How to Move / Store Photos
Moving Framed Pictures
Use the frames as support and spread out evenly in your photo boxes. Wrap each frame with paper or similar protection and place inside the perimeter of your boxes to secure the walls. Next it is good idea archive your individual photos so separate the pictures into different categories and place them in a shoebox and label each set. Put the shoeboxes in the middle of your picture boxes in between the framed photos. Fill the empty space with paper and you are done.

Packing a China Box
You first want to lay a base layer of packing paper to absorb any shock during the move. Wrap each plate and glass separately. If you don’t have any packing paper, you want to use any paper with the least amount of ink on it you can find. Arrange the items in the box with extra padding between making sure no glass is exposed. Nest the items by filling any gaps with scrunched up packing paper.
China boxes are large boxes at 5 cubic feet, but they should not be packed too heavy.

I used Dumbo twice this fall. They are efficient and the fellas are great. They got the job done properly and they let me feed them, too. I gave them a nice review on Angie's List too.

I was really surprised with how little time the whole thing took (just over 4 hours), even though my move included a 5th floor walk up and a trip to Long Island. I should also mention that the price was very reasonable, especially with the discounts that were applied.

On a day when most of the northeast is totally shut down due to Hurricane Sandy, you guys drove from Brooklyn to a pickup in the Upper West Side, spent six hours driving to DC to make another pickup, and are in the middle of what will probably be another six hour drive back north. You guys are incredible!

Normally, moving in New York feels like a cross between oral surgery and highway robbery. But Dumbo Moving & Storage is hardly a normal moving company. Thank you for turning something that's usually miserable con job into a total pleasure.

All of my furniture arrived safely and nothing broke. The movers were AMAZING! They even rearranged our heavy furniture several times in the room until we liked the way it looked!
