What to Know Before you Pack!

Start collecting moving boxes early. An easy way to store boxes is to open both ends of the cartons and flatten them out. You can reopen them and re-seal the bottoms with your packing tape when they are ready to use.
Pack on a room-by-room basis. Don’t mix items from the living room in boxes with articles from the kitchen. This will save hassles and any confusion later on when it's time to unpack.
Start packing early. You might want to start in areas where the goods are not in frequent use - such as the cellar, attic, garage, closet shelves, etc.
Look for packing companies to do some of your packing for you. USA Moving and Storage have packing services. At the very least, it may be necessary to purchase some of their specialized cartons that will be impossible to find elsewhere. This includes cartons such as mattress boxes, wardrobe boxes, containers for large pictures and mirrors, and possibly some large cartons for tall table lamps.
Hang clothing like suits, dresses and coats, in movers’ wardrobe boxes. This will avoid wrinkling and save you the trouble and expense of having your garments cleaned and pressed later. Garment bags were not designed to be used as movers’ wardrobes, and will not withstand the stress of a move.
Do not pack any flammables, combustibles, or explosives.

What Our Clients Say

The driver was the head of the crew, and he was on top of everything. He made the experience working with USA Moving a pleasure. We have used others before but it was our first time using USA. Everything turned out great.

-Eric Y..

Every employee I worked with was courteous, professional, and exceedingly competent. I was nervous about the packing and long distance move (from Illinois to New Mexico, October 2009) and USA helped make the move as smooth as possible. Not a thing was damaged or broken

-Kay S..

I would recommend USA to any company thinking about switching vendors, and any family making a move. A USA rep even stopped by my new place when they were unloading just to check on things.

Wonderful service ? first class!

-Julia C..

Everything USA has done was over the top. It was courteous people, polite, caring. Their friendliness was over the top. There was one member of the crew who?d been a friend for 30 years, and the rest was family. I couldn?t say enough about them.

-Jerry M..

I recently moved from Chicago to Tampa and expected a few road bumps along the way but was pleasantly surprised when everything from loading to delivery was flawless. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend USA Moving and Storage as they are a class act.

-Sandy C..

This move envolved packing and delivery to four different destinations. Attention to detail and coordination were vital and effectively executed by Tony R driver and his crew. Ardene did a great job coordinating everything. The entire group were both extremely pleasant and efficient.
