Being prepared ahead of time can keep you from getting too overwhelmed on moving day. It's important that you be organized, prepared, and
conscious of important details to ensure a thorough and safe move.
Pets - Make sure to arrange to have your pets away during moving day to ensure their safety, and the safety of the movers.
Be Considerate - Be sensitive to your neighbors, when both moving out and moving in, and ensure that you observe any regulations
regarding moving in or out of your new home. Ensure that the movers quickly move their vehicle if necessary, and are not unnecessarily
obstructing traffic on your street. Also be aware not to leave any trash, unwanted furniture or other debris on or near your property;
dispose of it properly, If you share a waste container with neighbors, avoid overfilling it by going to the local dump to dispose of large
quantities of trash and debris.
Clean Up - Leave your old home in the same condition, as you would expect to find your new one, cleaning up as much as you can before
and after moving.
Help Movers - Make sure to provide your movers with any information or assistance they may require to successfully complete your
move; make sure you are present and available until the move is complete. For a good job, you can tip up to $20 per mover depending on the
difficulty of the move and the quality of their work. If you enlisted friends, make sure to arrange to return the favor.
- Boxes - Weight for intended contents
- Packaging Tape - Heavy duty tape at least 1 1/2" to 2" wide
- Packing Paper - Unprinted newsprint
- Markers - To label boxes
- Masking Tape - To tape wrapped items
If you've decided to do your own packing for your next move, make sure to follow these handy tips:
Start Early - Begin packing items you won't need, or seldom use, a few weeks prior to your move. This will give you time to be more
organized, and won't make the task seem so overwhelming.
Moving Supplies - Use clean boxes and unprinted newsprint paper to pack your possessions. Boxes you may get from the grocery store
may be dirty, or weak, risking breakage. Also, use unprinted, rather than regular, newsprint paper to pack your possessions; ink from
newspapers can stain your possessions.
Work Room-by-Room - Pack one room at a time, ensuring that you don't mix items from different rooms in one box. This will make
locating items easier during unpacking.
Labeling - Mark each carton on the top and front clearly with the contents of the box, and the room you intend to put the items in at
your new house. In order to make it easier for the movers to identify the correct rooms, you can place colored stickers on the boxes that
correspond to similarly colored balloons you can place around your new home.
Small Items - Take extra care not to lose or mistakenly throw-out small items by packing them in brightly colored tissue paper, or
boxing them individually, before placing them in a larger moving box.
Heavy Items - Pack heavier items into smaller boxes, placing the heaviest items at the bottom and lighter ones on the top. Try to
keep boxes under 50 lbs.
Hazardous Materials - Remember that some common household items cannot be shipped because they can be dangerous. Examples include
gasoline, oil, bottled gas, aerosol cans, cleaning fluids, and other flammable or corrosive substances.
Valuables - Items of valuable that are costly or impossible to replace, or contain private information should be transported by you.
These items include legal documents, bank statements, jewelry, irreplaceable photos, and other valuables.
