  • Assign label #'s based on the NEW space layout in sequential order. Reception# 1, next office #2, then #3 etc. 

  • Next to the move number, label every item with a  1 of 3, 2 of 3 etc. to ensure you know that all of your items were delivered

  • Please pack contents in storage cabinets unless you have sensitive material or items you need quick access to – these we recommend you pack yourself and move yourself
