All we do is provide the container for you to pack your things in and transport them to your new home. You get the ability to pack and unpack at your own pace, helping you move without any pain or extra work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Double Tape Your Cardboard Boxes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If using cardboard boxes to pack your things, make sure to double-tape the bottom to ensure the contents don\u2019t fall out of the bottom during the packing process. This is especially important if your items are heavy.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Secure Fragile Items With Paper and Bubble Wrap: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding paper at the bottom of a box when packing fragile items can keep items from getting damaged during the transportation process. Once the paper is added, wrap the items in a secure material, such as bubble wrap or moving blankets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Store Furniture Hardware in Labeled Ziplock Bags: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have furniture that has to be disassembled in order to move, make sure to keep track of the hardware. Ziplock baggies are the perfect place to store nails, screws, bolts, etc., and can be easily labeled!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>MARK. IT. ALL.: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permanent markers will be your best friend during the moving process. In order to keep track of what you packed where, use a Sharpie or permanent marker to clearly label any boxes, containers, or bags that you are using to pack away your belongings. As Leticia says, \u201cYou always have to label, label, label, label EVERYTHING!\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Think About Cost: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When deciding how to proceed with your move, cost is an important thing to think about.
