Taping Techniques

There can be special methods of securing and taping your boxes to prepare for loading, some are more professional than others. Some moving companies use the "H" taping method,that involves taping down the middle of the box between the flaps and also the edges, creating the an "H" shape.

Notify Others of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are certain companies, people, and local offices you should notify about your address change other than your family. The most evident is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where basically, any mail that is sent to your old address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a limited time, so it's a good idea that you inform everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in contact with include: your telephone, cable, water, and electric.

Packing Your Tools

If you own possessions that run on gasoline or oil like your mechanical machines or home improvement tools, remember to drain them prior to having the movers load the items. This is a fundamental safety precaution that you need to consider. Hand tools need little management; you can just place them in your tool box. Just be sure to load up the empty spaces with filling material such as Styrofoam to protect your tools from moving during the move.
