Top 15 Moving Tips
- Start Early – Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move to avoid last-minute stress.
- Label Everything – Mark boxes with the room and a brief description (e.g., “Kitchen – Pots & Pans”).
- Pack an Essentials Box – Include toiletries, clothes, phone chargers, and important documents for the first night.
- Use What You Have – Pack breakables in towels, blankets, and clothes to save on bubble wrap.
- Declutter Before You Move – Donate, sell, or toss items you don’t need to lighten your load.
- Take Photos of Electronics – Before unplugging, snap a pic of the cord setup so you can reconnect easily.
- Keep Hardware Together – Use sandwich bags to store screws and label them for each piece of furniture.
- Avoid Overpacking Boxes – Heavy boxes are hard to lift and more likely to break. Keep them under 50 lbs.
- Use Clear Bins for Important Items – Things like remotes, medicines, and pet supplies should be visible and easy to find.
- Pack Room by Room – This keeps things organized and makes unpacking much easier.
- Change Your Address Early – Update your address with USPS, banks, and subscriptions at least a week ahead.
- Secure Valuables Separately – Pack passports, jewelry, and personal records in a bag you keep with you.
- Empty Drawers Carefully – Remove heavy items to prevent furniture damage or injury.
- Take Breaks – Moving is exhausting. Stay hydrated and rest when needed to avoid burnout.
- Hire Professionals You Trust – A reliable moving company can make all the difference — like us! 😉
