Packing - Quick Question
 
Started the packing, which consists of CD's/DVD's and Clothes. When packing do you need to keep track of everything in the box or just estimate e.g. Clothes X items, estimated value Y?

Off to see if I missed this in the Wiki section.

Hi there, we packed a few of our own boxes, we just left them open for the packers to see what was in them then they just wrote on each one PBO (packed by owner) with a very brief description of what was in each one like christmas decs, cd's etc that should be enough, but by doing that you run the risk of customs having a look and if they get suspicious then they might want to check the whole consignment, good luck :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Read the Wiki and it stated that as long as I say clothes and a rough estimate that its enough - better than stating 20 Trousers, 20 Jumpers - which is what I was expecting to have to do. The removal men can check and re-pack if they like, I just need to start getting it in boxes to get an idea of how much I am taking. I really didn't think I had that many clothes until I started to pack them, shocked the "closet" could close!
