Keep game boxes, expansions and loose components identifiable before packing the shelves.
Inventory complete games and unfinished projects
Separate closed games from an unfinished campaign, loose expansion boxes and painted pieces with projecting details. Photograph each shelf group and record which expansions belong to the base game. You do not need to count every token on moving morning, but an inventory should identify incomplete sets and unusually delicate contents. Keep small parts in suitable closed compartments inside their own game box, without placing tape directly on printed surfaces. Check that an insert actually holds components when carried; a lid alone may not restrain heavy pieces. For example, several family games moving in Givatayim differ from a hobby-room collection leaving Holon with large campaign boxes. Choose manageable outer cartons and avoid making a single very heavy package from an entire shelf. Mark destination and inventory number without advertising collectible value.
Protect the boxes and unpack in a controlled order
Discuss whether games will be packed by the crew or handed over already boxed. Protect corners and provide support against movement without crushing lids or bending boards. Keep liquids, cleaning products and loose metal tools out of the same carton. Delicate miniatures may need their own suitable enclosure rather than more material pressed around them; mention these separately when requesting a quote. Number cartons and keep the list available outside the load. At delivery, count packages and inspect their visible condition before opening one group at a time on a clear surface. Reunite expansions using the inventory instead of sorting everything into a common pile. Keep unfamiliar assembly, restoration and valuation outside the ordinary transport scope unless agreed. Retain packaging while checking discrepancies, and report concerns using the process agreed with the mover.
