Packing Requirements

Here's everything you need to know.
Check off items as you go.

Pack

Any items that don’t fit in a box (such as a mini-fridge, fan, furniture, etc.) CAN also be stored as is.

Return any unused boxes.
Giving boxes to friends will result in charges to your account.

Additional fees may apply if boxes are not fully closed.

Lightweight plastic drawers aren't built to bear weight and can come apart in transport. However you may tape the drawers together to count them as a single medium item.

Heavy-duty totes?
Hard-sided storage containers with locking lids are fine to store with stuff inside.
Not sure if yours qualifies? Send us a photo and we'll let you know.

During transport drawers can slide open and doors swing around.

Residual water can leak onto your other items in storage, and any food left may spoil.

TV screens are easily cracked during moving and storage. Purchase a TV box or a $75 fee will be charged.

We recommend to purchase a mattress bag to protecting it from dirt, dust and moisture.

If you purchased any of these packing supplies, here's how to get the most out of each one.

Use bubble wrap for fragile items

  • Wrap glassware, mugs, picture frames, electronics, etc.
  • Wrap items with the bubble side facing in (touching the item). Use at least two layers for anything truly fragile.
  • Tape the wrap closed so it does not slide off.

Use plastic wrap to secure and protect

  • Stretch it tight and wrap in overlapping layers - it clings to itself without leaving residue
  • Wrap any furture items to protect from scratches and dust
  • Keep furniture doors shut and secure cords attached to electronics

Use packing paper for wrapping and filling empty space.

  • Wrap dishes, decorations, and small fragile items individually
  • Crumple extra paper to fill open space inside boxes
  • Do not leave large gaps. Movement inside the box is what causes most damage.
