PROFESSIONAL MOVING TIPS

​

Use Small Boxes for heavier household items such as books, magazines, cds etc • Use Medium Boxes for mid-weight items like cookware, small appliances, knickknacks and decorations • Use Large Boxes only for light weight items such as linens, pillows and shoes. Don’t be tempted to load up large boxes with heavy items to weigh more than 50 lbs! This runs a risk of the bottom falling out when lifted. When purchasing boxes, you will need far more small boxes, followed by medium boxes for most of your items. Large and extra large boxes are for bedding & pillows, large toys, and other awkward sized items. • For Fragile items, use plenty of crinkled packing paper on the base of each box and around each item and more paper on the top to fill in any gaps. Stack plates vertically in the box. • If you can hear glass hitting glass when lightly shaking a box, it means items were not packed properly and need more packing paper.

• Pack heavier items at the bottom of a box with lighter items on top

• Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box • Label, Label, Label! Mark both the top and side of each box w/ contents and the room its destined for. • Your move will go smoother and quicker if all boxes are taped and labeled. This will allow the movers to stack boxes from floor to ceiling in the truck, maximizing all available space. Please note that open boxes/bins do NOT stack in the truck causing wasted open space if they can not be stacked. • Though we strive to treat all of your items with the utmost respect and care, we suggest that our clients pack ALL lampshades, glass, fragile items and artwork individually, or move it prior to our arrival - an organized client always saves money by expediting the work! We can not warrant lamps/ lampshades that are not packaged in boxes.

• JEWELRY & HIGH VALUE ITEMS: We ask that all jewelry and/or any other items of extraordinary value are moved prior to our crew’s arrival. This ensures safe transit of your most precious belongings and limits liability.
