Keep your stuff safe
Almost all damage during moving occurs because of improperly packed boxes. Consider the following suggestions when packing your boxes for pick up and storage:
Pack evenly
To insure the safety of your items and to avoid breaking your box, we suggest that you distribute your heavier items evenly througout all of your boxes.
Pack fragile items securely
Place your fragile items in the center of your boxes with soft items such as clothes and blankets surrounding them. make sure that the fragile items are snug in place and can not shift around.
Properly close and tape your boxes
When building and sealing your DormRoomMovers.com box follow our included instructions on taping and closing. You should use three strips of the provided tape for both the top and the bottom of the box.
Specific Items packing tips
Refrigerator:
Unplug your refrigerator at least a couple days before your selected move out day. This is to ensure that it has completely defrosted. Wrap the cord up and place the bundle securely behind the coils. Make sure to secure the drawers and shelves (especially glass ones) inside as they may shift during the move.
Television:
Wrap your television in moving blankets or towels and place it inside of an outer box. Make sure that the television is secured and does not shift inside of the box. Also make sure that nothing is putting pressure on the screen of the TV.
Futon:
Wrap your mattress in plastic in order to keep the dust out. We will label your futon for you.
Desks and furnature:
Make sure to cover the finished surfaces of your furniture with either plastic or cardboard. Empty your items and secure all of the drawers so that they do not open during the move.
Shelves:
Remove any separable shelves and tape them together tightly. Pack any hardware inside one of your boxes.
Luggage and trunks:
Lock or tape your luggage securely so that it does not open during the move.
Rugs
Roll your rug tightly and tape it securely in at least 3 places. Wrap it in plastic if you would like to keep the dust out.
