Residential Packing Tips

We offer free, durable moving boxes or you can use your own.  We understand that some people prefer to pack themselves so we have come up with a list of tips to ensure that you have the most successful packing possible.

 

  • Don’t overfill your boxes.  They should be able to close easily.
  • Pack your belongings room by room and label as you go for easier identification.
  • Tape boxes on both ends (using 2 inch tape) and at every opening.
  • Wrap fragile items in two layers of unprinted newspaper and make sure to provide extra cushioning for fragile items.
  • Do NOT use printed newspaper for china or lamp shades – the ink will damage these items.
  • By law, AAA Movers cannot transport any hazardous materials of any kind, so place them in a plastic container and transport them in your vehicle.
  • Personal valuable, such as important papers and jewelry, should be transported by customers and will not be covered by AAA Movers.
  • Start packing the items you will need first before the others.  Make sure the movers put them in last.
  • Make sure valuables are clearly marked on the box and inventoried properly by an AAA Mover Team Leader.
