Packing Electronics Some basic things to take care of as you pack your electronics include ejecting any cassettes, compact discs, videotapes, or DVDs out of their players. If you’re planning on putting your electronics in storage for a long-term period, don’t use plastic as this could potentially cause damage to them by trapping moisture inside. Using the original boxes is often your best option because the boxes are already fitted for the specific dimensions of your electronics.
Packing Your Table Lamps When packing your table lamp, make sure you have an adequately sized box to accommodate it. If you can't find a carton that fits the size of your lamp, a dishpack carton will work as a substitute. Make sure you line the bottom of the box you're using with enough cushioning. So before you start packing your table lamp, remove the bulb and the lampshade. Wrap the lamp's cord around the base. Avoid using packing tape as it may strip the paint or outer coating of your lamp. Afterwards, cover the lamp in bubble wrap and fold over the edges on the top and bottom before you tape. Put the lamp in the box and fill any spaces with extra bubble wrap to prevent shifting during transit.
Moving Your Fish It's important not to feed your fish for several days prior to the move. This is to insure that your pets' digestive systems are cleared and won't contaminate the water; fish tend to excrete a lot when they're stressed. Have a large cooler prepared for transporting your fish in their respective plastic baggies. Make sure to secure the bags with rubber bands.
Number by Priority One way of prioritizing your items for the move is by assigning numbers from most important to least important. Mark a 1 on all of your boxes that contain items you need immediately or on a regular basis. You should mark a 2 on boxes that have items you won't be using right away, but possibly within a month or so such as books and movies. A 3 should be assigned to seasonal items, and 4 for the items meant for storage.

Our computers (laptops) were packed by two of their movers but never arrived at the new location. No explanation just a bill. They arrived late, were rude and overcharged us for everything. The owners (Mr. and Mrs. Reid) almost threatened my life when I objected to the charges and our lost equipment. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! 1.0000

They damaged several household items of mine and did a terrible job of packing with non-responsive staff. When I tried to collect onmy insurance on the household items they tried to prevent me from collecting because it would raise their rates. No integrity--do not use Matthews Moving under any circumstance. 1.0000

Even after we paid them, they asked us to take a tour of the house to be sure there wasn\'t something else we needed moved or that we didn\'t change our minds about furniture placement. They were polite, friendly, courteous, and assured our satisfaction. Clean and professional, these guys were top notch. I have never had movers of their level. They set the standard, in my opinion. 5.0000

When it came time to move our personal belongings I was very stressed, worried, nervous, and my move day was everything but. I had an amazing experience and I was very pleased when it was over.

Thank you Three Daves!! We would be happy to use you again! 5.0000
