BOXES

Using good strong, clean boxes taped on the top and bottom with strong plastic moving tape secures your goods against breakage. This also speeds up the moving process.

LABEL

Label boxes on their sides with your name on them for easier recognition. Don’t forget to label those extra fragile boxes "FRAGILE" and use arrows pointing to the top of the box.

DRESSERS, ARMOIRES,
OR CHEST OF DRAWERS

• Have all furniture completely cleared off and ready to go.
• Your regular clothing may be left in their drawers providing it doesn’t put under stress on the piece of furniture itself or the movers.
• Antique dressers, large double or triple dressers are best moved empty, especially if they are subject to a flight of stairs.
• Remove all valuables or breakables from your drawers. Jewelry or coins are especially at risk since they can fall out and get lost or broken. We are not responsible for such items.

DESKS

• Completely empty out the contents of your desk since small items can fall out and get lost.
• TVs can be boxed or blanket wrapped depending on their size.

PLANTS

We prefer not to move plants, but for those larger ones in pots we ask that you do not water them 3 to 4 days prior to your move. Plants tend to leak water and create problems. Plants are not insured due to their fragile nature.

CLOTHING

Wardrobe boxes are available for hanging clothes. Each box holds approximately 3 to 4 ft. of wardrobe space depending on the density of the clothes. Wardrobe boxes are a wonderful way to protect your clothes from getting soiled or wrinkled.

PICTURES AND MIRRORS

For those larger pictures or mirrors that can’t be boxed, we will take care of those for you. All others should be carefully boxed protecting glass from breakage or delicate frames from scratches.

APPLIANCES

• All food must be emptied out of the refrigerator and freezer. An ice chest is good for transporting and or keeping your food cold or frozen.
• Disconnect washers and dryers ahead of time. This saves us time and you money.
• Small kitchen appliances should be wrapped and properly boxed. Microwaves can be blanket wrapped.

LAMPS

• Small lamps should be wrapped and boxed.
• Larger lamps can be blanket-wrapped by our company, but any removable glass bulbs shades or grass pieces to the lamp should be boxed separately.
• All shades must be properly boxed as they are extremely vulnerable to damage. (No insurance will be provided on shades that aren’t properly boxed.)

ELECTRONICS (These are sensitive machines so…)

• Original boxes are always best for transporting electronics since they usually have Styrofoam inserts. In the event that you don’t have the original boxes, use a good strong box with plenty of cushioning.
• Large speakers that can’t fit into a box can be blanket-wrapped by our company. Small speakers should be boxed.

THE "DREADED" GARAGE

Please make sure all loose items are boxed and ready to go. Ever wonder what to do with the plastic garbage cans that have been outdated? Put your gardening equipment or hoses in them, or maybe even play or sports equipment that’s kicking around the house. Be creative!

Flammable paints, pesticides, or poisons are illegal for movers to transport. Please arrange to move those on your own or dispose them in the proper manner.

PACKING

Packing is one of the most important but sometimes overlooked aspects of moving. The quality and safety of your office or household move depends on the quality of the pack job. Again, using proper materials and plenty of packing paper is the key! A "How to Pack Booklet" is available upon request at no charge. This booklet explains the actual "how to" process of packing fragile china or breakables.
