Plan Ahead for Success
Create a Moving Checklist: Start with a checklist of all tasks—packing, notifying utilities, changing your address. This simple tool helps you stay organized and avoid last-minute surprises.
Schedule Off-Peak: Mid-week or mid-month moves can save you money since movers often offer better rates and more availability during these times.
Declutter Before Packing: Sort through your belongings and donate or sell items you no longer need. Decluttering makes packing simpler and helps reduce moving costs.
Pack Smart and Efficiently
Use Wardrobe Boxes: These let you move clothes directly from closet to wardrobe box, saving time and keeping items wrinkle-free.
Color-Code Your Boxes: Assign a color to each room in your new home and label boxes accordingly. Movers can then place boxes in the right room, speeding up your unpacking.
Prepare an Essentials Box: Pack a box with toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and basic kitchen supplies for immediate access on your first day.
Wrap Drawers with Plastic Wrap: Keep drawer contents intact by wrapping them, eliminating the need to empty drawers separately.
