Tip 1: If Someone Offers To Help You Pack – Accept It!
It can be a bit odd asking people to help pack, move and unpack all your personal belongings, especially if you have an idea of where you want to place everything. However if your friends and family offer some help, you should definitely take it! Moving house can be so time consuming, so extra hands is always beneficial to save time, and save costs so you don’t have to spend extra money on professional movers.
