Moving companies in the Denver area provide a range of different services for the people they move. This can include a full packing and unpacking services, assistance with planning the move, and in storing your items if there is a delay in the relocation timeline.
It is not uncommon for people moving out of Denver to pack the content of their home. For long distance moves, in particular, there are a few ways that homeowners can make the moving process easier for the residential movers and also safer for their possessions.
Good Quality Packing Materials
One of the challenges residential movers often face on moving day is the choice of boxes and packing materials their customers have made. Old boxes are always a problem as they are more likely to collapse or fail, resulting in the contents spilling out no matter how carefully they are handled.
To avoid this issue, invest in quality moving supplies for any breakable or heavy items. While boxes are important, so is the use of packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and packing paper to fully protect items during transit. In the trucks, the items do move in the box, and they can rub with the vibration of the truck, but the use of adequate packing prevents scratches, rubs, and other types of damage.
Do Not Overpack Boxes
Avoid packing boxes that are more than about 50 pounds in weight. As a general rule, if you can lift and carry the box on your own, the experienced residential movers can easily handle the box. Boxes that are too heavy are more likely to break when lifted, and they are also harder for you to move in the new location.
Be sure to label all boxes in a way that is consistent and easy to see. They should have the room, your name, and a box number out of the total. This makes it easy to check inventory loading and unloading, helping to reduce the risk of boxes left on the truck.
