This is very important and great attention should be made in adequately packing your effects in the most suitable manner. Remember they may have a very long journey ahead. The single biggest mistake which we encounter is students packing too many items (particularly heavy books) into one box. We highly recommend that a carton should weigh a maximum of 30 kilos. It is safer and no more expensive to use two smaller cartons than one large carton when they are full of books.

Overweight cartons tend to be dropped and they may split open. Electrical items such as computers, hi-fi equipment etc. are usually safer when packed in their original boxes if you still have them. If not we do have a large stock of packing materials for protection such as bubble wrap and polystyrene chips etc. Providing common sense is used your goods should travel and arrive safely.

To further protect any electrical items in their original boxes we suggest that you disguise the boxes by wrapping them in black plastic bags or similar opaque sheets. As long as they are then clearly marked fragile and the destination name and address clearly visible, the carton should be safe. There is no need for the various people who handle your packages en route to know the contents. To know that they are fragile should suffice. Tudor can disguise these boxes at a cost of £1 per box, similarly, suitcases + bags should be locked securely to protect the contents.

We are able to supply ALL of the packing materials which you are likely to need. The materials are available for you at reasonable prices. We have a large supply of export cartons which are over 50% thicker and stronger than most of our competitors. We also stock bubblewrap, shrink-wrap, strapping, protective blankets, pallets and other specialist materials e.g. hanging wardrobe boxes.
