Moving Companies in Oak Park

Notify Others of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are several companies, people, and local offices you should let know about your address change other than your family. The most obvious is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where for all intents and purposes, any mail that is sent to your previous address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a limited time, so it's best that you inform everyone who needs to know as soon as you can. Other companies you should get in contact with include: your utility provider.

Various Ways to Tape

There can be various methods of securing and taping your boxes in preparation for relocating, some are more practical than others. Some moving companies use the "H" taping method. This entails taping down the middle of the box between the flaps and then the edges, forming the an "H" shape.

Moving Your Guns

From the inception of the "Brady Bill" in the mid 90's, carriers under contract are permitted to transport weapons for their customers. Unsurprisingly, the service obligates prospective customers to follow precise guidelines. Guns must be emptied of all ammunition and the details of every weapon (make, model, and serial number) has to be incorporated into the inventory. Furthermore, relocation experts will not transport your ammunition for you. The client is responsible for that. It's always a wise idea to get informed with local state law on the guidelines and limitations relating gun safety.
