It’s that time of year again. Time to move and pack up your home for the holiday break! If you’re like most people, you’ll be hosting or attending a Thanksgiving event in another location. Whether you’re traveling across town or the country, moving during the holidays can seem daunting at first. But it doesn’t have to be! Here are some easy tips to make this process easy.
1. Start Packing Early
The earlier you begin packing the more relaxed and less stressful it will be. Make sure to create a list of what needs to be packed for each room. That way if something pops up that doesn’t have an immediate place, is easy to grab on your way out the door in the rush before leaving town.
2. Pack One Box at a Time
This not only helps you keep track of each box, but also makes the process feel more manageable. You’ll be able to see your progress as time goes on and have a sense of accomplishment with every finished task.
3. Use Packing Materials
Having plenty of bubble wrap, packing bags and boxes will help reduce the number of damaged items. If you don’t have these materials readily available, consider purchasing them in bulk online.
Furniture is one of the most expensive items you’ll pack up during your move so they must be well protected. Use furniture pads when possible and then bubble wrap if that’s not enough.
4. Label Each Box
This will help save time unpacking at your new location and prevent confusion about which boxes to unpack first! It’ll also make returning all of the rented moving supplies easier when it comes time for that. Make sure to put an address on each box, label them with their contents and be as specific as possible.
Final Words
Moving can be hectic and stressful that’s why you should hire professional movers. Not only will they be able to pack up everything in your home, but also transport it safely and quickly!
