Enjoy our Packing Guide

Quick N Easy Moving provides superior packing services that will save you hours of time and money by decreasing the risk of damage to your belongings. If you must do your own packing, however, here are some helpful tips.

• Quick N Easy will take care of protecting your furniture and appliances during the move. Focus on packing your smaller belongings.
• Use sturdy, high-quality moving boxes. New moving boxes are highly recommended, as they will protect your belongings more efficiently than used boxes or boxes not intended for moving and storage. Take advantage of Quick N Easy’s moving boxes designed for your fragile belongings such as dish packs, book cartons and wardrobe boxes.
• Use newspapers sparingly, and only for cushioning and filler. Items can be damaged by ink if wrapped by newspaper.
• Clearly label each box with the contents within and the room it belongs in. Color-coding boxes by room is a great idea as well.
• Keep small parts and hardware where they belong. Bag screws, bolts and other hardware items and tape them to the large, main part of the item.
