MOVING CONTAINERS
LOOK FOR STURDY AND WATERPROOF CONTAINERS

Checklist
Whether you have movers supply them or you buy them yourself, get sturdy containers that also will keep moisture and bugs out in the event some items will go in storage or sit outside for a time (see more below);

Questions
Use the expertise of movers on how best to pack the containers. Never load heavier items onto lighter ones and use extra caution with things like glass.

Inspection
Check each container before it is moved so that the lid is on properly and there are no cracks on the sides or bottoms where moisture could get in.
-
Preparation
Do not overload containers to the point where they could spill and/or you or a mover could be injured when transporting them.
-
Safe Arrival
All containers should be inspected at the new location for any damages. If you find damage, be sure to file a claim as soon as possible.
