Moving Tips
Make a list of everything you are going to pack
Before starting to pack, make a list of everything you are going to pack.
Arrange for the boxes or other supplies more than anticipated
Arrange to bring boxes, bags, and other packing stuff in sufficient quantity, even more than anticipated. If you are buying the boxes from the moving company, you may get refund if they are unused, so don’t worry. The stuff to be moved always tends to be more than seen before moving. Reserve at least 5 boxes for last minute use items like clothing, bedding, towels, shoes and cleaning items.
Use unprinted newspaper or bubble wrap instead of printed newspaper
Don’t use printed newspaper for packing purpose as they may stain your stuff. Newspaper print easily loses its color. An unprinted newspaper can be bought a slightly higher price but it is safer to use for cushioning and packing household goods.
Plan your packing strategy
Before packing, carefully plan your packing sequence and strategy. You may also use wardrobe boxes for packing many closet items. You may pack shoes, belts, and jeans in shopping bags and fill the bottom
of wardrobe boxes with them. Then pack hanging items tightly so that they don’t move and fall off the hangers. Pack the heavier items in bottom. Make sure that you are not keeping any heavy item over a light or fragile item. If you have hired the moving company, a professional packer may better plan your packing.
Give maximum information to moving company
Give all sort of information regarding stairs, lifts, and entrance points and doorways sizes to the moving company for both move out and move in places. This will help moving company arrange best possible move without any hassle or last minute trouble. Especially moving furniture is a delicate issue that needs to be tackled by an expert mover from a professional moving company.
