Moving requires extensive planning and it's important to ask some questions to best plan for the transition. At George Moving & Storage, Inc. we have helped countless customers with their moving needs.
With our experience, we have learned that some of the most important questions sometimes aren't obvious. This blog will cover some FAQs that you might not have considered for your relocation.
What’s The Best Way To Prepare For A Long-Distance Move With Storage?
When preparing for a long-distance relocation with storage, you should prepare your belongings first by decluttering and labeling them. Group your belongings into categories for disposal, storage, and those that will come with you.
Create an inventory list to help you check to ensure that everything is located in the correct location. By organizing your belongings properly, you can create a more efficient transition.
How Can I Safely Move Electronics And High-Value Items?
Moving high-value and fragile items requires specialized knowledge and protection. A specialized mover will utilize custom crating and organization techniques.
The items will be extensively documented and undergo measures to keep them stable when in transport. Valuation insurance coverage will also help to ensure that you are protected in the rare instance it's damaged.
Should I Use My Own Boxes Or The Ones Movers Provide?
While you may want to repurpose your personal boxes, our team at George Moving & Storage, Inc uses commercial-grade moving boxes. These moving boxes are specifically designed with structural integrity in mind.
Common household boxes are more susceptible to tearing and crushing, which could damage your items. If you want a smoother packing process and peace of mind, we recommend using boxes provided by movers.

We use protective coverings to keep your home clean and dry throughout the loading process. Our moving fleets are maintained to ensure that there are no unexpected issues when we transport your items.
What Items Can’t Go Into Storage Units?

- Live Plants
- Food Items
- Tires
