Packing Tips For Your Upcoming Move

*Get smaller boxes for books and use bigger boxes for lighter items.
*Pack room-by-room, keeping similar items together.
*Reinforce the bottom of boxes with at least one strip of packing tape.
*Pack boxes firmly to prevent the contents from shifting during your move.
*Use crumpled paper for padding and seal boxes tightly with wide packing tape.
*Pack records and CDs vertically in boxes. Don't stack them flat.
*Place heavier items in the bottom of the box and lighter items on top.
*Separate items with paper to prevent scratches caused by rubbing.
*Remove lids from jars and ceramics. Wrap each separately.
*Seal any opened boxes and bottles to avoid spills and leakage during move.
*Use towels, linens, curtains, etc. to pad boxes of fragile items. Clearly mark these boxes "FRAGILE."
*Use a large box for lampshades and cushion them well.
*When disassembling furniture, beds, lamps, etc. put the hardware into a plastic bag *along with any assembly tips and tape it onto the item itself.
*If possible ask your mover if you can leave clothes in dresser drawers.
*Pack all hanging clothes in wardrobe boxes to protect them.
*Make a master list of all household items and your belongings.
*Number boxes when they are packed and clearly indicate on the box its room *destination. Note all contents of the box on the master inventory.
*Make a box of essentials and label it "Open Me First." Put this box to the side to *be loaded last (so it’s unloaded first) or you can move it yourself if there's *enough room.

Chicago, IL Moving Reviews

I was looking for a moving company on the internet. I came across Chase Relocation after doing a Yahoo Search. I decided to call them using there toll free number 1(888) 668 3858 and spoke with a long distance moving specialist. I must say that she was so pleasant to speak to, she made me feel that hiring Chase relocation as my upcoming mover was the right choice and that all my belongings would remain safe. I had a good experiance with the actual movers as well, Even though it required some clarification with the sales rep I spoke with, the movers did a well done job, Protected all my furniture and the delivery arrived in time with no damages. I would highly recommend using chase relocation for your upcoming move.

Wanted to send a quick note of thanks for the great effort and very professional experience we had with our move from Chicago to Detroit in November 2008. Everything went as scheduled and we are pleased to recommend the Chase Relocation group to our friends, family, and neighbors. Special attention by Edgar and his crew to our household items was very much appreciated, including Edgar’s return trip to our house later during the evening of the move after he uncovered some bed hardware that had mistakenly been overlooked in the truck. I hadn’t had a chance to thank him again.

Wishing all of you an enjoyable Holiday Season and best of luck in the New Year. We will definitely call again and reccomend them as a Moving Company

Chase Relocation was amazing from start to finish. I was called by one of their moving advisors, all my questions before the move were responded quickly and the price was very competative. The movers arrived 30 mintues late but made sure to contact me and notify me the same morning. I have moved several times and never experienced such a service. If you are looking for a Chicago Moving Company I would definetely recommend chase relocation!
