Helpful Moving Tips
To help you consider all of the important elements in your office relocation, we offer the following advice:
Some tips on how to prepare your office for the move:
Small Items
Make sure to remove all items from bookcases, desks, wall units and shelves, and pack them securely in boxes.
Filing Cabinets
Do not empty the filing cabinets. Just make sure that they are locked or securely fastened. We will shrink wrap them during transport. This will save time packing and unpacking.
Personal Possessions
Make sure to move all personal possessions yourself – legal papers, money, checks, pictures, plants, crystals, and other. Movers will not assume any responsibility for those items. You can however ask them for advice on how to pack those items, or purchase any special containers.
Desks
Empty your desks before the move. Pack all contents in boxes. Loose materials and small items should be sealed in plastic bags or envelopes and then put in boxes with other items.
Security Files
Keep your security files locked during the move. If security regulations require escorts, make special arrangements with your moving company prior to move.
Moving electrical machinery
Electrical machinery requires special attention when moving:
Photocopy Machines: Remove all fluids from the photocopy machines.
Vending Machines: Remove all items from the vending machines.
Water Dispensers: Empty water from any water dispensers.
Rented Equipment: If you are renting any of your equipment, make sure you notify your rental company before the day of the move. We are proud members of both.
