| 1. Most people underestimate the number of boxes and time needed for packing. |
| Start early and be prepared with extra supplies so that you do not fall short. |
| 2. The following packing supplies are suggested: Cartons of various sizes, Tape, |
| Packing paper, Bubble wrap, Large markers, Small bags for hardware, Large |
| clear bags for pillows, cushions, stuffed animals, and other non-breakable items. |
| 3. Mark top of boxes with placement (room/floor going to) using large black markers. |
| 4. Mark boxes "Fragile" or "Glass" if applicable with large red markers. |
| 5. Place hardware from furniture in plastic bags and tape to the underside of the unit |
| or in drawers (out of the movers way). Do not tape drawers / doors shut. This |
| can damage your furniture. Our movers will use stretch-wrap for this as needed. |
| 6. Back up files before packing computers. Use factory (heavyweight) boxes to pack |
| electronics and appliances. Do not pack multiple heavy items in any one box. |
| 7. Pack heavy, non-breakable items at the bottom of boxes. Pack less fragile items on |
| top this, with lighter items on top. Fragile items should be boxed individually or with |
| lightweight items only. Layer the top and bottom of the box with cushion (wadded |
| paper, pillows, towels, etc.). "Fragile" boxes should not "rattle" when moved. |
| 8. Pack flat breakables: pictures, mirrors, shelves, trays, plates, platters, large serving |
| dishes in an upright position (on their side). Do not pack these items laying flat. |
| 9. Wrap large pictures in blankets (cell pads if you have them) and then slide inside a |
| a flat, un-made box (picture box if you have one). You can cut and fold most boxes |
| to fit as needed. Tape all open seams and mark: "Painting" or "Glass". |
| 10. Keep in mind, that you are responsible for what and how you pack. Movers are not |
| responsible for damages resulting from improperly packed or taped boxes. |
| 11. Do not pack the following for movers to move or store: perishables, hazardous |
| materials, paints, cleansers, chemicals, solvents, insecticides, weapons or ammo, |
| combustibles, flammables, aerosols, oils, liquids, fluids, batteries, matches or |
| candles. Damages caused by/or to these items is not covered. This also includes |
| any articles of extraordinary value, documents, or specie including: money, |
| jewelry, coin or stamp collections, etc. which are not covered under the movers |
| liability insurance unless specifically excepted in writing by the mover (estimator). |
| Remove above items from areas to be packed/moved prior to the movers arrival. |
| 12. If you are moving long distance or have two or more moving companies Involved, |
| we recommend numbering your boxes and making an inventory list. |
|

| Note: If you are not familiar with packing this type of box, consider |
| packing china, crystal, and very fragile items in a small to |
| medium size box instead. Dish cartons are very heavy when |
| fully packed and crushing can occur from improper packing. |
| Wardrobe Boxes- Hanging clothes, coats and suits. |
