Moving Tips

Here is a list of moving tips that may be helpful for your upcoming move:

​

1. Start packing well in advance of your move. This will allow you to take your time and pack your belongings carefully, rather than feeling rushed and potentially damaging items in the process.

2. Make an inventory of your belongings. This will help you keep track of what you have packed and ensure that nothing gets lost or left behind.

3. Label boxes with the contents and the room they belong in at your new home. This will make it easier to unpack and get settled in your new home.

4. Consider using specialty boxes for fragile items. For example, you can use dish pack boxes for dishes and glasses, and mirror boxes for mirrors and picture frames.

5. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect fragile items. Place a layer of packing paper or bubble wrap on the bottom of boxes and wrap each fragile item individually before placing it in the box.

6. Don't overpack boxes. If a box is too heavy, it will be difficult to lift and could potentially break.

7. Use luggage and duffel bags to pack lightweight items such as linens and clothing. This will save space in boxes and make it easier to transport these items.

8. Disassemble larger items, such as beds and tables, and wrap them in moving blankets to protect them during the move.

9. Keep a box of essentials with you during the move. This should include items such as medications, phone chargers, and a change of clothes.

10. Consider hiring a professional moving company to help with the move, especially if you are moving a long distance or have a lot of heavy or fragile items.
