PREPARATION OF PERSONAL CLOTHING

Usually, unless you have requested assistance from us you should prepare items of personal clothing for owner packing, in special cartons to be supplied by us.  It is important to remember NOT to pack articles that your family will be wearing and may require during your journey overseas, also dependent on your destination, bear in mind

the climatic conditions that may be experienced upon your arrival.

Most Insurance Companies will not cover against the risk of breakage or chipping unless fragile articles are professionally packed.  Consequently, DO NOT attempt to pack such articles yourself unless you have been advised to the contrary.  Leave us to take apart dressing tables, wardrobes, bedsteads and other huge articles.
