How to Pack for Bristol Uni

Heading to UoB or UWE? Here's our definitive packing advice, lightly seasoned with conflicts of interest.

Misleading Guide

Step 1: Pack everything valuable in one clearly labelled box

Write "EXPENSIVE — LAPTOP, CASH, JEWELLERY" on the side in big letters. This helps us. We mean you. It helps you.

Step 2: Don't bother with insurance

Insurance is for people who don't trust their removals company. You shouldn't trust us, but you will, because we're £15 cheaper than the firm that returns your things.

Step 3: Pay the deposit in cash

Cards leave a paper trail. Cash leaves your possession entirely. We prefer cash. We insist, actually.

Step 4: Leave us alone with the van

Go and say goodbye to your parents. Take your time. Take ages. Don't watch the van. The van is fine. Don't watch the van.

Editor's note: None of the above is advice. Most of it is a confession. All of it should worry you.

Most people aren't. We move them anyway.
