Empty drawers
Questions about our moving services? Let’s get in touch! We focus on providing the absolute highest quality of service possible, so please contact us using the information on this page and we’ll respond ASAP to provide assistance.
Wrap your glass
Be sure to properly wrap glass, dish ware and other delicate items with packing paper, newspaper, or other soft materials when you place them into boxes. Even when very carefully handled and stacked in our truck, NYC streets are rough and items inside boxes can rattle against each other, so please make sure the delicates are properly padded!
Reasonable box weight
Our guys are strong, but please keep the weight of the boxes within reason. Books, magazines, records and other heavy items should be placed in smaller sized boxes. Please don’t pack large sized boxes with these type of items.
Bags
We recommend that you only pack soft items into bags, such as pillows, mats, and towels. Please pack fragile items (glass, dish ware, lampshades) and heavy duty kitchen items or cookware in a box.
Boxes VS. Bags
Bags are great for soft items like pillows, mats, and towels. At times we run into situations where nearly all the packed items have been placed in small bags rather than large sturdy bags or boxes, and we definitely want to avoid this. It can cause many unnecessary trips up and down those stairs, causing delays.
Packing your clothes
Generally dresser clothes are better in boxes, but if you use bags make sure they’re heavy duty. Suitcases are also great for packing the clothes from dresser drawers. Wardrobe boxes are great for hanging clothes that you don’t want to get wrinkled during the move. You can also use a large plastic bag over the clothes and poke the hanger ends through the bottom of the bag.
Use proper tape
Use proper packing tape to tape both the bottom and the top of your boxes. Please don’t use duct tape to pack your boxes.
Miscellaneous items
Miscellaneous items should be placed in boxes or bags. If these items will not fit in boxes or bags that’s okay, but please list these items if they were not accounted for in the original list.
Keep things separate
If possible try to keep things organized and together. Try to stack bags and boxes separately from other furniture so our guys don’t end up tripping over small items when carrying heavy furniture out the door. Please remove clutter from the items we will be moving.
