Packing Tips

Wondering how to get started in packing up your collectibles? Or curious about which box is the best fit for your toaster oven? Let us offer some advice.

• Tape and seal the bottom of the box with at least 2 strips of tape.
• Use plenty of crumpled paper or other cushioning to generously pad the bottom, top and sides of the box.
• Pack boxes 100% full so that they have firm, level tops.
• Boxes must have sealed tops. Open-top boxes are prohibited.
• Write the contents (2-3 primary items) on top of the box to make unpacking easier.
• Label boxes/totes with thick sharpie by destination room (LR, KIT, MBR, etc.).
• Don’t forget to pack: table lamps, wall hangings, and closet items.
• Anything breakable must be boxed or taken by customer.
• Reminder: Customer-packed boxes are not insured by VVT.
