The key to a stress free move is to have a qualified company come and handle everything for you. If you are looking for someone to help you pack and move there are professional movers in Dubai who are experts in the field. Unlike other cities across the world, a large percentage of moving companies in Dubai offer this service as standard. These movers have many years of experience in packing and moving residential and office furniture around the Emirates. They will generally handle the disassembly and reassembly of large furniture items as well. Check websites, research forums and find a company with good reviews and testimonials that you feel you can trust for the job.

Here’s what you should do before the truck arrives on moving day:

You will require lots of boxes for all your possessions if you want to save some money. You’ll need to put together a list of all of the items for easy reference that you need to have packed up and loaded on the truck. Most movers will offer to sell you boxes and the majority of these companies will buy back any which you do not use.

Pack in an ordered fashion. E.g. pack lights and their bulbs together, books and their bookends in the same boxes etc. If you have any wall hangings keep their wall fastenings in the same box so they remain together. This can simplify things and save you a load of time when you’re unpacking at your destination. While you’re packing, put items which go together in the same boxes and don’t overload.

Overloading a box could result in the bottom falling out which is the last thing you want. Be sure to place a label on your boxes. Use the names of the rooms on the labels. This makes unpacking quicker and easier at you destination as the removal crew know exactly where to place your boxes.

Another thing you can do to make packing and unpacking easier is to keep numbered lists of what items are in each box. Note down the condition of the piece of furniture and if there are any scratches and mark out any delicate pieces you want them to take special care of. Televisions and artwork can be bubble wrapped and carried in a safe compartment of the removal van.

If the company is handling the disassembly, make sure they individually wrap each section of your furniture. Glass doors from TV cabinets for example should be separated with cardboard sections and bubble wrapped. Wooden sections of a double bed should be protectively wrapped and tied together with all screws and bolts in a ziplock bag and taped to the bed head so they are easier found at your destination.

When loading your furniture; you should keep an eye on the job, ensuring that everything is placed neatly and securely to your satisfaction. Check each item off as it is being loaded. If for some reason you are unable to be at the destination to meet the moving truck; ensure there is person left in charge can be there so that everything is unloaded and unpacked correctly as it is taken off of the truck. As each item is unloaded the supervisor should check each item and make sure that there has not been any damage. Then after each piece is looked over, they can check the item off the checklist which you made before the trip, making notes of damage on the list.

With preparation, organization and experienced movers, packing up and moving in Dubai can be easy and a stress free experience.
