Dangerous Goods – Notifying us in Advance

Although it’s a subject we’ve blogged on before (the last time was about 7-8 months back), we hope you’ll excuse us for covering it again because it’s an important subject.

Here at Christchurch Removals, we can move just about anything to just about anywhere as part of our furniture removals service. However, there are a few potentially hazardous items where we will need to ask you to notify us well in advance if they’re included in your inventory of things to move:

• inflammable materials – typically including things such as liquid fuels, gas  cylinders, paints, thinners and so on;

• corrosives – this can cover a wide range of materials but examples might include DIY or industrial strength acids, drain cleaning fluids, photographic chemicals, bleach, caustic soda etc.;

• explosives – people tend to automatically think of exotic things such a dynamite but in reality this also means far more mundane things such as fireworks or ammunition;

• gas cylinders or any highly pressurised containment vessel; Read more about dangerous goods.....  http://www.christchurchremovals.co.nz/dangerous-goods-notifying-us-in-advance/

Young Children and Removal Day

Nobody knows your children like you do and we wouldn’t presume for a second to try and tell you how they’ll be likely to react.

Based on our very extensive experience of furniture removals, Christchurch and elsewhere, we can say though that we’ve usually witnessed one of two apparent reactions with younger (say under about 8-9 years of age) children:

wild excitement and they love every minute of the day;

a very withdrawn and sorrowful-looking response. They may also become very ‘clingy’ with parents.

Of course, a lot depends upon an individual child’s personality but the second reaction above shouldn’t be surprising.

Many younger children don’t like radical change in what is for them, a familiar and safe environment. The more significant the changes are as a result of the move, say including new schools and friends, then the greater the risk of a fretful reaction on the day itself.

We thought we’d share with you a few techniques we seen parents use over the years; ones which have seemed to us to be effective:
