Smart preparation that saves time, money, and prevents moving day disasters
Professional methods to protect your belongings and maximize efficiency
Books, tools, and heavy items should go in small boxes to prevent injuries and box failure. Keep box weight under 50 lbs for safe handling.
Complete one room entirely before moving to the next. This keeps similar items together and makes unpacking systematic and efficient.
Use the plate-packing method for dishes and wrap fragile items individually. Never pack fragiles with heavy items in the same box.
Proven ways to reduce your moving costs without sacrificing quality or safety
Critical strategies for moving day that prevent problems and delays
Be ready before movers arrive and stay available throughout the day to answer questions and make decisions quickly.
Pack a survival box with documents, medications, phone chargers, and essentials. Never put these items on the moving truck.
Check every room, closet, and cabinet before the truck leaves. Once movers are gone, forgotten items become your responsibility.
