Pack Correctly
- Boxes - Fill all boxes to the top. The structural integrity of each carton is dependent on a fully packed box. Seal all cartons, top and bottom. Write on the top of the box the contents and/ or the room to which it will be going. Do not pack any open liquids or spray cans. Drawers - It is recommended that any drawers be emptied in the event the dresser has to be tilted.
- Linens - Spread linens around as packing protection for fragile items (i.e. lamps, large platters) or as filler for partially full boxes. Lamps and pictures MUST BE PACKED!
- Dishes - Use sturdy boxes and pack with unprinted newsprint or linens. Provide plenty of padding on the top, bottom and sides.
- Our professionally trained movers will inspect your boxes to make sure they are "truck-worthy"
