If you're looking for a way to economize, self-packing may
be a good place to start, provided that you can achieve professional
results. Scobey Moving & Storage wants to help you do it
right. We can provide you with sound advice and proper materials.
But you'll need to plan the packing process.
Planning and Organization
Take an inventory of what you'll be moving, and identify those
items that you'll need until moving day. Begin by packing less
essential items - extra linens, out-of-season clothing and your
good china, for example - well in advance of your moving date.
Many people allow two weeks or more to complete packing. That
can be disruptive; if you're not prepared for it, professional
packing may be a better option. Scobey Moving & Storage
can complete most packing jobs in one or two days.
What Needs to be Packed?
Obviously, not everything will fit in a box. As a rule, furniture
and major appliances will be wrapped and padded by your Scobey
Moving & Storage driver as part of our standard service.
And light weight, non-fragile items such as clothing can be
left in dresser drawers. To ensure adequate protection, anything
that is loose and/or breakable should be wrapped and packed
in sturdy cartons. It's a good idea to leave your most fragile
or awkward things to the Scobey professionals; they have the
experience, materials, and techniques to properly protect these
articles. Items that require professional disassembly and/or
crating - pool tables, chandeliers, or large glass table tops,
for example - should always be handled by your Scobey agent.
Available in queen/king, double, single (twin),
and crib sizes; you'll need one for each box spring
and mattress.
Small carton for heavy items such as books and
records.
Medium utility carton often used for pots and
pans, toys and small appliances.
For bulky items such as linens or lampshades.
For lightweight bulky articles such as pillows, blankets
and large lampshades.
Extra sturdy carton for breakables such as dishes and
china, crystal and glassware. For extra protection,
use with cellular dividers.
Several sizes of telescoping cartons to fit most any picture,
mirror, or glass.
This large carton has a hanger bar to accommodate clothes
from your closet, and draperies.
