Packing Day Tips
Keep your home phone number connected, it is important that we are able to keep in touch with you during the course of your relocation.
Plan to be at home and make yourself available to the movers the entire day of packing, if possible.
Packing times vary depending on the amount of packing that is required for your move.
For the comfort of the children, it is often helpful to have them stay with friends or relatives during the relocation process.
Have your refrigerator emptied and defrosted prior to loading day. Pack day is the perfect day to accomplish this!
If the packers are to pack high value items, such as silver, works of art, furs, etc., ask the packers to call you to view the packing of these particular items.
Please do not leave items such as money, jewelry, coin collections, etc. to be packed by the packers. These items should be transported by you. Palmer Moving & Storage does not accept responsibility for these items, and ask that they are not amongst the items to be packed.
Segregate items to be carried in your car and items you will need until after the loading process has been complete so that the packers do not pack them in error. This would include any prescription medication, documents needed for closing at destination, and any other important paperwork you will need during the course of your relocation.
The packers will not pack any perishable food items, flammables, aerosols or corrosive liquids. This includes house paint, cleaners, fire extinguishers, etc. Please make other arrangements for the transportation of these items, should you decide to take them with you.
House plants are very sensitive to environmental changes, and the risks associated with moving them are high. Many states prohibit the transportation of plants.
Palmer Moving & Storage can not accept liability for the demise of transported plants, nor can they care for them if storage should be required. It is best to find another home for your plants and purchase replacement plants for your new residence.
