Moving Small and Fragile Objects
Removing a personal collection of any nature is probably the most difficult thing to do. Something you have been collecting and putting in order for the past couple of years that needs to be relocated, especially if it's not in specially designed containers, but on display. A good example for this is a huge set of action figures, beanie babies, nest dolls or matchbox toy cars. What you need to do in a case like this, is to carefully place all the items from your collection in containers, more preferably in plastic crates with lids. And of course to label the crates so that the movers treat their content with the required attention.
If you have a big CD collection, carefully put in order
on specially designed for the matter racks, you should also devote an hour or
two for the preparation of their removal. CD’s can not be simply moved while
still on the rack, they need to be put in boxes/crates/containers. For that
purpose, place the discs vertically in a box/crate/container and make sure you
put them in an alphabetical order so that it would be easier for you to
re-arrange them on the rack when already moved to their new location. Same goes
to the DVD collections.
Needless to say, stamp and coin collections should, by
all means remain in their specially designed folders.
Extra attention should be devoted to the fragile
components of your household. Glasses, plates, glass picture frames and various
easy-to-break items should be handled with as much care as possible. In these
situation don't try and spare any bubble wrap or wrapping paper. Use plenty of
them in order to secure your fragile objects. And of course, never forget to
label the box you put them in as 'fragile'.
The key to removing small and fragile objects is to devote some of your personal
time to the task, rather than leaving it all to the movers. After all, for them
its strictly business, and only you know how much they mean to you.
