Practical tips for protecting glassware, electronics and other delicate belongings in transit. Here is what we have learned from moving households across Sacramento and Northern California.

Wrap Items Individually
Wrap each glass and plate on its own, stand plates on edge and fill every gap so nothing shifts.
