Packing and Unpacking Service

Here are some packing tips we want to share with you, for the big day:

1. Start Early: Begin packing well in advance of your moving date. This allows you to pack methodically and reduces last-minute stress.

2. Declutter First: Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. This reduces the volume of items to pack and move, saving time and money.

3. Use Quality Packing Materials: Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and strong tape. Proper materials protect your items and prevent damage during transit.

4. Label Boxes Clearly: Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking easier and helps movers know where to place each box in your new home.

5. Pack Heavy Items in Small Boxes: Use smaller boxes for heavy items like books and large boxes for lighter items like linens and pillows. This prevents boxes from becoming too heavy to lift.

6. Protect Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items individually with bubble wrap or packing paper. Use padded dividers for dishes and glassware to prevent breakage.

7. Use Suitcases and Duffel Bags: Maximize space by packing clothes, shoes, and other non-breakable items in suitcases and duffel bags.

8. Create an Essentials Box: Pack a box with essential items you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, basic kitchen supplies, and important documents.

9. Disassemble Furniture: If possible, disassemble large furniture items to make them easier to move. Keep screws and small parts in labeled bags taped to the furniture.

10. Seal Liquids and Hazardous Materials: Ensure all liquids are sealed tightly and packed upright. Check with your moving company about regulations regarding hazardous materials.
