Hey there I noticed you said you used a move cube and we are in the midst of packing those boxes and my plastic tubs now. Can I ask u noticed you had alot of wool. I'm a quilter and have at leat two plastic tubs of materials and one of bits and pieces I use to quilt. Did you have to itemise all your wool in the one box. If it was all different skeins,. I keep thinking how all our clothes have to be itemised and think heck idninhave to do all my quilting pieces I shall go insane. Let me know how you went with wool situation. Thanks in advance.

My husband didn't itemise his tools - just said tools I think. Ditto with your quilting tools, I'd just say quilting tools. When we looked at the insurance form it did seem to require more info. For us it seemed like a reasonable risk to take but I think if you needed tools for work then it would make more sense to insure. There is a weight limit on the cube so we were able to keep a running total of the weight and thought we were coming close. The other benefit of putting weight on the boxes is when you are packing the cube because there were some that were too heavy for me to try and lift but DH could manage them. We taped out a corner of the dining room to the cube dimensions so we could see how much space we were taking, however, we had much more space left over than we thought. Just make sure everything is squeaky clean - not a molecule of dirt on garden tools or shoes and the vacuum cleaner has been washed etc. The only thing that broke, astonishingly, was the mudguard strut on my husband's bike!

Hi Elayna - no we just put Knitting wool, fully processed handcraft yarn on the boxes. No issues at all. I had a couple of boxes - 35kg of them at least. We didnt itemise clothes, we just put "Clothes" on the box. We didnt go into more detail than that because we crossed our fingers and didnt insure. We itemised important (to us) things - dont know if you can see the pic but you get an idea of the sort of labelling we did. My DH did them all - he put labels on two sides and he also put the weight on each box. He numbered the boxes and kept a spreadsheet. If there was a mixture of things like memorabilia, clothes, shoes - then he only itemised down that far. I think with quilting stuff you just put "quilting fabric, threads, batting" or whatever you have going into the box - more for you when you want to find something but dont want to unpack the whole lot in one hit. Good luck with it!!!
