So, you will have to pardon my current obsession with moving, and hopefully benefit from some of the lessons I have learned from my current move. Additionally, read on below for tips on moving your dolls to and from conventions, auctions and doll shows. Pack the dolls yourself . Even if you are having movers pack the rest of your items, no one will take the same care to pack your dolls as well as you. However, there were a few dolls and doll items which I had not packed myself.
Most movers have no idea of the delicate nature of collectible dolls, either antique or modern.
My movers, for instance, tried to squeeze several modern NRFB Barbies in a box just slightly too small. But, a mover would have no idea about that. Then the movers packed a large Kestner antique German doll. I walked in, explained to them a bit about how delicate the doll was, and it was repacked properly, face up. And packing paper and boxes.
