Moving Tips

​Pack a box of essential items
Pack a box of essential items you will need immediately after the move and make sure it’s the last thing added to the truck.



Make a list

Moving can be a source of high stress.Prepare for this by using our moving checklistbeforehand.



Stow your kids’ keepsakes

Don’t get rid of your children’s favorite things before the move – even if it makes it easier. Kids sometimes have a hard time dealing with the change of the move itself.



Pack important & sentimental documents separately

Pack important and sentimental documents separately to be easily accessible including: children’s health records, passports, family records, insurance information and photo albums.



Utilize wardrobe boxes.

These tall boxes are perfect for bulky, lightweight items such as comforters, pillows, and blankets, as well as clothes that need to remain hanging. Call your mover to ask the width of the wardrobe boxes they'll be bringing. Then measure the clothes in your closets (including coat closets) to see how many wardrobe boxes you'll need. You can also use them for closet storage boxes, shoe boxes, and other bulky items such as fabric bolts, large baskets, or gift wrap tubes.



Color coordinate.

Designate a color for each room in the new home, such as yellow for kitchen, orange for dining room, etc. Apply colored stickers on the box near the box number. In your new home. Put a matching sticker on the door to each room. The movers will know where to put everything when they arrive at the destination. It's also helpful to post a big sign on the wall in the room where you want boxes stacked, ("Boxes here please") to keep them out of furniture and traffic areas.
