Firstly, I wouldn't send a chandelier by post unless I really had to, with a high value, fragile item I would always opt for a dedicated courier vehicle. Check with your courier before booking as to whether the item is covered by their insurance, often glass isn't covered, and as that is the main part of a chandelier, it pays to shop around.
Couriers carry higher insurances and have nothing else on the vehicle except for your item, making it less likely to get damaged.
Sometimes, you need to send it via the post or Chelmsford parcel and courier company such as Arrow Light Haulage. So to get it to it's destination in one piece, find a box big enough for the chandelier and the packaging. You will need to remember if the item is over 25kgs it will need to be lifted by 2 people - HSE rules.
Wrap all the loose parts with bubble wrap and tape securely. Place gently onto a polystyrene base and then fill with polystyrene chips or popcorn. (Popcorn is particularly good, it gets oin all the nooks and crannies and won't damage the item being packed). Place another polystyrene base gently on the top of the Chandelier, taking care not to damage the item. Before you secure the box, check that the item isn't ratting around in the box, if it is add more chips and perhaps pad out with scrunched up balls of newspaper.
When the Chandelier is secure, tape the box closed and write on the box in marker pen, the address. Why not a label? because a label may get torn, or damaged and your item may get 'lost' in the system.

Image via WikipediaOnce upon a time, Byte and Bit Server manufacturers needed to have one of their servers delivered to a customer. They had decided wisely that a courier should deliver the server units, as with the credit crunch and economic downturn, they would save money by no longer having their own delivery vans and drivers. They were saving a small fortune until they employed Breakit & Bashit couriers, the cheapest company in town.
They rubbed their hands with glee, they were certainly going to save money here! They called B&B in, and they had the wrong size vehicle booked, the booking clerk didn't take the correct details, not to worry, they will send a new correctly sized vehicle. They did 4 hours later, but that was ok, they would still just get it to their important new customer on time.
The server had to be laid down, and the van didn't have carpet on the floor, so it had to be pushed onto the van carefully or the outer casing of the unit would get damaged through the packaging. B&B also had some furniture on the van and shoddily wrapped pallet of ball bearings. The driver didn't seem to bothered about this, so Byte and Bit and didn't worry after all, they were in the hands of the professionals.
The driver took the paperwork and set off on his journey. On the M25 he did a lot of violent braking and fast accelerating, and the pallet of ball bearings burst through the poor packaging and spilled all over the interior of the van.
After the customer had waited 2 hours past their business closing time, the delivery was finally made, and the server delivered just to the kerbside. The client of Byte and Bit wasn't very happy, and didn't have a good impression of Byte and Bit.
They installed their server, but it didn't work, several ball bearings had got into the casing. Engineers had to be sent at Byte and Bits expense, and then a replacement unit was delivered.
This is a fairy tale right? Sadly no, only the names have been changed to protect the not so innocent!
By using Arrow Light Haulage to deliver their server units Byte and But wouldn't have been late, they wouldn't have created the wrong impression and they wouldn't have had to redeliver a perfect item to their customer to replace the damaged server.
You get what you pay for when it comes to delivering your goods, and if you want to create the right impression then you need to use the right courier from the start.
Just give a call to discuss your delivery needs on 07816 528421, we will even wrap and pack for you as part of our premium services.
Make sure your deliveries end with 'happily ever after' by using the Chelmsford, Essex based courier company that delivers safely, nationwide :-)

If you have established what type of access you need at your storage place, you will need to pack the things that you are most likely to need, last. This means they are at the front of the unit when you need them
Put a dust sheet on the floor before you unload your items onto it.
Image by nemone via Flickr Are you a student looking to move closer to Uni, in the term time?
Well, you have some options and the most popular seems to be hire a van, and do it yourself.
Alternatively you can hire a courier company, like Arrow Light Haulage to do it for you. A courier is usually paid on the distance moved and not the amount of stuff that needs moving. They have different insurance from a removal company, so it can be a cheaper option to use a courier for your light removal, than to use a removal company. Using a courier may not suit your circumstances, so it's best to check first and see what you get for your quote.
Arrow light Haulage are happy to collect at several destinations, so it may suit you to split the cost between two or three people, that way everyone saves money!
So, if you are looking to go back to halls of residence or rooms closer to Uni, have a look at the alternative student movers too. You may well pick up a bargain.
