Let us be honest, moving is a total nightmare, with mountains of stuff to do, endless boxes to find (and then pack!) and that sinking feeling when you realise you have collected more random things than you ever thought possible. Flexi Removals is here to tell you that there is way to make this entire process not just manageable, but kind of liberating.
The Declutter Challenge: Confronting the Clutter
Have you ever been in a position where you are standing in your living room, surrounded by years of accumulated items? From that lamp you thought was cool in “2010” to those shoes you have worn exactly once (or never) and not forgetting those Christmas presents you never really liked. Flexi Removals is here to tell you that it is time to get ruthless,
The Battle Plan
Grab three boxes (or bin bags if easier) and its organising time:
- We have the KEEP section for the absolute treasures and must keep.
- We have the SELL section that someone else might want.
- We have the DONATE/BIN for everything else.
Show Me the Money
Time to make some money back, here are a few tips to help make that cash:
- Facebook Marketplace and Facebook local groups – this normally brings quick sales, and you can allocate the time to pick it up also saves more time for you.
- Gumtree is still around and great for local sales.
- Vinted – for clothes… There are other apps, but Vinted is one of the more popular ones.
If you cannot sell, give it away
Not everything’s worth selling, but that does not mean it is worthless, local charity shops are crying out for help. Places like Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation, they can turn your clutter into someone else’s treasure. Not forgetting our local homeless shelters and community centres here in Preston.
