Moving into store. Part three of four.

 - Packing. Most of the things you have in drawers that will be going into store just leave in, this saves a lot of space within the container and saves you having to pack. If the chest is very heavy but the drawers and legs are strong enough, the removal team will take out the drawers, carry the chest into the van and then replace the drawers. Do take out any breakable items though as these will roll about in the drawers. Bureaus tend to be extremely heavy and usually have very spindly legs. It would be better if you unpack the drawers especially of heavy paper or books.

 - Electrical goods. If possible pack these in their original packaging. If not pack in a carton bigger than the equipment and surround it with bedding or clothes that will protect it. Mark very clearly on the box "fragile". Record decks need the pick up arm securing during transit.

 - Items that cannot be stored. Check with the company representatives about what they can and cannot store, but food stuffs and flammable items like paint, petrol etc. will certainly not be allowed to go into storage, and if they do, this will completely invalidate any insurance cover. Not to mention putting yours and other peoples processions at risk from fire and vermin.
