Moving Tips

  • Get boxes early in the moving process. Don't use oversized boxes.
  • Reserve the elevator and parking if necessary.
  • Decide what you are not going to take (we always accumulate more things than we really need). Therefore, start at least three weeks before the move.
  • Think of having a garage sale. Deliver clothes to the second hand store.
  • Place heavy objects in smaller boxes.
  • Use bubble wrap when packing fragile items, such as china, crystal, stereo systems, etc.
  • Always secure box bottom with good quality tape. Always tape boxes shut.
  • Use a black felt marker to label your boxes according to contents - on sides and top (this will save time when unpacking).
  • Draw a THICK arrow to indicate way up.
  • Remove light bulbs from lamps.
  • When disassembling furniture, keep all nuts and bolts taped to it.
  • Do not forget to send your change of address cards.
  • Ensure the cable, phone and utilities are disconnected, and your final meter readings are taken.
  • 75% of your packing should be finished a week before your move
  • During the last week pack from least-to-most important.
  • Have all your packing done a day before your move.
  • At your new home, label your rooms, so our movers can quickly identify item destination.
  • If you can, move in the middle of the month - remember our mid month special!
