Preparation Moving Services in Fresno, CA

Please have all drawers emptied before our arrival.

The heavier the item, the smaller the box it should occupy.

Please try not to exceed a weight of 50 pounds per box.

Place boxes together in a central location after packing to save time and money.

Always tape boxes. Don’t interlock the tops. Tape the bottoms (use packing tape instead of duct tape or other kinds of tape).

Don’t use boxes without tops. No tops make it impossible to stack properly in the truck.

Never use printed newsprint to wrap fine china, dishes, plates, glasses, etc.

Please have the washer/dryer disconnected prior to our arrival.

Refrigerators and freezers must be empty prior to moving.

Disconnect electronics, take off lampshades, take down pictures and mirrors, and compile backyard furniture in one spot. If you’d like, you can take apart things like beds, desks, entertainment centers, dining table leaves, and glass from curios. Otherwise, our team can do it—just know that it will add time to your move.

We do not move the following items:

• Household plants
• Hot tubs
• Grand pianos
• Firewood
• Hazardous materials
• Gasoline, propane, paint
• Construction materials (sheetrock, cement, etc.)
• Used auto parts
• Large commercial machinery
• Firearms and ammunition

Pack prescriptions and immediate necessities in an easy-to-access suitcase and set it aside from the items the movers will be packing/moving.

The moving business can be unpredictable. We ask for your patience—your scheduled time may shift slightly on moving day.

Strip bed linens so our movers can disassemble and move beds as needed.

Electronic components such as stereos, computers, and delicate equipment must be packed in their original boxes or containers that provide similar protection.

We request you remove valuables (cash, jewelry, firearms) before we arrive. We do not accept liability for transporting these items.
