Packing separately for temporary accommodation
If the permanent home is not ready, you may not need the entire household shipment immediately. Prepare a separate set for the transition period.
Before you start
List the expected stay and equipment provided. Consider what would be needed if the short stay extends.
Practical steps
- Code everyday clothes and work materials separately.
- Separate packages for the temporary address from the main delivery.
- Explain the additional address or storage requirement at the quote stage.
Checks on arrival
Count these belongings again when leaving temporary accommodation. Use a separate stage code to prevent duplicate numbers when combining them with the earlier shipment.
What to include in your quote request
Prepare your enquiry around the actual inventory and timing needs rather than household size alone. Separate personal luggage from the shipment. Match access arrangements, priority items and contact people to one written moving plan.
