How to Pack Fragile Items

When you hire a moving company in Plymouth, that’s one of the most important steps in any moving process. Another important step is making sure all of your fragile items are securely packed. RJ Moving, a trusted moving company, has a few tips on how to make sure all of your items get to your new house in one piece.

Fill any hollow items, like vases, with Styrofoam peanuts. Then roll it up in bubble wrap. Plates should be packed individually. Never stack plates on top of one another and then pack them! If you stack them, there is a chance that if one plate breaks, the others will too. Plates should also be packed vertically. Use small or medium boxes. That way, the boxes won’t be overly heavy and your moving company will have an easier time moving them from one location to another.

Glasses should also be individually wrapped. Wrap them in packing paper and crumble up some paper to stuff inside of them too. Make sure to layer paper in any empty spaces in the box too. This will also make things easier on your moving company.

Any pictures and frames you want to pack up should also be packed in small to medium boxes. Wrap each frame in packing paper, and stuff the boxes with extra paper as well. For larger pictures and frames, wrap a moving blanket around them and then wrap plastic wrap around the blanket. Be sure to let the moving company know what’s in there so they know to take extra special care of it.

For any items that are an unusual shape, wrap them in bubble wrap, then make sure to tape the loose ends of the bubble wrap. Then wrap it securely in some pliable cardboard. Again, tell your moving company what is in there and make sure they know to take extra care with that item.

Spring into Action: Moving Tips

Why is spring one of the most popular times of year for moving and hiring professional movers? It’s pretty easy to see why! The first advantage is the milder weather. It’s perfect: not too hot (like in the summer) and not too cold (like in the winter). So how can you ensure that you and your professional movers have the easiest and most stress-free move possible? RJ Moving has a few suggestions for you.

Take the time to do some research on the best professional movers in your area. For example, RJ Moving is one of the best professional movers in the Maple Grove area. Then start thinking about packing your belongings. The best place to start is with your cold-weather items, like jackets, scarves, winter clothes, sleds, snow shovels, etc. Be sure to keep an eye on the weather for your moving day, and make sure to have any necessary supplies for your moving day. Professional movers like RJ Moving should have all of the equipment needed to make the move smooth and hassle-free. You can keep a cooler with drinks and snacks available for hungry workers. And be sure to leave out a few toys if you have small children. That way, they will stay entertained and out of the way of the busy professional movers.

And be sure you and your family are dressed appropriately for your moving day. Wear sunglasses if it’s going to be sunny and make sure you are dressed for the outdoor air temperatures. If you and your family are comfortable, it will make your moving day easier on you and even your professional movers! Tuck aside any necessities that you might need right after you’re moved into your new home – a change of clothes, pajamas, toiletries, toilet paper, etc.

Planning for Your St Paul Commercial Movers

When it’s time for your St Paul commercial business to make a change and move locations, there is a lot to think about! It’s a stressful time, for sure. St Paul commercial movers, RJ Moving, know how it goes, and we are here to help alleviate some of that stress. We have some great tips on what to do in the weeks and months leading up to your move.

The first thing you want to do to prepare for your commercial movers is take a long look at your St Paul business’ files. Do you really need all of them? Be sure to make sure you’re following state regulations and IRS regulations in regards to file retention, but get rid of any that you don’t need. But don’t just throw them out! Make sure they are shredded or disposed of properly.

Also, make sure your employees are all on the same page and get plenty of notice that the office is moving and that the commercial movers are coming at a specific date and time. Make sure they know what is expected of them. Are they supposed to help the commercial movers? Should they stay home that day and consider it a bonus day off? Are they expected to work from home? Make your expectations clear so there is no confusion.

Space planning is also key. Check out your new St Paul office space as much as you can and make sure all of the furniture and supplies will fit. See where the phone lines are, electrical lines, Internet, etc. and plan around them. Make sure your commercial movers know where every item is supposed to go. Even if you draw up a floor plan, that’s a good way to figure out where everything will end up.

Also, send around a flier or some type of notification to your St Paul customers so they know when and where you’ve moved!

For all of your moving needs, you can trust RJ Moving. Give us a call today at (612) 384-2028 or contact us online for a free quote. We can answer any questions you have about our commercial movers and how they can help your St Paul business.

Details to Think About Before Your Minnetonka Professional Mover Company Arrives

When you’re in the process of moving in Minnetonka, you might think you have everything under control. Your professional mover company, RJ Moving, is all lined up and scheduled to come to your house at a set time and date. You only have a few things left to pack before the professional mover company arrives. You have keys to the front door of your new Minnetonka home. We already covered a few last-minute moving details in another blog we posted. Here are a few more things to consider before your professional mover company gets to your house.

Does your new Minnetonka home have a driveway? If not, have you considered the logistics of having a professional mover van parked in the street? Go to your new home and check out how much space is on the street, and be sure there is enough room for your neighbors to get by. And make sure walkways are clear of debris so your professional mover company can easily unload your items.

Take some time to visit with your old Minnetonka neighbors and get anything you let them borrow throughout the years. You don’t want your professional mover company to get you moved into your new Minnetonka home only for you to remember you let Mr. Jones down the street borrow your hammer a few months ago! Right when you really need it too! Also, visiting with your former neighbors gives you a chance to say goodbye and return any items of theirs you may have borrowed through the years.

Did you remember to call your Minnetonka electric company and get the lights turned on at your new house? What about the water company? It is recommended that you get your utilities turned on at least three days before your professional mover company comes to move you into your new house. Don’t forget to let the utilities know you’re moving so you’re not stuck with someone else’s bill!

When you’re ready to hire a professional mover company for your Minnetonka move, call RJ Moving at (612) 384-2028 or contact us online for a free quote. We proudly serve Minnetonka and the surrounding areas, and we offer professional mover services and more.
