Appliances
Packing Tips for Appliances
Refrigerator
Do NOT unplug it. Unplugging causes condensation, which leads to water leaking during transport.
Empty all contents. Spilled sauces or broken bottles can damage the fridge or stain the truck.
Washing Machine
Remove all clothes and items inside. Leave the cord and hoses connected — our crew will handle disconnection.
Microwave
Our crew will wrap it. Leave it as is.
Rice Cooker, Toaster, Electric Kettle
Pack these in cardboard boxes yourself.
TV
Disconnect all cables except the power cord and put them in a box. If your TV is on a stand, leave it — our crew will remove it.
PC & Monitor
Put all cables in a box. If the PC tower doesn't fit in a box, leave it as is.
If using a monitor arm, remove the monitor and pack the arm and cables in a box.
Important
If it fits in a cardboard box, pack it in one.
Take photos of cable connections before unplugging — makes reconnecting much easier.
Furniture

Boxes
Cardboard Box Packing Tips
Size Guide
100-size (small): Books, dishes, seasonings — heavy items
120-size (large): Clothes, daily items — light items
How to Assemble Boxes
Seal the bottom with tape in a cross pattern for strength.
Seal the top with a single I-line of tape.
Never fold flaps without tape — the bottom will open during transport.
Labeling
Write the contents and destination room on the top and side of each box.
Dishes
Wrap each plate individually with newspaper.
Fill the inside of glasses with cushioning.
Stack plates vertically — they're less likely to break.
How Many Boxes? (Single person)
Studio: 10–15 boxes
1K–1DK: 15–20 boxes
Important
Do NOT use oversized boxes (160-size+) — they will break under weight.
Never pack items in plastic bags. They can't be stacked in the truck and may tear, causing damage.
