Typical Move

And the fact is, for the same interstate service, our Hutley rates are up to 10% lower than almost any franchised interstate carriers.

When you compare a Hutley estimate with one from another mover, make sure the estimated weight and the distance are the same.

Then look at the Hut1ey bottom line. Why pay more? Move with Hutley.

 

Packing tips.

 

General.

If you plan to do your own packing, here are some

helpful hints to insure your valuables the safest trip possible.

·         Start early. Packing takes time. Pack carefully.

        You don't want to be rushed.

·        If you are supplying your own materials, be sure to

      use cartons possessing at least 200 lbs. of “burst            

      strength”(This should be noted on each carton.)

·        Use lots of protective wrapping materials. This is

      the least expensive part of the move… and can

      save you the most.

·        Don't overload boxes --- this can damage contents.

·        Close carton tops securely. Use heavy masking

       tape. Ask for Hutley's special packaging tape.

·        Mark each carton clearly. Note contents and room

      destination
 

Clothing.

Ask for Hutley's special hanging wardrobe cartons.    These will save lots of ironing and pressing later. Otherwise, fold and pack clothes in boxes, cartons, chests, trunks or dresser drawers.             

 

Dishes and glassware.      

                                

Hutley's dish barrels are specially designed to carry your valuable china and bric-a-brac. Line bottoms of barrels with paper. Place well-wrapped, heavy items on                

the bottom.

Plates, platters and bowls should be placed on edge.

Add more cushioning paper and place fragile, smaller items on top. Then seal.                                                       

Wrap glasses and stemware individually. Place them "bottoms up" and use plenty of protective paper to cushion their move.

                           

Kitchen items and foodstuffs 

 

First, clean your small appliances. Wrap them and put in boxes with other small utensils, pots and pans.

Silver and silverware-----not in silver chests -----

Should be wrapped separately in non-tarnish tissue paper.

Put canned goods in small sturdy cartons. Tape shut all food containers (cereals, sugar, flour, etc.) and wrap. DO NOT PACK PERISHABLES, FLAMMABLES OR AEROSOLS.

 

Painting and mirrors.

Smaller ones can be crated or packed with bedding, blankets and towels. Let Hutley crate the larger ones

 

Books and Records.

 

Pack in small cartons on their edges. Limit each carton to 50 Ibs.

Special Items.

 

·         Lamp Shades-Wrap each in clean paper (avoid

      newsprint which can rub off and soil). Don’t stuff

      several into one another. Box each separately.

·         Refrigerators-Defrost and dry thoroughly inside.

      Wrap glass trays and containers like any other

      breakable.

·         TV and Stereos-Some require servicing by

      Qualified appliance personnel. Ask us. We can

      Arrange for one to help for a small charge.

·         Medicines- Secure all tops, caps and covers with

      cellophane tape. Pack paper firmly between bottles.

      Mark carton “Fragile” and “This End Up.”

·         Jewelry and Valuables-Don’t pack them. Keep

      them with you.
