Moving Small and Fragile Objects
>> Mar 13, 2013
When undertaking a removal, people always believe the
hardest and most strenuous part of it would be getting the heavy objects, large
pieces of furniture out of the house and into the van. In most cases they are
wrong. Many removal men's professional practice has proved that getting smaller
and easy-to-break objects from house A to house B is actually the worst part of
a house removal. Why? Well, there is more than just one reason why they believe
so. Items like these are more difficult to organize and put in order as well as
easier to lose and of course damage. There are plenty of removal companies that
will gladly assist you in this initiative. However, if you don't feel like
putting the fate of your priceless coin collection, for example, in the hands of
complete strangers, be it the best professionals in the area, or would simply
like to help them out in the process, make sure you do a bit of a preparation
before calling the removal company. When it comes to moving such fragile and
small items, it's never a mistake to do your part of the removal and secure and
put them in order the best you can. After all, no one else but you knows the
real value of an object, and how much respect and care it should be treated
with. Take notice of the following advices, for they may definitely give you
some smart ideas on how not to damage or leave anything behind due to
carelessness. Moving Small and Fragile Objects
Removing a personal collection of any nature is probably the most difficult thing to do. Something you have been collecting and putting in order for the past couple of years that needs to be relocated, especially if it's not in specially designed containers, but on display. A good example for this is a huge set of action figures, beanie babies, nest dolls or matchbox toy cars. What you need to do in a case like this, is to carefully place all the items from your collection in containers, more preferably in plastic crates with lids. And of course to label the crates so that the movers treat their content with the required attention.
If you have a big CD collection, carefully put in order
on specially designed for the matter racks, you should also devote an hour or
two for the preparation of their removal. CD’s can not be simply moved while
still on the rack, they need to be put in boxes/crates/containers. For that
purpose, place the discs vertically in a box/crate/container and make sure you
put them in an alphabetical order so that it would be easier for you to
re-arrange them on the rack when already moved to their new location. Same goes
to the DVD collections.
Needless to say, stamp and coin collections should, by
all means remain in their specially designed folders.
Extra attention should be devoted to the fragile
components of your household. Glasses, plates, glass picture frames and various
easy-to-break items should be handled with as much care as possible. In these
situation don't try and spare any bubble wrap or wrapping paper. Use plenty of
them in order to secure your fragile objects. And of course, never forget to
label the box you put them in as 'fragile'.
The key to removing small and fragile objects is to devote some of your personal
time to the task, rather than leaving it all to the movers. After all, for them
its strictly business, and only you know how much they mean to you.
