Student Packing Tips for Moving

Congratulations if you made it to end of the year in one piece! If you're graduating soon, then a double congratulations to you!

Soon, many student tenancy contracts will be coming to an end, so you'll be faced with the fact that you have to pack up and move. Although this can be a stressful process here are some tips to make life a little easier.

Get rid of what you don't want

Throughout the year we accumulate far more than we need. Before moving its important to only take the necessities and your favourite things with you. Student accommodation is often small, so this will help to combat clutter. If you have clothing and items that are still of good quality, consider donating them to Traid - they'll also pick up your stuff for free ! If you have things that you just want to get rid of - put your requirements on AnyVan and we will take them to the tip for you.

Not in the mood to pack? Let us do it

On AnyVan there is a "man power" category. This means that if you would rather someone else pack up your stuff - you can list this on our site! If you also need these items to be transported can list this as well.

Moving out with ease

Unlike many transport companies, you won't have to spend time calling around to different places to get quotes. Instead, you simply list everything you have that you need moved and drivers from different companies will quote you. You then choose the quote that suits you - based on either the drivers rating, reviews or other factors.

After moving

In order to better organise your flat, pick up some clear storage boxes for items you don't need on an everyday basis.

We hope these tips have helped you to realise that packing and moving as a student doesn't have to be hard. Also, did we mention we can save you up to 75% off compared to other companies? The transport providers on our site compete to win your job, so the quotes get cheaper and cheaper. It's kind of like eBay bidding but backwards!
