(NUI) - From moving across town to moving across the country, moving season is here. Spring and summer are the most popular times of the year to make a move.

Just a small percentage of people making minor to major moves will employ the services of a professional moving company. The majority of moves are managed by individuals who must find solutions to the often complicated challenges of moving.

Here are some tips to make your move as smooth as possible from the experts at Pak Mail.

* Be organized. Allow enough time to get the packing done right.

* Pack valuables like jewelry, important documents, irreplaceable photos and videos, and medicine separately and take them with you. Use boxes that are sturdy and not too large.

* Guard framed pictures and artwork using a protective glass tape and bubble wrap. Instead of newspaper, use bubble or foam wrap.

* Never pack flammable items and risk overheating and explosion.

* Have awkward, fragile or priceless items - such as antiques, collectibles, heirlooms, computers and oversized

furniture - packed by a trained professional through a packaging and shipping center. This will give you peace of mind that they will arrive safely.

Whether using a moving company or going it alone, packing and shipping experts at retail centers can provide practical and efficient solutions to make moving much smoother all the way around. They carry a full line of packing materials and give expert advice about the best way to get something from one place to another.
