Our fully-trained long-distance movers understand every part of the cross-country moving process. However, before you entrust us with your move, we have some advice to help you safely and securely move all your valuable and fragile items.
Secure Packaging for Small Items
When you're packing up your smaller items, there are several supplies you can use to help keep these items safe. These packaging materials include:
- Packing Paper
- Peanuts
- Bubble Roll
- Cardboard Boxes with Dividers
In addition, when you're packing china, handbags, valuable instruments, collectible figurines, or other valuables, you'll want to be careful about where you place any packing tape you may use. Be careful not to let the tape come in contact with any of these items and their sensitive surfaces.
Hiring a professional moving company and using their packing and unpacking services can help reduce any unneeded stress.
Moving Blankets and Custom Crating for Large Items
When you're moving larger items, you want trusted movers by your side. Most professional movers use blankets as extra protection for your large valuables. They may also use plastic wrapping to protect doorways and furniture from scuffs and scratches. At Daniel's, we also create custom crates to ensure your large items don't move around during transport.
Use the Right Protection Plan
Every moving company is required by law to provide free basic valuation coverage. This coverage offers damage reimbursement based on weight. However, because valuable items tend to be lightweight, basic valuation coverage may not provide enough reimbursement to cover your loss.
If you are moving smaller valuables, such as jewelry, coins, stamps, or card collections, you may want to ask your moving company about their selection of Full Value Protection plans. You could also consider transporting these items yourself or shipping them using an insured, secure shipping service.
Consider Short-Term Storage Options
At Daniel's, we understand that moves don't always happen on schedule. If logistical issues arise, it is important to know your movers offer storage solutions to keep your belongings safe during every step of the process. We provide secure storage solutions for both the short and long term.
If you need to use our storage facility, we will keep your belongings in secure wooden vaults. We also have a climate-controlled warehouse, so your temperature-sensitive belongings won't be damaged.
