GET STURDY
UNIFORM PACKING
SUPPLIES
- Always move cash, jewelry, and other precious items yourself.
- Empty lateral file cabinets.
- Movers should not move any flammable materials such as gas, propane, ammo, etc.
- Pack a box of cleaning supplies and keep it under the sink so it's not misplaced on moving day.
- Most moving companies will not disconnect or reconnect washers or ice machines. Be sure to have yours disconnected before the movers arrive!
PACK THE
BASICS YOURSELF
- Use linens or blankets for wrapping mirrors, pictures and such.
- When packing breakables use a lot of news prints, bubble wrap, and other packing materials. There's no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to your fragile valuables.
- Clearly label all of your boxes according to their content and handling instructions (e.g.: "Fragile," "Top Load Only"). You can also categorize the boxes by room using color-coordinated sticker dots.
- Tape boxes on top and bottom.
- Bundle garden tools, fishing poles and the like together
