If moving your belongings requires use of an elevator, please notify the building manager and reserve the elevator. This will prevent complications, as well as insure your moving schedlue stays on track. Please let us know what hours are reserved for the movers and we will schedule accordingly.

Suggestions for Packing Your Belongings

IMPORTANT: Small items of value, such as jewelry, coins, and expensive breakable objects should not be placed in the moving van. Keep them with you. Likewise, keep all of your medication handy and with you.

• You will always want to use sturdy cartons with tops and pack them within a manageable weight. This will make it easier for you to unpack and move boxes from room to room.
• Please use small boxes for books; boxes should be no larger than 12" x 12" x 18".
• You will want to tape boxes closed and clearly label each one to show where it will go when delivered to your destination.
• Don't use plastic bags, open containers, or baskets to pack your goods.
• Always empty file cabinets and desk drawers, and pack contents into small boxes.
• If possible please disassemble your beds, mirrors, stereos, TVs, VCRs, washers and dryers when possible to save time.
• Before moving, empty drawers of all heavy or breakable items.
• If you are taking your draperies and curtains with you, take them down along with wall hangings and pictures.
• Plese keep breakable items together in one place and mark the containers "Fragile."
• Never pack perishable food items. If you do, move them quickly in your own vehicle.

For long distance moves we suggest donating the pershible food items to The Gospel Rescue Mission, The Salvation Army, or your chosen not for profit organization. Upon our arrival at your current residence , please tell us of any special requests you may have and review the driver's paperwork before the move begins.
