Kary Movers Limited: Moving tips

Hi, my name is John I'm with Kary Movers Limited just like to go over a few helpful tips and hints to help you come move day one of the most important things you can do to help yourself to save you time stress and money is proper packing professional packers usually like to use a standard box like this one here it's a two cubic foot and roughly the size of a microwave that's great for your heavier items like books, CDs, that sort of thing then we go to the next step up which is our four cubic foot box roughly the size of a small nightstand and these are better for linens sort of bulkier stuff if you have vases of course you can wrap that in the clothes and put it in that box nice and secure wardrobe boxes are essential come move day simply a matter of taking all your hanging clothes from your closets and putting them right onto this bar here keeps them in order nice neat and clean fold that up and tape it for the move itself what we like to use for our packing is the blank newsprint this is excellent, keeps your dishes nice and clean provides lots of packing and also much easier to clean up than packing peanuts, that sort of nature of product, there what we'd like to see when packing is fill your boxes right to the top even if you have to use a couple extra pieces of newsprint we like to see it nice and firm to the top without over stuffing them then you tape them up like to see a nice flat tape job here instead of folding the flaps and that will definitely help us load the truck a little bit easier as well if you're more of a hands on person you can take apart beds, take the mirrors off dressers, legs off tables, that sort of thing and that'll speed up the move as well moving companies are usually fine with leaving clothes in the dressers this will save you some packing and unpacking and save us trips up and down the stairs with extra boxes as the movers finish loading you do wanna take one last walk through make sure that we collected everything that you wish to be taken when you get to the drop-off address please try to remain accessible to the movers so you can direct the them to where you want the stuff placed throughout the house
