» We suggest you use plain white paper for packing. If you use newspaper the ink will come off on your things and you will have to wash everything when you unpack. We are sure you will have enough other things to do.

» We suggest you use dishpacks for your dishes but medium cartons can be used if need be. When packing dishes wrap each piece in a piece of paper. Stand plates on thier end. Place glasses standing with the lip down. Pack your dishes tight. If there are empty spaces wad a piece of paper and fill in the empty spaces. Just make sure that your dishes and other fragile items can not move around in the box. When you finish and you tape the top of the box pick it up and shake it slightly, if you hear anyting rattle around we suggest you open the box and fill in any spaces with a piece of waded up paper.

» We suggest you pack items like VCR's and computers in thier original boxes if you have them. If not put them in a medium carton.

» Never pack the following items as they are flammable and could explode or catch fire in a hot moving van. Any aerosol cans, caustic drain cleaners, gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, paint, paint thinner, varnishes, oil, matches, or any other flammable or combustible material

» Always pack an essentials box. This box should include things you will probably need at your new place right away. Things you might put in this box would include a few tools, toilet paper, hand soap, hand towel or paper towels, kleenex, light bulbs in case a light at your new place is burned out or in case the previous tenants took them ( I have seen it happen), a radio, medication include bandaids, snacks, pet food, cups, water if you drink bottled water, telephone, pen and paper and anything else you can think of that you might need right away. Put this box in your car if possible or put it on the truck last so it will come off first.
