Start with weight, not empty space
A 27-gallon tote can hold a large volume, but books, dishes, tools and canned goods can become unmanageable quickly. Stop adding dense items while the tote is still easy to lift and control.
Build a stable base
Put stronger, moderately weighted items at the bottom and lighter, softer items above them. Avoid a top-heavy load that shifts when carried or placed on a dolly.
Protect fragile contents
Use packing paper, dividers or other appropriate protection. A plastic tote reduces box assembly; it does not eliminate the need to protect fragile items from impact.
Label on removable material
Use the provided removable labeling system rather than permanent marker or aggressive adhesive. Mark the destination room and a general category without exposing unnecessary details about valuables.
Do not treat the tote as waterproof
Keep sensitive items protected from rain, standing water and prolonged exposure. The service should describe the containers honestly as durable reusable moving totes rather than making a waterproof guarantee.
