How should I pack electronics?
Special attention is required for your sensitive electronic items. If possible pack them in the original box they came in if you managed to hold on to them as they are the perfect fit.
How should I pack boxes?
Books can become incredibly heavy when too many are packed in one large box. Better to use several smaller boxes and avoid the strain.
How should I pack fragile items?
Use newspaper to pack your fragile items and protect them from possible damage. No need to purchase products like bubble wrap or Styrofoam, besides newsprint can crumple to the shape required and is recyclable.
