Pack for the route items will actually travel

In Selby, packing should follow the access route rather than a generic checklist. Where items need to pass through stairs, tighter halls or longer carries, stronger boxes and clearer labels save time and reduce rehandling.

What helps the crew load faster

Label by room and floor level.Separate fragile cartons from heavy stacked boxes.Keep fittings, screws and remote controls bagged and named.Use padding on furniture likely to brush walls or stair rails.

Why this matters locally

Good packing cuts down hesitation on the day. In Selby, where bridge traffic, centre restrictions and longer internal carries in flats above shops or converted buildings, that can make the difference between a steady loading run and repeated slowdowns.
