Give Yourself Time

The moving experts (and by that, we mean us) recommend using an eight-week plan, to help your moving and packing go as smoothly as possible. Of course, that is an ideal moving situation, but the rule is the more time the better.

Sort First, Pack Second

As soon as the thought of moving enters your head, you should probably consider purging. Do you really want to spend your valuable packing time deciding what to do with those Christmas decorations in the back of the closet, which you haven’t touched in five years? Decide what to pack, store, or donate before you bring in the boxes.

Pack a Survival Kit

you pull up to your new digs in the moving truck, ready to take in the beauty of your new home. Just as soon as you use the restroom. “Uh, honey where did we pack the toilet paper?” Pack a box with the essential things that you will need for your first day in your new home. Cleaning supplies, toilet paper, toiletries, kitchen utensils, even a change of clothes.

Label Everything

The first major thing to remember is that labels are your friend. Every box or bag you pack to put into the truck should have a label with your name, phone number, and address on it in case they get lost or mixed up on the way to the final destination.
