1. Why is labeling boxes so important during a move?

Labeling ensures smoother unpacking, prevents damage to fragile items, and helps movers place boxes in the correct rooms. It saves time and confusion post-move.

2. What items should I never pack for transportation?

Avoid packing flammable liquids, explosives, perishable foods, live plants, jewelry, and important documents. Carry these personally or consult us for alternatives.

3. Can I move heavy items in a single large box?

No. Overloading boxes can lead to breakage or injury. Always distribute heavy items across multiple small boxes and reinforce them with proper tape.

4. Should I disconnect my appliances before movers arrive?

Yes. Unplug, empty, and clean appliances like refrigerators and washing machines at least 12 hours before the move to avoid leaks and electrical issues.

5. What happens if I delay packing until moving day?

Last-minute packing leads to disorganization, rushed handling, and potential damage. Always pack in stages — starting a few days in advance ensures peace of mind and safer transit.
