Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth, hassle-free move. Boulder All Star Movers specializes in relocating residential and commercial goods, providing protection for your furniture. However, personal items like kitchenware, clothing and smaller belongings must be packed by you in boxes or closed containers. Follow these tips to ensure proper packing:
Personal Items: Box, crate or securely enclose all personal items. Use bubble wrap and packing paper to prevent damage during transit. Avoid placing fragile items like glass or electronics in boxes without protection.
Clothing: Use wardrobe boxes, suitcases or sealed bags to pack clothing. Avoid using plastic bags, as they can cause creases. For high-value items like suits or dresses, use a suitcase or wardrobe box.
Electronics: Unplug all devices and pack cords separately. Transport fragile electronics like phones and laptops in your personal vehicle if possible. If not, use their original boxes or extensive padding.
Televisions and Monitors: Use the original box or purchase a TV box for added protection. If these aren’t available, we’ll wrap them in blankets on moving day. Additionally, our moving staff will have a tv box you are able to purchase.
Appliances: Disconnect water lines, cords and cables before we arrive. While we can assist with disconnections, this will add time to the move.
Furniture: Empty all drawers and cabinets before the move. Remove legs, handles, and knobs from wooden furniture to prevent damage.
Additional Tips for Specific Furniture:
Dressers: Secure drawers, remove small parts and avoid using tape directly on the wood. Remove legs and handles when possible.
Mattresses and Box Springs: Our crews will use mattress bags for protection.
Bookshelves: Empty and secure shelves.
Rugs: Roll tightly and secure with stretch wrap. Our crews are able to assist with this.
Sofas: Remove and bag cushions. Disassemble any removable parts and label them for easy reassembly.
Hutches and China Cabinets: Remove contents and shelves. Wrap china in bubble wrap and pack vertically in boxes.
