Office Moving Tips

The following tips information will give you an idea of what you can expect in your office move. We hope this will benefit you! Additional instructions and suggestions will be presented to you by your Bekins Northwest Moving Consultant.

LABELING:

  • Every item to be moved must have a label on it
  • Place labels on each item of furniture. The labels are color coded.
  • If an item must be dismantled to be moved, be sure to label all parts.
DISCONNECT ALL WIRING:
  • Wiring, telephone or any equipment which is fastened to desks, etc.,MUST be disconnected.
PERSONAL COMPUTERS - CRT'S - KEYBOARDS - DISC DRIVERS - PRINTERS - FAX MACHINES - TYPEWRITERS ETC.
  • Unplug all equipment from the power source and from other peripheral equipment.
  • Place all cables, cords, covers etc. in a moving carton with your other desk contents, etc.
  • Make sure each piece of equipment has been properly serviced for moving, if any servicing is required.
PACKING CARTONS:
  • Place label on either END of the carton, NOT on top, bottom or sides
  • Please do not over pack cartons. Cartons are stacked when they are moved. "Domed" cartons don't move well.
  • Our special auto-bottom cartons do not require packaging tape.
DESKS AND CREDENZAS:
  • Label the desk on the top surface
  • Place small items such as pens, rubber bands, etc., in an envelope and put it in one of your moving cartons.
  • Glass tops on desks - place separate label on lower right hand corner. Remove all papers from under the glass. Remember to label the desk.
FILE CABINETS:
  • Vertical (standard) file cabinets can be moved full. It is not necessary to pack contents. Be sure all pressure plates are moved forward.
  • Lateral File Cabinets - you may leave the bottom two drawers full. All drawers above the bottom two must be packed in cartons.
  • If you have locks on file cabinets, go ahead and lock them. Be sure to keep the key in a safe place.
  • If you do not have a key, place packing material around the lock so the lock can no longer be forced into a locking position. BOOKCASES:
    • Contents are to be removed and packed into cartons.
    COPIERS:
    • All required servicing MUST be completed prior to moving. Contact your vendor to arrange this and to make any necessary service after the move.
    NEW SPACE FLOOR PLANS:
    • Please provide Bekins Northwest with up-to-date furniture space plans.
    CLEAN HOUSE:
    • This is the perfect time to clean house.
    EMPLOYEES:
    • Keep employees informed about the entire move process and what is required of each of them. This will make the move less stressful and a lot more enjoyable. Your move consultant will hold informational meetings with your office.
    REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN:
    • Remember to try and have fun. We are there to help. If you or any of your staff have any questions, please contact your Bekins Northwest Move Consultants.
