Although the recommended course of action is to utilize full packing services from a professional relocation service provider, you may pack some or all of your goods yourself. Self-packing means that you will pack your goods in a way that will allow the movers to safely handle them on your relocation day. This means that when goods are improperly packed, the mover may refuse to move them or will need to re-pack them. In order to avoid such a situation, it is important to utilize proper packing materials, boxes and knowledge.
Using the Correct Materials
Our strong recommendation is to use only new, sturdy and appropriate boxes and materials. The use of second hand boxes is not recommended. Remember, if the boxes you will use will not be appropriate, the mover can’t rake responsibility over potential damages to their content and may even refuse to move them.
If you decide to pack yourself, you may order new boxes and materials from various online services that will deliver them to your doorstep. You can also ask your relocation consultant about the prices Alpha Moving and Storage can offer you and arrange for a box-delivery.
Understanding the Correct Process of Packing
Use the right type of box for each item. There are various types of boxes for various types of packing. Book boxes, linen boxes, dish boxes, wardrobe boxes and so forth. You can ask your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant for more information about boxes, the packing process and the various options that our company can offer you.
