For a better preparation of your moving day, please note the following "moving hints":

1. Points to note for packing items

• Make a checklist for what will go into each box.  Label the boxes with numbes and mark down clearly in your checklist.  Take a photo of the items inside the boxes if needed. 

• Organize your items into groups (e.g. to be packed, to be donated, to be disposed, to be stored in warehouse) before packing begins.

  • How to donate

    •  Salvation Army - Donate Clothing & Goods
    •  Crossroad Foundation - Donate Goods
    •  Po Leung Kuk - Donate Goods
    •  YMCA Toys Bank
  • How to Dispose
    • Dispose your items to Official Refuse Collection Point by yourself (Please click to see the address of collection points)
    • Contact Da Da to help you dispose the items   
  • Find a warehouse for your items?
    • Contact Da Da for a quotation   
• Pack a box of essential or everyday item.  Pack like items together.  Pack the detergents independently.
• Important and valuable items such as jewelry, passports, cash, and personal documents should be carried with you or keep in a safe place like relative's house.  You can also consider to purchase an insurance for the valuable items, for a better protection.
• Wrapping glassware or fragile items by newspaper or bubble wrap.  Wrap each item individually.  Put some soft materials, like a towel, packing paper, or Styrofoam peanuts in the box, to fill up the gap and provide padding for the items.

• Large boxes packed with heavy items will make the moving job harder and also have a better chance of breaking.  So better put heavy things in small boxes; light things in big boxes.

• Please leave the big furniture items to Da Da's professional moving team, we will help you wrap and pack the items properly.  Please empty the drawers or cabinets before moving, the shifting content may make the item heavier and also pose a danger during moving.

• Make sure you lock or secure the sliding doors & drawers as well as other moving parts.
• Many large furniture likes bed or big cabinets need to be disassembled before moving. Some huge furniture like huge piano & 4-door refrigerator may even need a demolish the wall before we move it into the new site.  A detail planning will be needed for those large furnitures.  Please discuss with Da Da professional moving team in advance, so we can work out a plan for avoiding those large item related hassle.
• "Waterproof" your carton box or items if you foresee there is rain during your sheduled moving day.

2. Points to note for informing parties & transferring utilities

• Reserve the car park spaces of both existing & new site.
• For a smoother moving, please inform the building management offices in advance of the scheduled moving date.

• Transferring the accounts of the public utility, broadband and paid TV.  Change the address of your bank, insurance, subscriped magazines etc.
