4. Important Precautions and Reminders:
Avoid French polishing furniture just before moving: Freshly polished furniture can become slippery and easily marked during the move.
Avoid placing breakables in drawers: Fragile items are best packed separately to prevent damage.
Avoid storing liquids in drawers: Liquids can spill and damage both the drawer and its contents.
Avoid loading drawers with heavy items: This can cause damage to the cabinet and make handling more challenging.
Do not store perishable foods: Keep in mind that perishable and opened tinned foods should not be packed for storage.
Do not pack Dangerous Goods: This includes items like ammunition, aerosol cans of paint, linseed oil, turpentine, thinners, kerosene, petrol, meths, vegetable oils, pool chemicals, brake fluids, oily rags, cleaning fluids, and other hazardous materials.
Empty fuel from primus stoves, lamps, gas bottles, and fuel lawnmowers: This is crucial for safety during transit and storage.
Avoid storing valuables: Items such as jewelry, money, legal documents, tax papers, insurance policies, or anything of considerable value should not be stored or packed.
Inform us about high-value items: Notify us of any high-value items being moved and provide details on the insurance checklist.
Provide a comprehensive list of items to be moved: Ensure that you communicate everything you want moved, as you are responsible for checking that everything is loaded before the removal truck departs.

Drivers licence
Marriage certificate
Birth Certificates
Visa documentation
