Count the load in categories
Group small, medium and large boxes, then count bags, suitcases and plastic crates separately. Note books or other dense contents, which may need smaller manageable containers. Keep furniture and appliances on separate lines. “Twenty boxes” is less useful if several are oversized or contain unusually heavy objects.
Plan moving box inventory guide around your Oldbury access
For an Oldbury removal, photograph any barrier between the street and the building and give its marked height. Albert Street, Low Town and West Bromwich Street parking have published height restrictions, so do not base a larger van's access on a previous visit by car. If a barrier prevents close approach, measure the alternative carrying distance and explain stairs or door turns along it.
Prepare the load for the real carrying route: protect exposed corners, keep boxes manageable and label their destination rooms. Reserve essential documents and first-night items for personal access.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For moving box inventory guide, prepare: box quantities by size; heavy contents identified; furniture listed separately.
Update the estimate as packing progresses
Mark early figures as estimates and tell Movivio if the final count changes materially. Include contents from lofts, garages and shared cupboards. Do not assume extra boxes can be added without affecting capacity or time. Describe items that will remain loose so preparation can be discussed before arrival.
A simple inventory format
- Room name, box size category and estimated quantity.
- Heavy or fragile contents needing attention.
- Loose items and furniture outside the box total.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
