When you're packing

​

• Tape the bottom of your boxes

• Fill boxes so they can close and tape shut

• Be aware how heavy you're packing boxes, movers use hand-trucks, but without proper reinforcement, a box can still break out the bottom. 

• Avoid using thin plastic bags or paper sacks

• Keep a path clear so movers can easily get in and out

• Wrap breakable items

• Mark the location of each box to help you and the movers determine where it goes upon arrival to your new residence.
