Transport Tips

Honest Vehicle Transport Tips & Answers to Household Moving Questions

At eShip, we want to make your move as simple as possible for you.   Here are a few of our transport tips to make the process go smoothly!

Most people don’t want to spend time going through boxes, and using a clear bin will allow you to easily locate the items you need. You can find rubber maid bins or similar clear bins at any local Home Depot or Wal-Mart.

Labeling your boxes by room allows you to quickly identify and unpack pack everything for that specific room. As an example mark each box that goes for the kitchen “kitchen stuff”. This will allow you to quickly find all of your kitchen boxes and place them in the kitchen. Of course, you can mark different identifiers for each kitchen box. Example – Kitchen stuff (pots & pans).

Organizing the layout of your new home ahead of time will make for an easier transition into your new home. Draw a basic layout and try to figure out where everything goes before you move in. This will save a lot of time and headaches from trying to figure out things last minute.

Items such as hampers, baskets, and Rubbermaid bins can make for great “boxes”. This will help you save time and money on your move. Sometimes you need to improvise by using household items as packing material.

Make sure you number each box with a unique number that will match an inventory list. This will help you locate boxes that you may need and insure all of your boxes arrive at your destination. Our relocation coordinators can walk you through this process if needed.

Packing items such as glassware, small antiques, or any small fragile items in socks is a great way to insure the safety of your items. We suggest that you pack your items as tight as possible so you don’t leave any room for shifting.

Pack heavy items in suitcases so you can simply open the suitcase and roll the item away. We find this to be a very resourceful tip that can save you from minor headaches.

Use empty rolls of paper towels to organize wires and cords. The paper towel tube can act as an organizer rather than opening a box with a bunch of tangled wires. Remember that your personal goods will be on a truck that’s bouncing around on the road. Make sure that you pack your boxes as tight as possible to avoid shifting while on the road.

The family-owned business that goes above and beyond for its clients. Easy to reach, calls returned and inquiries tended to promptly. They are very on top of their operations. Answered all my questions thoroughly. Honest people. Got the ball rolling quickly and set me up to transport my vehicle within 36 hours. AMAZING.

Many thanks to the guy at Eship for handling the transportation of my 1967 Mustang. I was nervous to say the least. However, after speaking with Craig, and having him explain to me the process, I felt much more at ease. Fortunately, my car arrived in the same mint shape it was when it was picked up. Thanks again for your professionalism. I’ll be sure to recommend you to my friends and family.
