YOUR BOXES CLOSED.
- USING OUR VANS FOR MOVING
IS LIKE TETRIS AND THE SMALLER BOXES AND THE BETTER PACKED YOU

IF DAMANGED,
- WHETHER YOU PUT IT TOGETHER
OR NOT, R.T.A. IKEA SYLE FURNTURE IS NOT
MEANT TO BE MOVED( THATS WHY IKEA IS A MUTI- BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS!)
- IF YOU ARE MOVING A DRESSER/ARMOIRE/CHECK

OF YOUR CLOTHES OUT AND PACK THEM. ( WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
MOVE YOUR DRESSER FULL OF CLOTHES IF ITS NOT TOO HEAVY).

AND THE CUSTOMER TOLD US EVERYTHING WAS WELL PACKED,
WHEN WE GOT THERE THE WHOLE PLACE WAS PACKED IN TRASH BAGS, EXCEPT FOR
THE BED. ON THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS ONE OF THE TRASH BAGS BROKE OPEN
AND IT WAS JUST THE VCR, BLENDER, AND MICROWAVE IN ONE BAG!! SEE OUR
FAQ SECTION FOR MORE INFO ON PACKING.

BEDS AND BOX SPRINGS CAN GO ON THE ROOF OF THE VAN. NOTHING ELSE
CAN GO ON ROOF RACK
VAN

APARTMENT IS BEST.
- IF THERE ARE PARKING ISSUES
PLEASE HAVE THEM THOUGHT OUR BEFORE WE ARRIVE.

FIT IN A REGULAR SPOT) WOULD BE MORE THAN AWESOME.
