Before you start the moving process, it's important to have the necessary supplies on hand. Have boxes, tape, blankets, dollies, and other essential items on hand in order to ensure you waste no time getting things packed up. When packing your belongings, you need to consider using high quality boxes and cartons to help minimize the amount of damage done to items when they're shipped or driven to your destination.
Once you have packed things up, ensure to keep the boxes organized by room and know how many boxes you have used for each room. It's not a bad idea to keep a master list of all the boxes you have packed and which rooms they belong to. This is what the pros do to ensure they don't lose any items in the move.
Another good idea to keep in mind while packing is to place heavier items on the bottom of the box and lighter items on top. A lot of times, when you're packing many different items in a single box, using towels, sheets, or blankets to fill the gaps between items in the box will prevent things from moving around and breaking during the move.
When you're breaking down bigger items, like beds and dressers, it's important to keep all the screws, nuts, and bolts together; place them in a bag and store it near the furniture it belongs to. There is nothing worse than getting to your destination and not having the pieces to put your furniture together.
You want to ensure you don't pack boxes heavier than 50 pounds. This will make them easier to maneuver and allow you to fill in the empty spaces in the truck. The tighter the truck is packed, the less likely things will move around and break during the move.
For electronics, it's not a bad idea to take a photo of the back of your devices - such as you DVD player and surround sound system - so you remember how to set them up properly when you begin settling down in your new home.
