Crating Options Offered By Willie’s Transfer
So you have hired the best Moving Company for your next relocation. The next step is to get involved in the process of packing to make sure that all of your prized possessions make it to your new home in complete safety and free from any damage. Bubble wrap, cardboard boxes and a range of other packing materials will either be provided by your movers or purchased locally. Here, our focus is on crating options offered.
Wooden crates are the most common of crating options are often used by many movers to pack heavy and large pieces of furniture as well as to load up smaller, non-fragile items. Electronics, furniture, artwork, computers and a variety of other items will be easily packaged in crates. In the case of heavy, large and odd shaped items, wooden crates are built around the piece. Needless to say, being weather resistant, wooden crates are ideal when you need to transport items long distance or even when you need to keep your items in storage for extended periods of time.
One thing you need to keep in mind is that some movers may charge you an extra amount for disposing of the crates or taking them apart. Of course, in comparison with the safety of your items, this is going to be a small price to pay. However, where possible, it is a better option to use something recyclable such as plastic crates. These can be rented and returned after your move is complete. You can store books, CDs, lightweight items, papers and even computer parts that might get damaged from humidity. These are a much more eco-friendly option that will allow you to pack your own personal items as well.
Finding a mover with the right type of crating to suit your needs is an essential part of any relocation. Be sure to discuss your requirements and crating options available to you with your mover well before agreeing upon a price and with plenty of time left before moving day. Once again, it is highly advisable that you discuss your insurance options and obtain the necessary policies to make sure that your belongings are compensated in the event of unfortunate damages.
