Packing and moving valuables like jewelry, antiques or other items which may have sentimental value and are irreplaceable, are best kept with you or a family member during your move. The moving process can be overwhelming, and you want to be sure not to lose track of things that you rarely use, including those with sentimental value. Regardless of who moves your valuables, these items need to be packed with care during transportation. This doesn’t need to be something that causes you stress, it just requires a little pre-planning.
