Here are some packing tips for those local moves in Chicago and long distance moves from Chicago!
- Keep the following supplies handy: boxes, marking pen, bubble wrap, newsprint, tape, scissors or box cutter, a tape measure
- Use specialty boxes (often called "dish packs") for dishes, glass ware, fragiles and breakables. These double corrugated boxes protect breakables the best. With bubble wrap and newsprint, your goods will stay nicely protected.
- Use adjustable "mirror cartons" for glass, artwork and mirrors. Also package in bubble wrap.
- Pack plasma TV in its original box.
- Try to pack all of your audio/video equipment in their original boxes. If not available, use movers "medium boxes" with bubble wrap.
- Books, files, and smaller, heavier items go in "book boxes" which are 1.5 cubic feet cartons.
- Medium weight items (toasters, board games, toys, light non-fragile table and book shelf displays) are packed in medium, 3.0 cubic feet cartons.
- Large, light items (stuffed animals, towels, bedding) should be packed in large, 4.5 cubic feet cartons.
- Do not exceed 40 pounds per box.
- Label each box and indicate which room it should go in. Mark "FRAGILE" and "THIS SIDE UP" as necessary.
- Carry your medicines, important papers/documents, jewelry, and valuables with you.

Jennifer From Naperville asks...
I was at a school function last night and I met Jennifer, a fellow parent, who happens to be doing a local move from Naperville to Chicago. Jennifer asked a good question: "Mark, what makes All My Sons the best in local moves in Chicagoland?"
Excellent question, and on the spot, you can't boilerplate an answer!
I told Jennifer:
"Family - This is truly a family run business by my father (Larry), my brother (Michael) and myself. When we say 'let our family move yours,' we MEAN IT! In the day and age of mega centers and big box stores, it's nice to do business with a family company that cares about serving other families.
Experience - Our combined family experience in this moving business is over 50 years! You can't pay for experience like that! We are simply the best local movers in Chicago.
Quality - We back it up with 10 years of represenation as an accredited BBB Business. I serve on the Board of Directors, and continually work to improve the image and quality of all local moving related issues in Chicago. All My Sons Moving has been nominated 4 years running for a BBB Torch Award for market place ethics! All My Sons knows local moving in Chicago."
As Jennifer from Naperville found out, All My Sons is the best because of family care, experience, and unsurpassed quality for local moving in the Chicago area.
