- Pack heavy items in small boxes and light items in large boxes.
- Insect eggs and insects such as roaches can travel in food boxes. Keep
this in mind when getting boxes from food stores.
- Allow refrigerators and freezers to defrost at least 24-hours prior to
loading and wipe dry. To avoid unpleasant odors in your refrigerator, place
a nylon stocking filled with charcoal, fresh ground coffee, or baking soda
in each compartment. Donate or give away foods & perishables.
- Disconnect computers, stereo systems, and other electronics. If moving
professionally, the driver has the right to request the operation of these
items in his presence to ensure that items are in proper working order.
- Discard your grill's propane tank or have it professionally emptied and
tagged. Do the same with air tanks.
- Drain lawn mowers and other small gas engines of oil and gas.
- Items in attics, crawl spaces, and at remote locations should be brought
to an accessible area.
- Use pre-printed labels on each box so you know where each box belongs.
- Pack lamp shades in their own box to prevent damage
- Use the boxyourstuff.com's shipping box to pack mirrors
- Do not plan to travel the day of the move. Plan to travel the day after
the move and pack what you are taking with you two days before the move. Leave
your telephone and electricity hooked-up until the day after loading.
