PACKING GUIDELINES

Helpful Tips for your Inventory:

•  A complete inventory will be required for your shipment
•  Each box and piece of furniture must be marked with a number (removable stickers are
   the best) and listed on an inventory
•  The contents of boxes should read "kitchen supplies", "books", "clothes" etc. on the inventory.
•  Boxes packed by our customers should also be labeled "PBO" (packed by owner).

Our self- packing kit includes an inventory form and removal stickers to make this process easier.

Helpful Tips for Packing Boxes:

•  Make sure the contents of all boxes are carefully wrapped
•  Seal the seams of all boxes with strapping tape
•  Pack similar items together
•  Try to distribute weight evenly amongst boxes
•  Pack heavy items in small boxes. Tape the bottoms well.
•  Make sure your boxes are strong enough to support the weight of other boxes being stacked on top of them.
•  Label your boxes as you pack them with where they belong in your new home.

Helpful Tips for Furniture:

•  Furniture should be wrapped with corrugated cardboard and/or old sheets, blankets
   and/or towels.
•  Pay particular attention to delicate areas such as the tops of furniture and legs.
•  Bookshelves should be removed and wrapped separately.
•  Dresser, desk, cabinet drawers should be emptied and the contents should be boxed separately. This makes moving the piece easier, and is required for custom clearance at port of destination.
•  Glass shelves and tops should be wrapped with plastic bubble wrap.
