- Reinforce the bottom of boxes with at least one strip of packing tape.
- Pack boxes firmly to prevent the contents from shifting.
- Seal boxes tightly with wide packing tape.
- Pack records and CDs vertically!
- Don’t stack them flat, they will warp or bend!
- Place heavier items in the bottom of the box and lighter items on top.
01
Furniture & Appliances
- Rent, or purchase an appliance dolly for furniture, major appliances, and stacks of boxes.

- Wipe and dry the interiors of all appliances.
