PACKING TIPS
1. Don't pack what you don't need
- Moving is the perfect time to purge unused items from your home.
- We work closely with a second hand retail store that will resell gently used furniture and household items.
- We offer cleaning services to help you meet your moving deadline.
2. Stay organized
- If you decide to pack yourself, make sure you label all boxes so we know which room they belong in. If you pack a box of delicate items, mark it FRAGILE.
- If you decide to Move with Integrity, call today to schedule a free on-site consultation. We can take an inventory of your whole house and provide all the packing materials you need. We will make sure every box is packed securely, labeled properly, and transported with superior service you won’t find anywhere else.
- Do not pack any important items you may need during the move. This includes your cell phone, charger, keys, wallet, purse, and jewelry.
3. Know how to pack
- Do not over-pack boxes – the heavier the item, the smaller the box
- Do not under-pack boxes – this can result in the box caving in during stacking, storage, or transport.
- Wrap anything delicate, including glassware, dishes, and fine china in tissue paper before packing. Make sure every item is secure and padded.
- Unpack any breakables over a padded surface.
- Pack dishes sideways on end after wrapping and padding, do not stack them on top of one another.
- Pack cds and records the same way, side by side.
- If you disassemble any items yourself, such as a bed or crib, make sure to keep all hardware including nuts and bolts in a plastic bag and tape it to the furniture.
- If assembling boxes yourself, remember that every box should be taped on the underside to ensure structural integrity. Box tops should be able to close flat for stacking during transport and storage.
4. Be prepared
- Pack a couple ‘essential boxes’:
- One with food, snacks, utensils, paper plates,
- Another with toiletries, cleaning supplies, a toolkit, and anything else you may need immediately upon arriving at your new home.
- Make sure your refrigerator is emptied out and the freezer defrosted for the day of your move.
- If packing yourself, make sure you have plenty of PACKING MATERIALS, and don’t forget packing peanuts and packing paper for proper padding.
