Yes they do advise them to be removed. They could also leak and ruin whatever they were in too!!!

Yes we were told that we will need to take them out - we were also told to stop using our washing machine 3/4 days before & open the drainage wotnot at the front & tip the machine forward & leave it like that until pack so it wont introduce moisture into our container. We were also told (When we had the quote) that if we emptied the roof of the stuff we were taking & brought it down into the first floor & anything from the shed/ garage to get out & clean & bring in to downstairs of house ready.

Also not to leave the kids & dog in the car when they pack it to reduce flight & dog shipping costs !!!


Good luck
Rachel
