Moving to a new home can be a stressful experience, especially if it involves a long distance move. Packing your household goods and furniture is one of the most important tasks involved in this process, and if done correctly can help make your move go much smoother. Here are some great time saving tips for packing for your next long distance move:
1. Start packing early! To ensure that all of your belongings are packed properly and safely, try to start packing at least a few weeks before your move date. This will also help you avoid any additional last-minute stress.
2. Use the right materials. Make sure to use quality boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and plenty of plastic stretch wrap for larger furniture items like dressers, nightstands, and couches. This will help to ensure your belongings arrive safe and sound to your new location.
3. Label your boxes. Labeling your boxes will help make it easier to unpack when you arrive at your new home. It also helps to label any boxes that contain fragile items, so you know to handle and pack them with extra care during the moving process.
4. Disassemble larger furniture. To save space when loading and to make it easier to move your furniture, disassemble things like beds and tables whenever possible. Be sure to wrap the hardware and other parts in plastic stretch wrap, and try to keep these parts either with the furniture they came from, or designate a clearly labeled 'parts box'.
5. Utilize your loading space. If you are moving with a moving truck or shipping container, use the space as efficiently as possible. Load each of your tiers with heavier 'base' furniture on the bottom, then stack boxes on top of your furniture, and finish off the tier with lighter items on the top near the ceiling. Packing your household goods and furniture correctly can help ensure that everything stays in place and will arrive safely to your new destination!
