We’ll take care of packing for you and also take a look at some of the most common mistakes people make when they pack themselves. Contact us today!
At BoxStar Movers, we take a layered approach to packing. We pack your clothing right on top of the items that need protection and cushioning first, then finally build up all your heavier boxes with crumpled paper and protective items so they don’t break anything in their path.
Here are some items that should be done by the movers: furniture disassembly and re-assembly; heavy boxes (over 50 pounds); large appliances; fragile items like china or glassware.
It's important that you plan for enough time – at least three days - if not more, so everything can be packed properly. You'll need much less time to pack up a smaller apartment or condo but it's better to give yourself more of a cushion so stress levels remain low.
Packing is an important part of the moving process because it can make the difference between a smooth, successful move and chaos
At BoxStar Movers, we take a layered approach to packing. We pack your clothing right on top of the items that need protection and cushioning first, then finally build up all your heavier boxes with crumpled paper and protective items so they don’t break anything in their path. We use sturdy materials like moving-grade cardboard boxes, shrink-wrap and bubble wrap to protect your belongings.
If you have a small move, you may want to pack yourself. Here are some items that should be done by the movers: furniture disassembly and re-assembly; heavy boxes (over 50 pounds); large appliances; fragile items like china or glassware. Some things can make your packing job easier – but there is no getting around the hard work and experience required to wrap everything securely for a longer journey. In addition to packing for a long journey, you need to pack each item so it's ready and easy to unpack.
The time it takes to pack and unpack your things depends on how much stuff you have. The more your things weigh, the longer it will take to load and unload them into trucks on both ends of a move. It's important that you plan for enough time – at least three days - if not more, so everything can be packed properly. You'll need much less time to pack up a smaller apartment or condo but it's better to give yourself more of a cushion so stress levels remain low.
