Moving Tips...
  1     2     3
Carry with you all currency, jewelry and valuable papers, movers will not accept responsibility for articles of extraordinary value. Unless credit is arranged, your move manager will require payment by Cash, Cheque, Visa, or Mastercard upon the completion of your move. Refrigerators and freezers should be defrosted and allowed to dry at least one full day prior to the move.

Before moving, dispose of hazardous materials since the movers will not accept such goods on the van - oily mops and rags, combustible or corrosive liquids, explosives, flammables or compressed gases, paints, propane tanks, bleach, etc. Only leave soft goods in dresser drawers. If you plan to do your own packing start well in advance of moving day; this avoids the last minute packing rush and strain.

Identify the contents of each carton you pack for easy unpacking. Towels and pillows may be packed in dresser drawers. We suggest larger mirrors, glass tables tops, and valued paintings be crated by the movers.

Cartons, when packed should weigh not more than 50 to 60 pounds. All cartons should be taped securely. Pack lampshades in cartons by themselves.
  13     14     15
Do not wrap books, lampshades, linens in newsprint. The print will rub off. Don't leave trays, etc. loose in refrigerator and stove. You can use clean tea towels or tissue to pack lampshades and avoid soiling.

Toasters, waffle irons, small radios, should be wrapped individually and packed firmly in the bottom of a box or carton. Wardrobes are ideal for moving drapes. They are spread out, folded and placed on hangers, and pinned below the hanger so they will not slip off. When marking cartons we suggest you mark contents both on top and on the side for easy identification.

Avenue Moving can offer fine safe storage facilities for your valued goods. Dismantling of beds and setting up, is part of Avenue Moving's service. Go through the house with the move manager when he comes to your home, giving any special instructions you may have.

On moving day check closets, attic, basement and garage to make sure all wanted items are taken on the van. Furniture that is extremely fragile may require crating for safe shipment .i.e. Marble table tops. Tie brooms, mop handles and curtain rods in bundles.

It is not necessary to empty dresser drawers, but remove all fragile and heavy items and all liquids. Leave furniture as it presently is in your home. Our trained crews can load your effects faster and easier this way, than if it is placed in one room. Do not wrap furniture with paper or cloth, or use rope or twine on any articles of furniture.

Power tools, such as lathes, saws, grinders, should be dismantled for safe moving. Make sure to drain such items as outboard motors and power mowers. Any fixtures fastened to the wall ( drapery tracks, electrical, etc.) should be taken down for the movers.

Avenue Moving will confirm all aspects of our services by letter. Wardrobes are available to hang your suits and dresses full length as they do in your closet. Take a telephone book with you, it will come in handy for checking addresses etc.

Items not being moved (such as luggage ) should be kept separate so they will not be loaded in error. Never pack articles above top of containers. Advise the van driver of any articles you may require first in your new home so that they may be loaded accordingly.
