Question Ladies Only

Hi

I know this is a stupid question but here goes. When the shippers come to pack your stuff some threads have said that they pack everything including clothes. I can't imagine some strange men coming in and packing clothes i.e. underwear. Are you allowed to pack these items in plastic storage bags yourself. I feel really stupid asking this but it has been niggling me.

Susan

Hi Susan
It may be a stupid question but I was also wondering that to. How much of the packing do they actually do. All my pics and Christmas decorations are in plastic containers and I was told by a friend they cant go in plastic as it sweats????

We packed clothes etc., in bags and cases. We also put bed linen in our storage boxes and laundry hampers - the packers then box or wrap those things for you. But ... Just in case - get a couple of nice pairs of knickers from marks and put them on the top ... just in case they peek lol

I packed things into cases (was told to avoid plastic storage bags due to temp changes) and cardboard boxes and they just packed them straight into Crown boxes ,hope this helps

Hi

Thanks for all your replies. Don't feel as daft now knowing that others thought of this as well. I think I will put most of them in my case.
