Various Ways to Tape

There are special methods of securing and taping your boxes in preparation for relocating, some are more efficient than others. Some movers use the "H" taping method. This involves taping down the center of the box between the flaps and also the edges, creating the letter "H".

Notify Others of Your Address Change

Prior to your move, there are certain people, offices, and businesses you should notify about your address change outside 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 old address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a short amount of time, so it's best that you notify everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in touch with include: your utility provider.

How To Move Your Firearms

Since the "Brady Bill" law in 1994, carriers under contract are permitted to ship firearms for their customers. Unsurprisingly, the service obligates prospective customers to follow detailed guidelines. Guns must be emptied of all ammunition and the details of every weapon (make, model, and serial number) has to be included in the inventory. Also, carriers will not transport your ammunition for you. The client is held accountable for that. It's always a smart plan to read up on local state legislation on the guidelines and limitations regarding weapon security.
