We are continuing our series on packing tips to help your move go smooth.  There are several strategies movers and packers take to ensure your belongings are organized and stay safe.  Our previous article discussed the importance of utilizing wardrobe boxes and considering the option of leaving items in drawers and tightly shrink wrapping them for the move.  Today, we will look at two more packing strategies to consider.

UTILIZE LINENS, TOWELS, BLANKETS, ETC. TO KEEP ITEMS FROM BREAKING

Linens, towels, blankets, etc. make excellent padding. Fragile and breakable items can be wrapped and cushioned by them to keep them secure and protected.  You’re moving them anyway so why not put them to good use!

IMPLEMENT A COLOR CODE SYSTEM

Implementing a color code system will save you significant time when unpacking. Simply purchase some colored stickers and assign each room a color.  When your movers and packers unload the truck, ask them to place boxes in their corresponding room. Color coding makes it so much easier to identify where the box goes vs. having it handwritten.

We will discuss more useful packing tips in our next article.

We are continuing our series on packing.  As a full service moving company, we are often asked about packing.  Not only is this a service we offer, but we find that more and more of our customers choose to eliminate the stress of packing by having our movers and packers handle it for them. Our previous article discussed some ways to help you prepare for the arrival of your movers and packers.  This article will address what happens during the packing process itself.

WHEN OUR MOVERS AND PACKERS ARRIVE

When our movers and packers enter your home, the first item on their agenda is to conduct a walk through with you.  This is the time for you to show them what items to pack and what stays behind. Your full service movers will then bring packing material into your home and begin the packing process, going room to room, until everything is packed.  They will mark each box with the name of the room from which the contents were packed (i.e. kitchen, master bedroom).

WILL ALL OF THE BOXES BE FULL?

Our movers and packers make every effort to completely fill each box.  This is done primarily to help prevent items from being damaged. In some cases, items from two rooms may end up in the same box to ensure capacity is reached.

FINAL WALK THROUGH

Once complete, our movers and packers will ask you to take one final walk through to ensure nothing was missed.  It is important to check everything, including drawers, closets and even inside the washer, dryer and dishwasher.
