Top 3 Household Items Packing Companies Make It Easier to Move

Leave the following valuables to professional packing companies, and save your back and your wallet.

There are certain items you should leave to packing companies to secure during your next move. Overly delicate or bulky, hard-to-pack items will quickly become the worst part of your move if you let them. Find a way to not deal with items like that and you won’t end up cranky or unhappy at your move’s end.

If you hire professionals to complete the move, all your items will be carefully packed and shipped, leaving you without the headache. The move will be over before you know it.

1. Mirrors

Leave mirrors of all kinds to packing companies to preserve. Professional movers have special knowledge of methods and techniques to help keep these items safe during even the bumpiest rides. If one does happen to break, your mover’s insurance will cover the loss.

2. Plates

Most homeowners pad their plates with tissue paper or newsprint, but movers have special shipping containers for glassware and fine china. Their containers cushion each piece and allow for shifting. To purchase or rent such containers yourself would probably cost you more than just hiring the whole job out.

3. Incidentals

Sometimes it’s best to call in the pros when you aren’t sure how to pack an item. It may turn out that you need to make special arrangements, as sometimes moving companies are legally can’t carry certain items. Moving companies can supply you with a list of prohibited items if you are packing on your own, or just have them do the packing and save the headache.
