Moving with fragile items can bring homeowners more stress for the fear of them breaking and we’ll be discussing what the biggest causes of fragile items breaking are, how to avoid breaking delicate items, and how a moving company like us at Family Movers Express can be a big help.
According to Forbes, 46% of people think that fragile items are the most stressful items to pack (Over Half (54%) Of Survey Respondents Who Didn’t Use Moving Services Said Moving Was Too Stressful). This can be shocking to many homeowners, but if you’ve moved before, then you can definitely understand their reasoning. Fragile items often break during moves because they’re not packed properly or transported safely. That’s why it’s important to be aware of major mistakes people make when packing and moving fragile items, how to pack and move fragile items safely, and how hiring a moving company like us at Family Movers Express can help securely transport your belongings.
Before you begin your move, it’s vital to watch out for common mistakes most people make when packing that can lead to breakage. Some of these include not cleaning up/out unnecessary items and not packing critical items in boxes for more protection (livingetc). Also, not packing in advance, not packing by room, and not labeling the boxes are common mistakes people moving often make (5 Moving Mistakes You Can Easily Avoid, According to Experts). By being aware of these critical errors, you can better protect your belongings from breaking. This can also bring you a greater peace of mind knowing that you prepared for many possible issues.
Once you’re aware of the mistakes people often make when moving, it’s good to be mindful of how to pack your belongings safely so they’re secure. Unfortunately, there really isn’t one sure way to pack all fragile items, but fortunately each way isn’t too different from the other. According to Home Depot, a great way to pack fragile items is by filling the box (especially the bottom) with packing paper, wrapping each item individually, not packing too much in one box so it’s not too heavy, and leaving the heavier items on the bottom and lighter items towards the top (How to Pack Dishes and Glasses). Each fragile item requires different kinds of attention, but using the same care and responsibility as the strategies spoken of before, you’ll find your fragile items more safe and secure than they were before.
