How to Successfully Pack & Move Electronics

move electronics

When it’s time to move, one of the biggest concerns for most families is moving valuable and fragile items like home electronics. Televisions, audio systems, game consoles, and other expensive items can cause major anxiety during moves. Here are a few expert tips for packing and moving them successfully:

Stick with the Originals

Do you still have the original packaging from your electronics? If so, these boxes and packaging materials are the best to use for packing to move, since they are the best fit for your items. Likewise, they likely contain the product manuals, which offer additional safety information that can give you advice on how best to pack your items for a electronics move.

Custom Packing

If you don’t still have the original packaging from your items, don’t worry. There are many packing materials available from moving companies in specialty sizes which will work well for packing your items. Always shop with specific sizes in mind and buy your materials specifically for each item to ensure the best fit.

Soften the Blow

The jostling that can happen during moving isn’t easy on your electronics. Combat this dangerous problem by wrapping everything from computer or television screens to game consoles in towels, linens, or thin pillows to buffer the possible bumps in the road during the move. Likewise, consider using moving mats or pads between boxes to protect your items during transit.

Know What’s in There

Taking inventory before packing is important – and so is taking inventory again after unpacking. This will help you ensure that you’ve successfully packed everything before moving and that every item successfully made the move afterward. It will ease your mind and your move!

Tape Everything Up

Once your boxes are packed, make sure that they are taped properly. Many homeowners have lost important items due to them tumbling out of boxes and breaking during the moving process. Tape your boxes and prevent yourself from joining their ranks.

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
