Pak Mail

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. That means that the peak of the moving season is here. The college graduate and the student look around their dorm room or apartment and wonder how they gathered so many belongings and, most importantly, just how are they going to get all that stuff home. The retired couple escaping to cooler climates for the summer or the family of five relocating across the country, face a mountain of decisions as to what goes and what doesn't. Pak Mail Centers located throughout the country specialize in packaging, crating and shipping services designed to assist people making the most simple to the most complicated moving decisions.

Pak Mail professionals will provide practical answers for anyone facing tricky moving decisions. Shipping computers, artwork, furniture or pets, Pak Mail will find the most efficient means to get it there safely, in good condition and on time. They are equipped and trained to manage the entire move or only the most awkward, "odd ball" items.

• Be organized to ensure that the move is smooth, orderly and as free of stress as possible.
• Allow enough time to get the packing done right and far in advance of moving day.
• Pack valuables like jewelry, important documents, irreplaceable photos and videos, and medicine separately, and take them with you.
• Use new boxes that are sturdy and not too large.
• Guard glass framed pictures and artwork using a protective glass tape and bubble wrap.
• Instead of newspaper, use bubble or foam wrap.
• Do not pack flammable items and risk overheating and explosion.
