Packing Tips for a Smooth Move
Proper organization and packing are key to a successful move. Here’s how to stay ahead of the game:
- Start Early: Begin packing non-essential items several days ahead of move day.
- Label Everything: Write room names and contents clearly on each box.
- Pack a First-Night Box: Include toiletries, chargers, medications, and a change of clothes.
- Declutter: Donate or sell items you no longer need — fewer items = lower cost!
- Use the Right Boxes: Moving-specific boxes stack better and protect your items.
- Disassemble Furniture Properly: Keep small parts in labeled bags taped to furniture pieces.
- Protect Fragile Items: Use bubble wrap and packing paper for dishes and glassware.
- Empty Drawers: Prevent damage by removing items from dresser drawers.
- Secure Important Documents and Valuables: Always move these yourself.
- Communicate Special Needs: Let us know if any items need special attention.
Pro Tip: By staying organized, you not only save time but also reduce your final moving costs.
