HOW MUCH ADVANCE NOTICE DO YOU NEED TO SCHEDULE MY MOVE? - The general rule of thumb is, the earlier the better. For long distance moves the more notice we have, the more likely it is that your items will arrive on the date you have planned. If you are moving locally the same rule applies but we can generally get it done with a little less notice.

MAY I PACK MY OWN DISHES AND IF SO DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS? - It has been our experience that a great majority of people prefer having their delicate items handled by the professionals. If your prefer to pack yourself we say go for it. We can assist you with Boxes and Packing Supplies. Here are a few pointers to help you out.

Wrap glasses and stemware individually with inkless newsprint.
Provide plenty of room between each item in the carton. Pack plenty of loose paper between items to prevent them from banging into one another.
Place heavier items in the bottoms of the cartons
Stack boxes across first, then upward, placing the heaviest boxes on the bottom to avoid crushing and toppling.
Create a carton or two for "Necessities" Include a phone book for the new destination, list of things to do, Baby and childrens items, and anything else you can't live without. Make sure that these boxes are the last thing on the truck so that they will be the first thing off. If you are traveling a distance you might consider keeping these things with you.

Be sure you pack jewelry and other valuables to prevent them from being lost in the cracks and crevices.
