1st Choice Movers Inc : Moving Tips & Requirements

Furniture

Empty all furniture drawers, desks and file cabinets.  The extra weight of clothing and miscellaneous items is very stressful to your furniture as well as your movers.  Emptying your furniture drawers promotes easier handling and efficiency on your move.  Detaching mirrors, dining room table legs if removable, disconnecting electronics, will make your move more efficient.

Boxes

Use standard moving boxes.  Make sure all fragile boxed items are wrapped carefully and any hollow spaces are filled with crushed paper.  Close and seal the tops and bottoms of your boxes with packing tape.  Place heavier items in smaller boxes.  Label all boxes fragile, kitchen, living room, etc.

Wardrobes

Wardrobes are large boxes used to transport your hanging closet clothing.  The use of our wardrobe boxes is complimentary.  Each wardrobe can hold up to three feet of clothing.

Items restricted from transport

No combustible items (lawnmowers and snow blowers must have all gasoline removed before transporting.  We do not move gasoline, oil, paint, solvents, tires, motors, lumber and firewood.)

We do not ship items of value, such as, currency, deeds and legal documents, jewelry and rare collections.

Wardrobe boxes, shrink wrap, and floor protection is provided.  Please have walkways, hallways and sidewalks cleared.

A well prepared move lowers your moving costs and saves you time and money.
