.
Container transportation by road. A convenient way to deliver a large amount of bulky furniture and home appliances. Modern trucks have an internal volume of up to 120 m3. Order a car with a payload of 5 to 20 tons and a large volume capacity can be here.

In addition to transport, specialized organizations, including Mak-Trans, provide their movers and packing materials to protect things.

Another important question is how much it costs to move things from one city to another? There is no unambiguous answer to this question, since the price is formed for each case separately based on:

the model of the car and its characteristics;
load;
kilometer;
peculiarities of the route;
the need to provide movers, materials and containers.

On the question of the cost of the service is enough to call the manager of our company or leave a request with the initial data for calculation.

It is not possible to move for free, but it is quite possible to save a significant part of the budget. To do this, you can use the following tips:

Leave everything unnecessary in the old place, take only the necessary.
Put soft bulky clothes in vacuum packs to save space.
Order the best-sized vehicle for your move.
Do not make the move in emergency mode, plan everything in advance. Urgent work is much more expensive.
Take advantage of trucking, that is, rent not the entire truck, but only part of it.

What else you need to know when moving to another city

The road itself and the first days after the change of housing are the most difficult. In order for everything to go smoothly, you need to fulfill the following conditions:

Separately collect for each several sets of clothes, underwear and shoes in season for home and street. Add 1-2 warm clothes just in case.
