In this article, we explain:

Are you about to move and don’t know where to start? At Gumper we provide you with some tips so you can get organized and achieve the best results in a short time. Take note!


What do you need to send?

Not everything you have is used… and you know it! For this reason, it is important to select which items are essential and separate them from those that are not used daily. Although it may not be to our liking, it is time to clean the house, and if we can make money selling, even better.

Logistics for shipping boxes

It’s time to reflect on where you will store everything you have. Well, whenever possible, it is preferable that the size of the boxes is small so they can be handled comfortably. This way, the transporter can work faster and the moving time will be shorter.

Distribute space well
Related to the previous point, once you have chosen the items you will take to your destination, remember to place the objects correctly inside the box. The goal is for the interior not to move during the journey, as this could lead to breakage.

Avoid empty spaces
Many moves are carried out using trucks and utilize the technique of stacking boxes. That is, piling one on top of another to maximize the space in the vehicle. This is why, when preparing them, you should try to ensure there are no empty spaces, as your belongings could be damaged.

Organize storage boxes
Don’t panic. We know that right now you are surrounded by a multitude of boxes. The next step is to organize the moving boxes. A good tip is to make a list of what each box contains, thus keeping track of your items at all times.

Finally, pack and protect
One of the main problems in shipping is the lack of protection for personal effects. To prevent deterioration, it is vital to protect the boxes with high-quality packaging, both inside and outside.
