>> Use the right boxes, and pack them carefully.
Try to use only sturdy, reinforced cartons.
Free boxes you can get at your supermarket are not nearly as strong,
so can't shield your valuables as well from harm in transit.
>> Use sheets, blankets, pillows and towels to separate pictures and
other fragile objects from each other and the sides of the carton.
>> Pack plates and glass objects vertically,
rather than flat and stacked.
Label those boxes clearly as **fragile items **
>> If you can't lift the carton easily, it's too heavy.
>> Label your boxes, especially the one containing sheets
and towels, so you can find everything you need the first night
in your new home.
>> You can lighten your load and reduce any storage space
you need to rent by hosting a garage or yard sale.
>> Fill a "MUST" carton containing snacks, instant coffee or tea bags,
soap, toilet paper, toothpaste and brushes, medicine and toiletry items
(ensure caps are tightly secured), flashlight, screwdriver, pliers,
can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils, a pan or two,
paper towels, and other items your family can't do without.
>> Let all your electrical gadgets return to room temperature
before plugging them in.
>> Read the inventory form carefully, and ask the mover to
explain anything you don't understand.
Make a note of your shipment's registration number, and keep your
Bill of Lading handy.
