If you are packing and moving to a new house in Memphis, you will always find the need for tips for packing fragile glassware to ensure that it arrives at your new home in one piece. When it comes to packing the kitchen, especially dish ware, everything will need to be packed with care. As a professional, Memphis full service moving company, we have acquired some techniques when it comes to moving fragile belongings.

• Gather the right packing supplies.

Make sure that you have several medium sized moving boxes. You can visit local grocery stores or liquor stores before your move to Memphis in order to make sure you grab enough moving boxes, or you can visit your local Memphis moving company for new moving supplies.

• Prep the moving boxes.

Make sure your moving boxes are sturdy and properly lined before you begin packing your fragile dish ware. The last thing you want to deal with during your move to Memphis is a bunch of broken boxes!

• Wrap each individual plate.

Once you have wrapped the fragile dish ware, make sure to avoid stacking the plates flat as this can lead to breakage. Plates packed on the edges can sustain a lot more pressure than if they’re laid flat.

• Wrap and stack.

Continue the wrapping and stacking process until the box is fully packed. If there is any room left in the moving boxes, place linens or towels in between any space for added security before you secure the box with packing tape.

• Load the truck.

If you have not hired a Memphis full service moving company, you will need to make sure to load the moving truck so that you avoid any unnecessary breakage. Boxes marked as fragile should be packed on the floor of the truck rather than high on top of other items.

In recent news, directly following the Cincinnati Zoo incident involving the beloved gorilla named Harambe, the local Memphis moving company spoke with some of the officials at the Memphis Zoo in regard to the safety precautions in place to prevent something like this from occurring at the Memphis Zoo.

Representatives from the Memphis Zoo stated that they do have safeguards in place, and that each safety feature is dependent upon the specific type of animal in each exhibit. Some of these features include moats and water features, while other features are more technical.

All My Sons Memphis report that a lot of the walls are slanted and backwards so the animal cannot go back up into it. The Memphis Zoo has also implemented “hot-wire” fences which are essentially shock fences that don’t hurt the animal, which allow for the animals to know when they need to back up. Representatives from within the zoo stated that, when it comes to visitors, safety is the utmost priority.

Here at All My Sons Memphis, we put safety at the foremost of all our moving endeavors and appreciate all of the local Memphis businesses that also hold these values. If you are interested in a full service moving experience, call your local Memphis moving company today!

On April 4^th, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of his hotel room in Memphis, Tennessee. As a result, Memphis has become home to several museums and tours that focus on the history of the Civil Rights movement and Dr. King himself.

However, there may be a few things you haven’t learned from your history books about that eventful day in April that are extremely interesting to say the least. To find out what these things are, All My Sons local Memphis movers have put together a list of things you probably didn’t know about the assassination of Martin Luther King.

- James Earl Ray, who was arrested and later pleaded guilty for the murder of Dr. King, had previously escaped a prison in Missouri. Ray traveled to Memphis and rented a second-floor room that had a view of King’s room from across the street.

- King was preparing to go to dinner with Memphis minister, Samuel Kyles, and Ralph Abernathy when he was shot and killed on his hotel room balcony.

- President Lyndon B. Johnson did not attend Dr. King’s funeral service, but rather a memorial service and declared a national day of mourning three days after the assassination took place.

- James Earl Ray desperately tried to rescind his guilty plea after being sent to prison, but his case was never reopened. Dr. King’s family joined Ray’s efforts to be freed, claiming he was an innocent man, but Ray died in prison in 1998.

To learn more about local history and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. after moving to Memphis, All My Sons Moving & Storage, suggests visiting all the educational museums and centers this city has to offer.
