When it comes time to move, you need to have all of your ducks in a row, otherwise, the day will not go as planned and you may wind up with a bigger mess on your hands than you expected. Taking the time to pre-pack before your move will save you not only time, but your sanity as well.
The following tips below will help you get ready for the big day and you can use these pre-packing tips to get your stuff ready to go.
- Can Your Boxes Withstand the Weight?
When it comes time to start putting items into your boxes, you want to pack the boxes full, but you do not want to over pack them. In addition, you do not want to under pack the boxes either.
You should always make sure you are using quality boxes to ensure that your items not only fit properly, but that the box will not give in under pressure.
- Label Everything
If you want to find your beloved items later, label them now. By placing a label on your boxes, you are able to recall items quickly and you will know which boxes go in which room.
- Remember the Hardware
Many of the items that you will be moving need to have legs and other pieces removed. To do this, you will need to make sure you have the right tools on hand, but most importantly, make sure you have small bags to store the screws in.
- Use a Dolly When Necessary
Instead of breaking your back to move furniture, rely on the help of your family and friends or consider using a dolly.
If you are moving soon, start pre-packing now so that you are not over worked and over stressed come the big day.
