Moving Tips

---

· If possible, book your moving services well ahead to secure your idea moving date.

· Reserve ample parking for the truck. In the winter, be sure to have the parking area and walkways clear of snow and ice. If you live on a tight street where parking might be a problem for the truck,  simply call the city parking enforcement and they will set you up with a permit if necessary. 

· Notify the building management of your moving day/time, reserve the elevator.

· Prepare an “Unload First” carton with essentials that you’ll need immediately at your new home (Essential Items). Include a bag filled with hardware from disassembled items, such as dresser mirrors and beds.

· Try to keep boxes to 50 pounds or less and always lift with your legs. Tape the bottom of all boxes to make certain they will hold your belongings.

· Pack books flat, not standing on end (which may cause damage to the spines). Books are extremely heavy, so don’t pack too many in one box.

· Items that can’t be moved with us include: flammable items, combustible items, aerosol cans, hazardous materials (Items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive)
