Office Moving Do's & Don'ts

Do:

• Use only the special move tags that your mover has provided you with.
  
  
• Tag EVERYTHING no matter how small or unimportant it may seem.
  
  
• Tag items in locations that are easy for the mover to spot.
  
  
• Completely empty the contents of the desks, table drawers, storage cabinets, and bookcases.
  
  
• Leave only the two bottom drawers of lateral filing cabinets full.
  
  
• Plan on making all electrical and mechanical disconnections (Stereo Equipment, Computer Equipment) unless specific arrangements have been made with your mover.
  
  
• Arrange to provide the movers with clear, direct and exclusive access to entrances and work area and any required elevators at the origin and destination facilities.

Don'ts:

• Empty vertical file cabinets - they will be moved full.
  
  
• Have a lot of company personnel in your facilities on moving day.
  
  
• Move photocopiers with toner installed.  You must notify all service or lease agents that you are moving photocopier or computer equipment that is under contract.
