How to be sure of keeping your valuables safe in between a move

Fearing your jewels, papers, and treasures in a relocation? Dev Packers and Movers is a company that exchange tips with experts and offer professional services to ensure that your most valuable properties are completely safe.

Honestly speaking, when you consider the move, the first thing that comes to your mind is what you cherish most. That jewelry box of the family, the delicate china of the grandmother, valuable financial records or the costly electronics. These are not ordinary things but they are non-replaceable.

There are few who know this anxiety better at Dev Packers and Movers. Our greatest resource is your trust and the security of your valuables is our number 1 priority. With years of experience we have developed this guide which is a sure-footed guide that will provide peace of mind.

This is how your valuables will not be shifted and transported, but loved and cared about in the process.

Step 1: The Great Sort -Identify and Separate.

The principle of valuables moving: to part with it, you must not be able to bear to lose it, then it does not come on the general moving truck.

Make a list of VIP (Very Important Possessions):

Determine the objects that belong to any of these categories and go through your house:

High Monetary Value: Jewelry, money, coins, stamps, watches.

High Sentimental Value: Family album of photos, family heirlooms, wedding dresses, children art work, family inheritance.

Important Paperwork: Passports, land deeds, wills, birth certificates, medical reports, stock certificates.

Critical Electronics: Laptops, tablets, external hard drives (that contain backups), costly cameras.

Once these have been identified, they must be put into a complete isolation with the rest of your belongings that will be packed by the movers.

Step 2: The "Move Yourself" Box Personal Transport is Key.

The most secure way of handling the VIP items in your list is to carry them yourself.

Packing Your own "Valuables" Box:

Get a Box That is Sturdy and Unmarked: Do not get a box that exclaims that you have valuable stuff in it. An ordinary medium-sized cardboard box or a sturdurant tote made out of plastic is ideal.

Pack Smart Inside:

Jewelry should be put in separate soft pouches.

Keep the papers in waterproof files or locked brief cases.

Place delicate heirlooms in a bubble wrap and pack them tight so that they do not move.

Add padding in the form of clothes or towels.

Keep it With You: This box must be kept in your car or carried around with you. It must not ever be packed on the moving truck. On the day of moving, put this box in a secure, out of the way closet until the time to leave and then it is the last box you should take.

Step 3: Other Goods Packing with Profession.

In the case of large items that you are not able to carry yourself, such as a grand piano, a valuable painting or a large old-fashioned mirror; this is where the professional packers can be utilized.

This is the Dev Packers and Movers Difference:

Specialized Materials: We do not utilize regular boxes. We use tailor-made crates to pack works of art and mirrors, thickness boards and skids which are used in packing the piano and use high quality and acid free packing materials to pack the antiques in order to avoid moisture damage.

Professional Techniques: Our staff is educated on the specific ways of preserving various materials glass, marble, fine wood inlays and canvas.

Detailed Inventory: We will draw up a list of your high value items in a detailed and itemized list and record their condition prior to packing. You are being provided with this log and so, we are all on the same wavelength.

Step 4: Insurance- knowing what you have been covered.

Wish it were so, but get ready in the event of the worst. There is no bargaining when it comes to understanding your insurance options.

Released Value Protection: This is the simplest of cover, which is usually provided at no additional cost. It offers little protection, and is only offering a small sum per pound per item (i.e. 60 cents per pound on your 1000 stereo). This is inadequate with regards to valuables.

Full Value Protection: This is the inclusive one. In this arrangement, the mover would be liable to the replacement value of all the lost or damaged items. There may be a deductible. This is much advised when dealing with precious possessions.

Third-Party Insurance: In very valuable items (e.g. fine art, a valuation of an antique over a particular amount of money) you might have to buy a third insurance with a third party insurer.

We would recommend: You should always communicate with your mover about insurance. At Dev Packers and Movers, we sit and discuss these options with each client in simple wording and assist them select the appropriate degree of protection to ensure that they are comfortable about this.

Step 5: Your Shield Is Communication.

A reliable moving company will embrace your queries and concerns.

Some of the questions to pose to your movers (Dev Packers and Movers in particular!):

What is your routine in dealing with high-value items?

Furnish me with an elaborate written list of my treasures.

What is the difference between your basic and full cover plans of insurance?

Do you have a special packing or custom crating of items like mine?

The characteristic feature of a professional company is transparency. In case you receive any blank answers as a person, take it as a big red flag.

Conclusion: Trust, But Verify

Your items should be offered a white-glove service. You become more than a stressor by having to spend on sorting, carrying what you can do yourself, having professional packers do the rest, being insured, and making the move a true transition.
