Helpful Tips for Moving Your Loved Ones

Don’t make packing for a move any more difficult than it needs to be. Take a look at the tips below for making packing as easy as possible, and minimize any unnecessary hassle:

Start by packing non-essentials first, and then slowly working on packing essentials as the move date gets closer.

Make use of luggage, gym bags, duffel bags- pack any clothing, shoes, purses, etc. NO SENSE IN MOVING THEM EMPTY.

Fill up any baskets, bins, containers. Again, there's no sense in moving them empty!

If it doesn’t fit in a box , don’t stress it, we will move it as is.

Check with your local grocery store or package store for used boxes.

Always ask your mover if they have any used boxes, which are FREE.

Use empty egg cartons to pack loose jewelry.

Pack your hanging clothes with a large trash bags.

Properly label each box with its new room location for easy unpacking.

How Do I Properly Pack My Boxes?

To start, make sure box is properly taped on bottom to support weight of packed goods. Layer the bottom of box with packing paper to form a soft cushioned bottom. Start by packing heavier items on bottom working to lightest goods on top. Make sure to use plenty of packing paper, packing peanuts or foam to protect your goods. After one layer is packed, make another layered cushion of packing paper on top and start filling box again. This will create an extra layer of cushion inside your packed box. Make sure there are no empty spaces and that nothing is shifting around inside your box. Always pack your box all the way to the top (this will allow for a crush-free box). Once packed to top, fold flaps in and use 3 pieces of tape to ensure top will stay closed. Label your box properly.

- Always tape the bottom and tops of boxes.
- Always pack the box full from bottom to top. Remember boxes are supposed to be full and sometimes are on the heavier side. If there is give in the box, goods can become damaged.
