Prepare Well and Protect Your Stuff: Things to Know Before You Move

Your possessions are valuable to you. Before All My Sons Moving puts them on the truck, here are some important things to consider:

Don't Put Your Irreplaceables on the Moving Truck

Have an important family heirloom or rare colletor's item that you cannot replace? Don't put it on the truck. Many moving companies prohibit this, and, in any case, it's wise to keep such items with you so that you can ensure their safety.

Label Your Boxes

Have a fragile item? Transporting sensitive electronic equipment? Label your boxes "Fragile" on all visible surfaces of the box. If certain items must be kept upright, label which side ought to be up so that your All My Sons movers can protect your goods accordingly.

Pack Well

Don't pack haphazardly. Pad fragile items carefully and don't store incompatible items in the same box. In fact, if you can, consider having your goods packed professionally by All My Sons. We have years of experience in the packing business and can ensure the safe packing of your household items

Pack Room By Room

In addtion to padding your important items, it helps to pack room by room. That way, when the boxes are delivered, it's easier to know where the boxes ought to go. It also makes it easier to unpack, as each box has been situated where it needs to be in your new home.
