Quick Tips for an Easier Move
· Label all your boxes as to which room they go in, which order they should be unpacked and what is inside them.
· Label one or two boxes “essential” and pack them with soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, prescription pils, snacks, etc. Take this box with you or pack it last.
· Save up newspapers a month in advance as they make great packing paper for anything fragile.
· If you want to save a few bucks, try going to supermarkets and liquor stores and using their boxes for packing up your home… there free!
· Plates and records should always be packed vertically rather than places flat on top of one another.
· Keep the weight of your boxes low. You will be lifting them all day long. If possible, pack heavy items in smaller boxes, which makes them easier to carry.
· Towels, sheets, blankets and even clothes are great to pack around and between breakable objects. Using them to pack will also spare you time in having to pack them separately.
