Steps to avoid property damage during your moving.
1) Keep fragile items in a sturdy box surrounded by blankets and bubble wrap, keep liquids in plastic containers, keep breakable dishes wrapped in towels or bubble wrap, and remember to take pictures before packing so you know what’s inside each box.
2) If you’re not sure which category your items belong to, use the following list as a reference:
- Fragile – Items that can be broken by bumping into them.
- Liquid – Items that are sensitive to changes in temperature or humidity.
- Breakable – Items that can be cracked or scratched if dropped on a hard surface.
- Delicate – Items that have glued parts have glass panels or lots of metal detail.
- Very Delicate – Items that are easily damaged by pressure or physical shock
3) Find a professional mover to handle your move. Make sure to ask the movers what services they offer if their insurance covers property damage, and what procedures they have in place to control property damage during the move. Also compare their rates with those of other movers and ask about additional expenses such as packing materials and fuel surcharges.

4) When it comes to breakable items, you may want to go out and buy some bubble wrap so your mover can pack on-site. If you go to the store yourself, make sure your mover doesn’t drive away without unloading all your boxes first.
5) Finally, if it’s an interstate move, the Interstate Commerce Commission regulates rates, so there shouldn’t be a problem with hidden costs or rate hikes. And while sometimes it feels good to cross a task off your to-do list, hiring a moving company can be stressful enough without having to chase down your mover for money.
Remember to take pictures before packing so you know what’s inside each box.
There are many things people forget before moving house. One of there is to take pictures before taking all their property.
You need to take pictures BEFORE you start packing so you know what’s in the box before it’s sealed and loaded onto a truck. This will help make sure that if something gets lost or damaged during transport, you’ll have a visual reference of what was inside and might be able to get reimbursed for it.
IF IT’S FRAGILE, pack it in a sturdy box, surrounded by blankets and bubble wrap. Make sure it doesn’t bump into anything else inside the box-if you can move or tilt the object without too much effort, then your mover should be able to do the same.
For example, when you’re packing delicate items, take pictures of the contents before putting them in a box so you know what’s in each one.
This way, during the move you’ll know which box to take out if something has come undone. You could also do the same with fragile items by taking pictures before wrapping them up in bubble wrap etc.
Create a detailed inventory sheet of all your items.
One good idea to make sure all your items get safely to your new place is to create an inventory sheet that is filled out by you and your movers with a description of each item that is packed. This also gives you an idea of what type of boxes to use and how many will be needed, as well as if there are any items not moving with you. This sheet can be kept with your important papers to ensure that everything arrives safely without any trouble.
One big challenge you will face when it comes to moving items is the actual act of packing them. This can be difficult for fragile objects, glass, dishes, and other breakable items, that’s the reason because an inventory sheet could be very helpful to avoid any mistakes. One great way of protecting dishes or other fragile items is by wrapping them in towels before putting them into the box.
So the next time you’re going to move take in the count to make this inventory sheet and protect your items! and remember to not mix old items with new ones when packing, make sure they are in different boxes.
