Moving companies offer so much more today than what was available in the old days. Back then, you had to worry whether your breakables would arrive in one piece after they were tossed around by every neighborhood boy that offered to help load it into the back of a pickup. Most of us remember those moving days filled with dread, sweat and tears as we moved all those belongings from one place to another by using baskets or whatever we had to get the job done.
Usually, by the end of the move there was always something broken. Now you no longer have to worry about your worldly possessions. Today's moving companies offer a wide variety of cartons and crates for every conceivable item that you move. Not only do they offer these for your convenience, they also offer services that alleviate all those broken backs. This move, try letting someone else handle the load so you don't have to.
Most movers will box your belongings as well as move them. If you're not comfortable with this, you can also pack them on your own. If you decide to pack them yourself, you can find an array of supplies to help you pack. Moving companies usually include the price for packing into their estimates if you choose for them to do it. If you decide to do it on your own, they usually charge extra for these supplies unless arrangements were already made when the estimate was done. You can find tape, shrink-wrap, security pads, packing paper, cartons and crates available through your mover.
When using cartons and crates, finding the right size that meets your needs can be frustrating. Moving companies offer different sizes and different types to assure you of the right fit. For your kitchen, you can find dishpaks for all those dishes and you won't have to worry about having to wrap each one. These unique boxes have slots for each plate and cup.
For your bedroom, you can find wardrobe cartons and mattress cartons. With wardrobe cartons, the box sits upright and opens from the top and side to easily transfer your clothes from your closet into the box. It has a bar across the top to keep your clothes from falling into the box preventing wrinkles. Mattress cartons are available and range from crib size to king size to keep them clean while moving.
Ordinary packing crates are available also. Boxes come in sizes small, medium and large and will make your moving experience so much better than using those old baskets.
