FAQs Section
- Q1: How do you keep appliance cords safe?
If equipment lists the cord each individual product offers, wrap cords all-around approach it. Wrap them in homologous rubber bands or twistier-tips to avoid messiness.
- Q2: Would regular boxes be enough for packing the previous section?
Any old boxes will do, since they typically have no buttons or other small components that could be easily damaged, as long as what you use is sturdy enough to support the weight of the device inside without ripping. Heavy items should be packed in a stronger, reinforced box.
- Q3: How can I prevent items from moving around in the box?
Place packing paper, foam peanuts or bubble wrap around each item until it does not move when you give it a gentle shake.
- Q4: Should I Save The Original Box So That Packing Becomes Easier?
If possible, yes. Original boxes are created to hold the unit tightly and not move around in the box which means it will sustain less damage during shipping.
- Q5: Can I stack appliances inside boxes together to save space?
It is strongly not recommended to stack them as they can easily be damaged. Wrap up each appliance in insulation or insert protective inserts if they are to be stacked.
- Q6: When should I begin packing kitchen appliances?
You can pack appliances not used on a daily basis as early as two weeks before moving day in order to save time and reduce stress.
