Frequently Asked Questions - Moving
By William Davis from: In and Out Moving Co.
Some of the most Frequently Asked Questions to movers are about packing boxes. Here are some of my best moving tips to answer those frequently asked questions regarding packing boxes for your movers.
Check to make sure that boxes are sealed properly:
Boxes should close properly at the top and bottom, without bulging. This will allow them to stack properly in the truck, and allows the movers to transport them more efficiently.
Consider the weight of boxes: The heavier the contents of the box, the smaller the box should be. In general, boxes should not exceed 20 or 30 pounds.
Handling glass: Plate glass should be wrapped in cardboard, or padded.
Organizing boxes for the movers: Boxes stacked in one pile or area, will allow movers to clear them out faster and to better organize fragile boxes.
Keeping the boxes consistent: Moves trend to go way faster when boxes are the same size, or sizes. It becomes easier to transport to the truck, allows them to stack more efficiently.
Packing dishes and fragile wares properly: Make sure all dishes, cups, and glass are packaged properly. All should be wrapped in paper or bubble wrap, and there should be no room for them to move in the box.
