Packing & Moving Tips

To help alleviate some of the stress of moving, start as early as possible to rid yourself of things you no longer wish to keep or no longer use.  Here are our suggestions:

• Donate clothing, old furniture and household items to charity.
• Arrange for bulk-pick ups from your city.
• Have a Yard Sale.

When it comes to packing your possessions, you can never be too careful:

• Use the right sized boxes for the items you pack.
• Utilize small boxes for heavy items such as books, tools or canned goods.
• Use large boxes for light items such as linens, toys and lamp shades.
• For china and crystal dishpacks are best.
• All boxes should be sealed at the top and bottom.
• Try to not over pack or under pack your boxes.
• Use newspapers between the items you pack. Make sure nothing rattles around inside the boxes:  if it doesn't shake, it won't break!
