Moving - About Boxes |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When packing we must understand that not everything will fit in a box and as a general rule, furniture and major appliances will be wrapped and padded by moving professionals. Items requiring professional disassembly and/or crating - such as chandeliers or large glass table tops, are best left to the professionals. Using new, quality packing materials specifically designed for moving can ensure that your property arrives safely. Professional moving cartons come in a variety of shapes and sizes that are specifically suited to fit a variety of household goods.
