Electronics
Small
Appliances:
Brown paper pads may
be used to pack heavier and larger items such as countertop
appliances. They should be placed in 3.1 cubic foot moving boxes
for easier handling. If a brown paper pad is too large for an item,
cut the sheet in half. Keep all appliance parts together in the
same box.
Keep in mind, larger
moving boxes can quickly become extremely heavy: try lifting a box
before you seal it with tape to make sure that its weight is
manageable.
Televisions,
Computers and Stereos:
Before moving or
packing any televisions, tape the front control panel closed.
Remove or recess fully the antenna. Keep careful track of remote
controls to any electronic devices, as these items are often
misplaced during a move.
Coil and tie/tape the
electrical cords on all appliances. Tapes and CD's should be
removed from electronic equipment before being prepped or
packed.
If you don't have the
original factory packing for your expensive electronic equipment,
you should not attempt to move the items yourself. Consult a
professional mover for further
guidance.
