Label by room – Group items by rooms: kitchen, bedroom, living room, etc.

Mark fragile items – Clearly identify breakables.
-
List essentials separately – Things you’ll need right away (toiletries, chargers, clothes).
-
Note what not to pack – Important documents, valuables, pets, and cleaning supplies.
-
Track packed boxes – Number your boxes and match them to your list.
-
Add measurements – For large furniture to plan placement at the new place.
-
Include donation/disposal list – Things you’re giving away or tossing.
-
Checklist for utilities – Track who to contact to disconnect and reconnect services.
-
Moving day schedule – Time, contacts, and details for your moving crew.
SAY GOODBYE TO UNUSED STUFF
Moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter your life. Go through every room and be honest about what you really need. Haven’t used it in over a year? It might be time to let it go.
✅ Donate gently used clothes, books, and kitchenware to local charities.
✅ Sell valuable but unnecessary items online or in a garage sale.
✅ Recycle or toss anything broken, outdated, or beyond repair.
By saying goodbye to unused items, you’ll save space, reduce stress, and even lower your moving costs. Start fresh in your new home — lighter, cleaner, and more organized!
GET STURDY, UNIFORM PACKING SUPPLIES
Using strong, same-size boxes makes stacking easier, saves space in the truck, and protects your belongings during the move. Choose high-quality packing materials like double-walled boxes, heavy-duty tape, and bubble wrap for fragile items.
Uniformity = efficiency — and fewer damaged items!
PACK THE BASICS YOURSELF
Set aside a personal essentials box with items you'll need right away: toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, medications, and important documents. Keep it with you during the move for easy access and peace of mind.
Being prepared means less stress on moving day!
