To ensure a successful and efficient move to your new premises Precious Cargo Removals & Storage has developed a moving and packing guide for you to follow.
- Delivery of boxes/crates for your packing needs should generally be scheduled one week in advance of the move.
- A floor plan of the new location should be made available to the movers on the day of move so that all items may be located correctly upon delivery.
- Colour coded tags should be placed on the sides of all boxes, crates and furniture.
- Precious Cargo strongly recommends reserving the exclusive use of the elevator in all locations involved in your move. This should be done when scheduling the move with your building manager.
Desks & Cabinets
- The contents of all desks and cabinets need to be emptied before being moved.
- Desks often need to be turned on their sides to get through doorways and loose items may fall out.
- All desk and cabinet contents should be placed in boxes/crates and labelled appropriately.
File Cabinets
- Small two drawer metal file cabinets can be moved full, wooden filing cabinets must be emptied.
- Four draw filing cabinets should have the bottom two drawers full and the top two drawers empty.
- All lateral style cabinets must be completely emptied.
Supply Cabinets, Bookcases and Wall Units
- All supply cabinets, bookcases, and wall units of any type must be emptied and packed into boxes/crates.
- Loose shelving will be removed due to shifting during transit.
- Shelves must be labelled with the same identification as the unit to which it belongs.
Computers & Miscellaneous Office Equipment
- All computer equipment, typewriters, fax machines and other miscellaneous equipment (unless otherwise agreed to) will be packed and unpacked by Precious Cargo employees using special protection bins and pads.
- Laptops should be moved by the employee responsible for the laptop.
- Toner should be removed from laser printers and fax machines.
- Disconnect all cables, label all equipment and accessories accordingly.
Photocopiers
- The copier company should be notified in advance of the move to confirm if Precious Cargo can move the copier, in most lease cases they will require the equipment to be moved by their own personnel.
- If Precious Cargo is going to move the copier it must be made ready for transportation by your equipment professional prior to the move.
Wall Hangings and Pictures
- Small personal pictures should be packed into boxes/crates and labelled as 'Fragile'.
- Larger wall hangings, pictures and white boards should be labelled and will be prepared for moving by Precious Cargo employees.
