If you insist on packing everything yourself…
*** Make sure that your belongings are packed correctly to maximize their safety.
*** Make sure that each box is packed to full capacity and use packing paper to fill in the voids.
*** Make sure that heavy items such as books are packed in small boxes that are 1.5 cubic feet.
*** Make sure that fragile items are packed in small boxes that are 1.5 cubic feet.
*** Make sure that the bottom and top of each box are triple taped.
*** Make sure that all your walkways are clear for walking and dollies.
*** Defrost and dry any refrigerators or freezers that need to be moved.
*** Set aside important and valuable items such as phones, keys, medicine, jewelry and money to carry with you.
*** Dispose of all items too dangerous to move, including liquids and flammables.
*** Remove all loose articles and breakables from dressers, cabinets, etc. (Clothing may stay)
*** Contact your local cable company, telephone services and post office that you are moving.
*** Purchase wardrobe boxes for rakes, shovels, fishing poles, etc. The less loose items that need to be moved will allow your move go faster.
*** If we need to use elevators make sure to reserve them for your move.
*** Try to plan ahead with parking at all your locations.
*** You hired professionals so sit back and enjoy your move!
*** Remember that you are paying per hour and the less stuff that we have to do the faster your move will be.
