WHAT IS CRATING SERVICE AND WHEN TO USE IT:
Crating effectively prevents damage; there are times when something has a value that cannot be replaced. Or it is simply valuable. To get these items from A-B safely you will want to talk to your sales rep about whether something should be crated, and the cost associated. Most crating is custom to your piece, and all measurements are very important. This is also a good time to talk about high-value items as it relates to Valuation and Insurance for your move. Although the cost is increased, so is the protection.
One very important piece to moving things safely is to make sure you mention these items to the sales rep who is building out your estimate and allocating your move team.
