Moving fragile items can be one of the most stressful parts of relocating. Whether it’s your grandmother’s china, a flat-screen TV, or a framed piece of art, these items carry both financial and emotional value. At Up Front Movers, we treat every fragile item as if it were our own—with precision, care, and the right materials.
📦 Materials Matter
We start with high-quality packing supplies. Our team uses double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, foam sheets, and custom crates for high-value items. We avoid shortcuts like newspaper or reused boxes that can compromise protection. Each item is wrapped individually and cushioned to prevent movement during transit.
🧠 Smart Packing Techniques
Our crew is trained in strategic packing. Heavier items go on the bottom, lighter ones on top. We fill empty spaces with padding to prevent shifting, and we label every box clearly—especially those marked “Fragile.” For glassware and dishes, we use dish pack boxes with built-in dividers. For electronics, we use anti-static wraps and secure all accessories separately.
🖼️ Specialty Handling
Mirrors, artwork, and TVs require special attention. We use upright storage techniques, corner protectors, and custom-fit boxes to ensure these items don’t get scratched or cracked. Our team knows how to load these pieces into the truck so they’re never under pressure or at risk of tipping.
🚚 Transport with Care
Once packed, fragile items are placed in designated zones within the truck. They’re never stacked under heavy furniture or wedged into tight corners. Our drivers are trained to avoid sudden stops and sharp turns, and we monitor every move to ensure safe delivery.
✅ Peace of Mind
We also offer optional insurance coverage for high-value items. While we take every precaution, we understand that accidents can happen, and we want you to feel secure from start to finish.
💡 Pro Tips for Clients
- Take photos of valuable items before packing.
- Use small boxes for heavy fragile items.
- Avoid packing liquids near electronics.
- Let us know in advance about any antiques or collectibles.
At Up Front Movers, protecting your fragile items isn’t just a service—it’s a promise. We understand the trust you place in us, and we honor it with every box we pack and every mile we drive. When you move with us, you move with confidence.
