PACKING-Great Scott Moving
can provide you with a professional packing service at a lower rate
from our moving service, when performed prior to your move. If you request
our packing services on moving day, the packing rate is the same as
our rate for moving. For those who prefer to pack themselves, we can
deliver to you your packing materials and you need not pay for them
until the completion of you move. Free delivery
is available several days a week (20 box minimum), or you may pick up
supplies at 3409
52nd Ave., Hyattsville,
MD. It is our recommendation that you use packing
materials consistent with your desire to protect the quality of your
goods. If you wish to use your own boxes, be sure they can be sealed
top to bottom, and that they are strong enough and not over packed (i.e.
records and books should not be put in boxes originally designed for
paper towels or tissue). Try also to use boxes similar in size, as they
will be easier and safer to stack. Clearly label all fragile boxes accordingly
(see packing instructions below). We cannot assume
responsibility for damage to fragile items in a box not clearly marked
as such.

BOXES-(1.67 cf)-$1.50-For books, records
