Self Packing – When is it the Right Choice
Although the recommendation is always to allow the moving and relocation company to perform full packing services for you, in some cases, especially for smaller moves, self packing is definitely an option.
In this post, we will take a look at some helpful Self Packing tips that will assist you with the process of self packing.
Where do I get my Packing Materials from?
Packing materials can be obtained through your moving company. Alpha Moving and Storage and other professional relocation companies can perform box deliveries and deliver quality materials, such as boxes and bubble wrap to your doorstep.
Alternatively, there are many websites that specialize in packing materials and boxes and you can order online.
If you are interested in a box delivery, simply contact your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation consultant.
How do I handle the Packing Process?
There are different types of boxes for different types of packing. Both your relocation company and websites that specialize in packing materials can provide you with specially designed boxes, such as book boxes, television boxes, mattress boxes and so on.
In order to properly self pack your goods, it is recommended to order and use new packing materials and boxes. Especially for books and electronic equipment, new and sturdy boxes will do a much better job than used ones and will improve your chance of experiencing a damage free move.
If you have any doubts about how to pack items such as dishes and glass items, you can either consult with your Alpha Moving & Storage customer service representative, or check various instructional videos, which are available online.
