Would I need new boxes, or can I use second hand boxes?

• If you are moving internationally or interstate, industry standard boxes are recommended, as most removalists will request these sizes. We have a large variety of industry standard boxes at Easy Storage Rockingham.
• If you are moving locally, you can make use of second hand boxes, provided they are sturdy and in good condition. You do not want a box to pop open at the least expected time and your valuables getting damaged!
• Call into our box shop to see our second hand boxes available – they walk out the door quickly, so our range varies from day to day.

How to pack boxes for moving house

• It is important to be organised in your packing – otherwise it can cause confusion and may cost you $$, especially if you are paying someone to help you move
• Make a list of everything you will need in the first 2 weeks after your move. These items should be packed last and unpacked first.
• Aim to pack room by room. It is very efficient to pack up everything in one room, before moving onto the next.
• Start with what you use least, like collections, books, alternate seasonal clothes, tools or kitchen utensils you use infrequently – you get the idea.
• Ensure you mark your boxes CLEARLY, stating  which room it is intended for in your new place. This will result in less clutter at your new house, since your friends or removalists can place the boxes in the correct room.
• Pack a First Night Box – this will make your life much easier!!
• Use sturdy boxes for heavy items like books, and ensure they are not too large since they will be very heavy.
• Mark fragile items clearly on the box and stack these boxes at the top, avoiding heavier boxes to crush them.
• Use your own linen, towels, etc. to securely pack your fragile items. If you do not have enough, make sure you get packing paper or bubble wrap
