De-clutter the Litter

Begin with the pile of magazines, catalogues, glass bottles, etc, that you have been accumulating from decades. This can reduce a lot of load from your about to be packed stuff. After all, who carries old trash to new home; you can get newer magazines once you move. Keep them in basement, so when the waste pickers come, you can sell it and make a bit profit.

Pack now

Never wait for the movers to ring your doorbell, begin with packing now. Especially weekends are just best to pack stuff. You can also involve kids; even they would enjoy learning how to pack books and toys when moving. If you start at the last day, you would get puzzled what to pack or to leave.

Buy sufficient cartons, tapes and thermocol sheets

Even you would be surprised to see the cargo of things you own. Something will surely miss than you presumed, so each packing box counts. Provisions such as medical, furniture and grocery sell cartons at cheap prices and are very easy to afford.

  • When packing

Labeling

Would you remember which things were packed in which box? Probably not, to consider this you will have to label each box while packing and do not mix the grocery with crockery as they are two different things. In a try to find the flour you may get the knife in hand.

One by One Room

Pack luggage of one room and then move to another. Always keep the boxes in the same room to which they belong to. While moving the boxes out of home, tell the movers to cover all rooms one by one. This way when they would unload boxes, the stuff can be organized quickly and efficiently.

Special boxes

You may use special kind of cartons like garment boxes and crockery boxes while making a move. These boxes are specially designed for moving purposes and are great to avoid damages to valuable items like cutleries and branded outfits. This may save your time and costs you only a few bucks. You can also layer out thermocol sheets in cartons and then place the cutleries inside.

  • On the day of Move

All boxes have been packed and movers are there to move them to the truck. Good! But is there anything left, check it one more time for surety. There are still some duties towards your old home. You have to check if any of the water taps is not open, doors and windows are closed, main electricity switch is turned off, debris are thrown out and the roof drain is not clogged.
