OFFICE MOVING TIPS
Everything should be labeled, no matter how small or inconsequential. When a desk has a removable return, both pieces must be tagged. Bundles of computer cables, floor mats, white boards, trash cans, typewriters, individual computer components and peripherals, etc....must all be individually tagged.
Tag items in locations that are easy for the mover to spot. For example, tag...
Chairs on the back rest
Desks, tables and credenza on the top of work surfaces
Bookcases on the top
Storage cabinets and file cabinets on the front top
tag (write on) boxes on the ends - not on top or bottom
Completely empty the contents of the following articles:
Desks
Table drawers
Credenza - Shelving
Storage cabinets
Bookcases
Do NOT empty vertical (the narrow type) file cabinets - these will be moved full.
Empty all lateral (the wide type) file cabinets.
All mechanical and electrical disconnections must be made prior to the time of the move.
Do NOT have a lot of extra personnel in your facilities on moving day. They will only get in the way of the movers.
Do NOT move photocopiers with toner installed inside. You must notify all service or lease agents that you are moving the photocopier or computer equipment that is under contract.
Arrange to provide the movers with clear, direct and exclusive access to entrances, work areas and any required elevators at the origin and destination facilities.
