Stretch-Wrap Furniture Protection

Historically, movers have used padding to protect fine finished furniture from nicks and scratches. No one was protecting your upholstered furniture properly. Atlas responded to customer concerns of soil damage to upholstered furniture and now employs the use of Stretch-Wrap for every move.

Stretch-Wrap is a strong, clear plastic which covers and clings to your furniture, protecting it from snags and tears, while keeping out dirt and soil. Atlas movers wrap every piece of upholstered furniture before loading it onto the truck. The wrap is not removed until the furniture is delivered safely to its new home. Atlas provides this service for every move at no extra cost to the customer.

 Complete Coverage

Atlas crews cover every inch of exposed exterior on a piece of upholstered furniture, including the front, back, sides and arms. Even areas that are normally "hidden" by cushions are protected with stretch-wrap. Cushions are then securely covered. According to Wade McLaren, President of Blue Bird. The program has been so successful, customers now routinely ask to have other valuables wrapped in addition to their furniture.

Scratch-Free Harley

One customer was nervous about his most prized possession - a motorcycle - so he asked Atlas to cover it with stretch-wrap. When the motorcycle arrived at his new home, scratch-free, the customer was so impressed he gave the van foreman a very generous tip," says Wade McLaren, President of Blue Bird.

Stretch-wrap can be used on just about any item that needs extra protection including barbecue grills and musical instruments. Offered to customers at no additional charge, Atlas's stretch-wrap program is a huge success. "We're thrilled with the positive feedback we're getting from our customers," says Wade, "because it reinforces Atlas's reputation. Atlas is a leader of the moving industry, you now see most of the major van lines using stretch-wrap as a standard preparation tool."
