Proper packing by a trained Packer using specially designed cartons and materials is crucial to a good move. Schedule packing with Shepard’s a day or two before the moving van is to arrive. If you’re packing yourself, it is never too soon to start. While packing yourself you can save money, remember that your moving company will not accept liability for damage to items packed by owners.

Be present when your goods are packed. An inventory of your goods will be made and it is important to verify its accuracy prior to signing the inventory. Valuable items will be listed separately. Some appliances may require servicing prior to the move.
