Moving & Set-Up Services
Moving Tips
-
Appointing a Move Coordinator for the relocation of an office or department is very helpful.
-
Boxes - we can provide some recycled boxes from our facility if you contact us (x 8150 or x 8142) at least 2 weeks prior to your move, but we do not provide moving boxes on a regular basis.
-
Vertical File Cabinets - We recommend that you remove all items from vertical file cabinets if the move is to another room or area. If the move is just to another location in the same room the files can possible remain in tact (please discuss this with the movers prior to the date of your move).
-
Lateral File Cabinets generally must be emptied and their contents put in clearly marked boxes. Failure to do so may result in damage to the cabinet, your facility, or the movers.
-
Desk, Credenza and Storage Cabinet contents must be emptied and boxed; these will be tilted on end for transport.
-
Bookcases should be completely emptied into containers/boxes and clearly marked. Bookcase shelf pegs should be removed and packed away for safekeeping. Loose bookcase shelves should be counted, labeled and stacked in the bottom shelf of the bookcase unit.
-
Delicate Material - Please mark these items as "FRAGILE" to insure special handling, and be sure to advise the move Supervisor of the sensitive nature of these items. Proper labeling and communication is essential for moving these items safely.
-
Tape boxes to prevent papers from falling out.
-
Label boxes with new location building name and room number.
-
If items are personal or deemed irreplaceable, individuals should box and move them themselves.
-
Submit mail deliver changes to Mail Services. Include: names, location moving from, location moving to, and mail code.
-
Setup phone and data connections by contacting tlchelp@indstate.edu and ithelp@indstate.edu.
