Manhattan Moving Services - Moving Tips
- Tape the bottom of every box, and tape the top closed to tightly when the boxes full.
- Run two strips of tape along the side and one strip down the center. (If the box is still not strong enough, apply more tape to the sides.)
- Use small boxes for heavier items and larger boxes for light-weight bulky items.
- Wrap small/or fragile items individually.
- Stuff the top, bottom and sides of boxes with paper. (This prevents shifting, rubbing, and possible breakage.)
- Pack boxes to the top. This prevents them from being crushed when they are stacked.
- Stuff boxes with fragile items with wads of paper. (Do not pack items to tightly, however when you shake the box the contents should not move.)
- For your ease, number each box and make a list of what is in each one. This will make me unpacking process much smoother. You may want to make a note on the box as to which room in belongs.
- Make an inventory of your property.
- Movers NYC does not accept liability and will not move certain items.
Attention: DO NOT PACK the following items: money, securities, valuable papers or jewelry. Keep these items with you at all times. Alternatively, you may prefer to leave these items in a security deposit box at the bank. Also, such things as Flammable Liquids, Aerosol cans, paint, gasoline, etc. as well as perishable items such is frozen foods, produce plants, etc. were never meant to be transported on a moving van.
