Moving Tips – Be Prepared for a Moving Experience Whether you’re preparing for a local move or a long distance move, there are several tried and true moving tips to get you ready for ‘The Move”. There are two main concepts to keep in mind when preparing for a move – less stuff means less to move; and you need to transport that less stuff from Point A to Point B safely. Less Stuff Now’s the time to clean house, literally and figuratively. Not only should you declutter if your home is on the market, but remove the clutter rather than pack it. To determine if an item is going to make the move ask these questions: If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s either worth saving, worth selling or worth donating – the choice is yours. If you answered no, toss it. Moving It The stress of moving day is caused by not being completely packed and prepared. Packing supplies should be purchased 4-6 weeks in advance of the move. While using secondhand boxes is an inexpensive option, once a box is used, it loses 20% – 30% of its stability. Have new boxes in a variety of sizes on hand, along with packing tape, a marker, unprinted newspaper and bubble wrap to make packing easier and keep your items damage free. Use the following guidelines to help estimate how many boxes you need to move: In addition to these boxes, make sure to have plenty of 30 mil, contractor grade trash bags on hand as well as 10 extra medium boxes for moving day. Trash bags can be used to pack comforters, pillows, sheets, etc. More tips for a stress-free move: Being prepared will not only reduce the stress of moving day, it can help reduce costs, as movers and rentals are often based on hourly charges.
