Wardrobe Cartons

It is normal to transport all adult hanging clothing in wardrobe cartons. Typically these will arrive on the removal day on the removal van. It does not take long for you to transfer your clothing into these boxes onto the suspended rail and off again at the other end. A deposit maybe required if you need to dismantle a wardrobe and require these in advance or need to retain them for a period in your new home.

Top Tip When Packing Up Your Home

Avoid the temptation to buy cheaper cartons. The cheap cartons you see being sold on the internet are usually single wall boxes and are generally not up to scratch. A double wall carton is much stronger and will prevent damage. Fill every carton to the top to prevent them crushing at the corners and use smaller cartons for books !
