Sure, you can toss the books in a suitcase, hang the clothes easily in a wardrobe box and squish the kid’s stuffed animals in a box. But how do you move and store valuables so they get to your new digs safely? When you move, it’s more than just stuff that you pack up; your life’s memories and valuables deserve special care.
Protect your prized possessions with these tips that will save you a lot of stress on packing day – and, hopefully, save your crystal, too.
5 Tips to Pack, Move and Store Valuables Safely
1. Inventory
Make a list and take pictures of your prized possessions to document the original state of the item in case they are misplaced, broken or stolen. Include a description, the condition, weight, dimensions and any other details about each item. Just remember to keep those pictures off social media, which may attract potential thieves.
2. Ensure You’re Insured
Rest easy knowing your possessions are safe with us. Tiger Moving and Storage is fully insured and licensed to pack, move and unpack your special belongings. Also, check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if they cover a move and if you can get more coverage for valuable items.
