The announcement comes as damaged items continue to top the list of moving complaints. Data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration shows that 40% of complaints involve damaged items, for an average loss claim of $10,000 - almost twice more than the average cost of an interstate move, which is just over $5,600.

While moving insurance can compensate owners for potential damage, many choose to pack their items themselves - and making sure valuable furniture is adequately protected is essential, explains Movers.com.

Homeowners will want to use as much padding as possible, paying particular attention to corners and making sure to cover all exposed wood. The guide warns against wrapping wood furniture in bubble wrap, since wood is porous and may be damaged by the plastic.

An important part of the packing process should be disassembling the small bits that may be damaged. “Some wood furniture, especially older antique pieces, may have small parts such as handles, knobs and casters that can be dislodged during a move,” explains the guide. “Before you wrap the furniture, remove these pieces and safely pack them away in a brown envelope or Ziplock bag. If there are drawers or cabinets on the piece, you can tie them shut with twine and place some padding underneath. This prevents the coarse twine from directly coming into the contact with the wood. Never directly tape any part of the wood furniture.”

Expert tips on moving and loading wooden furniture are also included.

For Bridgeport apartment owners looking for licensed and certified movers in their areas, Movers.com also offers a list of pre-screened companies.
