Here
are a few sites that may help you with your move. Most of the
sites are general information sites -- worthwhile to anyone. One site
is a local mover we know well. |

| The Movers |
|
| |
Here
are the sites of some of the big movers. They'll give you all
sorts of information about packing as a mover views it. Compared
to us, movers are more oriented toward the organization of the whole
move. We are centered on packing. We've sent you to the
home pages because the addresses of the packing pages vary quickly.
You can get a lot of moving tips from Atlas Van lines It's got a lot of odd, but essential, information.
The most complete source of information we've ever seen is Avatar Moving Systems, Inc.-
on Long Island. Allow plenty of time to roam this huge site.
It's an encyclopedia of moving with links going everywhere.
Also, check out the sites for;
The links, above, signify neither our approval nor disapproval of the
companies. We just haven't dealt with them. |

| Local Movers |
|
| |
We
deal with a lot of local movers whom we have come to trust over
the years. The only one of the group who has a web site is
Reliable Man Movers .
Ric Armstrong Of Birditt Moving is another mover we've come to know who does exactly what he says he'll do. |

| Tax Deductions |
|
| |
Many moves may be tax deductible. The IRS website offers
information about claiming moving expenses as tax deductions. The
information is complete and quite readable. Unfortunately,
navigation around the site is extremely difficult. When you find
relevent information, be sure to print it out before leaving the page.
You may never find it again.
It may be a better economic decision to give stuff to charity rather than move it. It's Deductible offers
a computer program for estimating the correct value of your donations.
They have links to other sources of information about charities.
Certainly worth a look. |

| Moving Pets |

| |
| Moving pets a long distance can be a lot more complicated than you'd imagine. Start on the problem by going to petswelcome.com .
(We like the graphics, too.) Expanding your search is
simple. Use the terms "moving pets" on any search engine. |

| UPS |
|
| |
UPS
is the largest privately owned parcel carrier in the United States.
You can check out shipping rates or trace your UPS shipments on
these pages. There's general information about all the services
UPS offers.
The site offers a good summary of
good, conservative packaging practices. Anyone shipping UPS
would be well advised to pack according to these recommendations.
These suggestions will probably become standard packing requirements
over the next few years. The current location is http://www.ups.com/using/services/packaging/guidline.php . |
