Plan Ahead of Time

You can’t expect to pack a full house overnight. You should always give yourself ahead some time in advance to organize and plan your packing. We recommend starting at least 3-4 weeks before the moving day so that you give yourself a decent cushion in case the packing takes longer than expected

Divide and Conquer

Split your packing into stages to make the process more organized and efficient. Start by packing the most underused rooms in your home (i.e. guest rooms, unused bathrooms) so you can gradually pack while living in your home. Afterward, you can move on to packing items you have an abundance of like clothing and dishes.

Lighten Your Load

Don’t waste time packing items if you don’t have a use for them. Getting rid of unwanted belongings not only cuts down on packing and saves you money on your move, but you can also sell some of your stuff to make some extra money to put towards your move. Try hosting a garage sale or selling your items on sites like eBay, LetGo,or Facebook Marketplace.

Color Code Your Move

Incorporating color adds another level of organization to your move. Markers, labels, and stickers can be used to sort your move by color. Use this to assign packing priority and room for your boxes and furniture to keep things in order.
