Tips & Tricks
FOR PACKING & MOVING
Make your move easy!
There are probably a lot of to-dos you've put on your list before your moving day, and it may seem a little daunting. Have no fear! Our moving experts are here to help. We've compiled a list of some tips and tricks to get you on your way.
-
Pack it up – packing is perhaps the most important aspect of any move. You can purchase supplies from us, or better yet, why don’t let us do the packing for you?
-
Anything that can fit into a box, should be in a box. This includes electronics, lampshades, lamps, glass pieces, artwork, framed photos, pillows, betting, small flower pots, etc.
-
Heavy items should be in smaller boxes, and light items in large boxes.
-
Mattresses and box springs should be in mattress bags or boxes to make sure they are kept clean and dry.
-
All boxes should be properly labeled, on the side of the box so the movers can tell what room they will need to go.
-
Make sure all your items are packed before the moving day. This allows the movers to focus strictly on the moving, and makes the move go much faster.
-
-
Keep your important items with you – don’t pack cash, jewelry, or prescription medications – you may need access to them on your move day. Special heirlooms, items that have special emotional value or inherently irreplaceable property that should be kept with you as well.
-
Get out your cooler – You’ll need to transport perishable goods, and improperly packaged foods yourself, we are happy to load them into a cooler for you.
-
Be prepared – talk with our office about where the movers should park the truck, how to access your apartment, and if there will be any obstacles along the way.
