Office Moving Tips

• Labeling - everything should be labeled, no matter how small or inconsequential. When a desk has a removable return, both pieces must be tagged.
• Tagging- Bundles of computer cable, Floor mats, white boards, trash cans, typewriters, individual computer components, and peripherals, etc must be all individually tagged.
• Tag items in locations that are easy for the movers to spot: for example
  • Bookcases on top
  • Storage Cabinets on front
  • File top Cabinets on front
  • Boxes on the ends, not top or bottom
• Contents- Empty completely the contents of the following articles- Desks, table drawers, credenzas, shelving, storage cabinets, and bookcases.
• Filing cabinets -Do not empty vertical (narrow types) file cabinets, they will be moved full. Empty all lateral (wide type) file cabinets.
• Connections - All mechanical and electrical disconnections must be made prior to the time of move.
• Personnel- Do not have a lot of extra personnel at your facilities on moving day. They will only get in the way of the movers.
• Leased equipment - Do not move photocopiers with toner installed. You must notify all service or lease agents that your are moving the photocopier or computer equipment that is under contract.
