Planning And
Organization City
Transfer & Storage can provide you with sound
advice and proper materials. But you'll need to
plan the packing process. 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. Your Allied agent 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
Allied 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
Allied professionals; they have the experience,
materials and techniques to properly protect
these articles. Items that require professional
disassembly and / or crating - slate pool tables,
chandeliers, or large glass table tops, for
example - should always be handled by your Allied
agent.
