Note that these items will normally be packed only by our professional movers except in cases where shippers bring their household goods directly to our agent’s warehouse. If you do end up packing your own breakables, we recommend you double box, wrap or cushion particular items with paper, bubble wrap, clothes, towels, etc.
Note:
For valuation purposes, it is a good idea to open these boxes for our agent’s inspection when you bring them to their warehouse. Otherwise, they will be inventoried as “packed by owner” cartons and will not be insured for breakage.
