Making Decision On Moving Blankets
Jun 10th
When you start packing your things to move it is important to know how to best protect your possessions. Larger furniture and items should be secured with moving blankets. You can use either quilted or non-quilted moving blankets, but the quilted blankets definitely provide the most protection.
The outside material used to make moving blankets is usually a polyester or felt: either is fine. However, you want to check to make sure the inside, made of recycled cotton, has enough filler. You want to use quilted blankets, but the filler determines the amount of protection from there.
Even though large furniture pieces are the most common items wrapped in moving blankets, almost any item can benefit from the protection the blankets offer. Moving blankets are essential to prevent damage and scratches while moving, but can also be beneficial when storing items.
Moving blankets have even more uses than just packing and storing. Moving blankets can be made into a bed for a pet, folded up to make cushions in a playroom, or arranged to sound proof rooms.

If you decide to buy Oriental furniture, be aware that their size and design may not be suitable once you are repatriated. A nice antique Chinese bed is not only difficult to transport but may look awkward in your living room at home in London, as nothing else will fit in! Besides, this furniture is made for use in a different climate and may shrink, expand and crack. Also, before shipping back your furniture you should have it fumigated!
Antiques and Reproductions
Before you start, you need to decide if you want to decorate your home, take back some memories or seriously collect specific items as an investment into the future. The term antique is used for a variety of items offered and you need to inform yourself first about the host and home countries’ regulations and custom requirements such as import and export restrictions on religious artifacts (e.g. Buddha statues).
Educate yourself before you buy.
Keep detailed receipts of each item, and take photos.
