So you want to put your precious valuables in your own hands? Keep in mind anything broken in a box you packed is not covered by your moving company. Using our packing services is the safest and most efficient way to get your items from house to home. But if you decide you want to take the hours and hours of time packing your own house, here are some tips to help you and the movers.
1. Buy Your Boxes-
Stop hunting around your neighborhood for used boxes of all shapes and sizes. This is the worst way to move your personal belongings. The best places we’ve found to purchase boxes are U-haul and Walmart.
2. Close Your Boxes-
Part of purchasing boxes is you can get a box to fit almost anything. Having boxes closed on top protects your belongings from falling out, reduces load time by allowing movers to move and load boxes more easily, and it helps you organize your items in the box.
3. Clearly Label Boxes-
By labeling your boxes with the room they go into and the general contents helps you unpack and helps the mover place them in your new house without asking every 5 seconds “where does this go…where does this go…?”
4. Hire Us-
The best tip I can give you for packing is to hire a professional! No matter how many times you’ve moved, you haven’t moved more than us. We wrap your items and tightly pack them to make sure nothing breaks. We label the boxes clearly and on one side so we can face them the same direction allowing you to easily see what’s in the boxes and where they should be. Most importantly, if we pack it…you’re covered by insurance. If you pack it…anything broken is on you.
