ATTICS / BASEMENTS
& GARAGES
These places are usually
"catch-alls" for many loose items. Please pack these things in boxes and label
them. Here are a few more tips on having these areas ready for us to
move:
- Use boxes, not bags.
- Tape yard tools together.
- Pull items out of crawl spaces and from under the
eaves.
- We cannot transport fuel, gas, paint, propane, or other
flammable materials.
- Shelving and other installed items that are to be moved
should be removed from walls prior to our arrival.
- We cannot go up "pull-down" stairs to remove or place
items in an attic. (We can help you do this if
previous arrangements have been made.)
PACKING &
LABELING Please follow these guidelines:
- Use quality boxes and tape (no duct or masking tape
please).
We can sell and deliver the packing materials
you may need.Mover-provided cartons may prevent damage
that results from the use of poor-quality packing materials.
- Use paper to wrap fragile items.
- Use small boxes for heavy items such as books, magazines,
and record albums.
- Tape all boxes closed, no flap folding.
- Label the tops of boxes as to which room they will
go.
- Label fragile boxes that are truly fragile.
- All pictures, lamps and shades must be boxed, if you want
us to move them.
- All hang-up clothes must he boxed. With prior notice, you
can rent wardrobe boxes from us on moving day.
- Do not water plants for at least 3 days before moving
day.
Please Note:
Incorrect packing is the prime cause of damages. When you've done it
right, the box should weigh no more than 50 pounds, the sides shouldn't bulge,
and the top should close without caving in. Fill in empty space with paper if
needed and take out items if the top won't close. Keep in mind that the heavier
the items, the smaller the box should be.
