If this will be your first relocation or it has been a long time since you’ve moved, you may be wondering how to pack for a move. You probably already know the basics but these tips, which are well-known by the best movers, can help make the entire process quicker and easier.
Reduce How Much You Plan on Moving
Chances are good that your family has accumulated more possessions than you need to take with you. It could be toys, sports equipment, tools or even furniture you don’t need. This is the perfect time to pare down–plus, it can help reduce your moving costs, which are usually calculated by weight or number of boxes.
Keep Important Papers Together
Set aside a folder or box to hold all your moving-related paperwork. This includes your movers’ contract, packing lists, and to-do lists. This way, you can refer to any documents that are related to your move quickly.
Organize Your Move by Room
As you pack up your current home, stack and label your boxes according to which room they correspond to in your new home. This is especially helpful if you’re upgrading or downsizing your home and will have more or fewer rooms to move into.
