As you unpack, you may notice some items were damaged or broken during the move. While you don’t have to file a claim for every broken dish to the moving company, if you notice that many of the items were damaged, you should contact the company to find out more information. But if you come across a broken dish, you should pick out the larger pieces, put them in a bag, and throw the bag away so you don’t injure yourself.

When unpacking the rest of the box, you should carefully remove each piece and check it to make sure it is not cracked. Remove more broken pieces as you go and be careful about not cutting your hands. Wear gloves if you have them. Once the box is empty, do not break it down. Instead put it to the side and dispose of it when you can.
