- Complete all packing by moving day.
You will be busy enough on moving day to have to worry about packing. You could start in areas where the goods are not in frequent use, such as the cellar, attics, garage, closet shelves, etc. Any items that you don't need for your daily living routine should be packed first.
- self service moving
- Before starting the packing, separate your boxes by size, and place appropriate size boxes in each room.
Have all supplies (i.e. tape, bubble wraps, packing paper) lined up next to your boxes when packing.
- Pack on a room-by-room basis.
Don't get overwhelmed. Try to concentrate on one room at a time and do one area of the room at a time.
- When packing it's best not to mix items from different rooms in one box.
For example, don't pack articles from the living room in boxes with articles from the kitchen. This will save much confusion later when its time to unpack.
- When packing keep related boxes together so they will end up in the same room in your new home.
This will cut the carrying time and make the move more efficient.
- When packing don't tape your boxes closed until you're about to go, so you can add items as you see fit.
- When packing be sure that every box is clearly labeled by room and item.
- When packing it is important to label each box carefully, with respect to the contents and its destination in the new home.
