Basic Moving Tips
Quality Boxes
If you have valuable items being boxed up that are fragile, don't settle with the free boxes from your local grocery store. Those boxes are unpadded and not as sturdy as boxes that you can purchase that are designed for moving and packing. Make sure the professional moving company use reinforced boxes with your items.

Pack Carefully
Use soft blankets, covers, towels and pillows to help prevent your fragile belongings from bouncing around in your box. Make sure you pack plates and flat glass items vertically rather than stacking them on top of each other. LABEL your fragile boxes so extra care can be taken. Most of the time they will check the fragile labels and make sure they are properly packed or else they will ask you to repack.
