Helpful Moving Tips

1. Use boxes of good quality, don’t pack them too heavy and try to purchase same size

-you want to stay away from used boxes and use same size so its easier to stack them in your moving truck, van, trailer or car

-Cut down on boxes by making all of your baskets, laundry bins, hampers, and suitcases work for you.

2. Pack the items you need first separately.

-make sure your movers either place these in your car or at the end of the truck so that you can have easy access

3. Wrap your breakables (glass, mirrors, dishes…etc) in bubble wrap, shrink wrap, or moving blankets

-Pack plates vertically, like records. They’ll be less likely to break.

4. In addition to labeling what’s in your boxes, add what room they’ll be going into, as well.

5. Keep sandwich bags handy for holding any small parts of things you have to take apart, like curtain rods or mounted flat-screen TVs.

6. Take a photo of how your electronics are connected so you can remember how and where all the wires go.
