Good packing: The key to a smooth move<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post<\/p>\n
Good packing is the key to a successful move. Without it,
\nmoving could become a nightmare despite even the most carefully
\nmade relocation plans.<\/p>\n
To ensure that your household goods survive your move in one
\npiece, you must be sure that they are properly packed before they
\nare loaded on a moving van or other vehicle. If this seems like
\nsomething you will be unable to do by yourself, your moving
\ncompany will be able to pack your household goods and your
\nfurniture.<\/p>\n
If you decide to do your own packing, it might still be wise
\nto have your moving company pack delicate items such as dishes,
\ncrystal and other fragile pieces.<\/p>\n
It also is important that you understand which items can and
\ncannot be shipped. There are regulations that governs all movers
\nto ensure safety.<\/p>\n
Below are important tips provided by the United States-based
\nnetwork of movers and relocation companies, Vanlines, on its
\nwebsite: http\/\/www.Vanlines.com.
\n* Drain oil and fuel from lawn mower and other machinery. Discard
\nany partially used cans of paint, thinner, oil or other
\nsubstances that might leak.
\n+ Take your rugs and draperies to the cleaners before packing
\nthem, and leave the rugs and draperies wrapped when they are
\nreturned from the cleaners.
\n* Avoid refinishing your furniture before your move. Some
\nproducts may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting
\nfrom furniture pads. Obtain a written appraisal of antiques to
\nverify their value.
\n* Think twice before dismantling your satellite dish; a new one
\nmay cost less than moving the present one.
\n* If you move items such as hot tubs, large screen TVs and some
\nexercise equipment you will need a third-party service before
\nyour move. Please consult with your mover about the third-party
\nservicing.
\n* You should also consult with your mover about the servicing of
\nappliances, grandfather clocks and satellite dishes before and
\nafter your move.
\n* Dispose of all flammable, corrosive or explosive items, such as
\nacid, gasoline, poisons, charcoal lighter, paints, car batteries,
\nfluid matches, ammunition, liquid bleach, stern, aerosols,
\nkerosene, pool chemicals, chemistry sets, fireworks, pesticides,
\ncharcoal, motor oil, paint thinner, batteries, loaded weapons,
\nweed killer, ammonia, propane tanks and cleaning fluid.
\n* Please note that you should empty your refrigerator and
\nfreezers for at least 24 hours before loading. Keep the
\nappliance doors open so the appliance will dry out and prevent
\nthe growth of mold and odor.<\/p>",
