responsibilities, and lack of planning can be a costly carelessness for you. By
making a plan, you can decrease your tensions and rush on moving day. You must
collect boxes to pack your stuff. Moving will not start with packing, but with
the collection of packing material. You must have all packing supplies with you
and start packing at least 2 to 3 days ago. To make your life easy, here are
some Packing Tips for Your House Moving Day.
Collect All Packing Supplies
You must have different moving
boxes to pack all items. It will be good to purchase boxes of different size.
You must buy good quality storing boxes, cartons and packing materials. You can
consult professionals to get their recommendations about packing and packing
supplies.

Secure Paperwork in Moving File
You must manage a file to secure
necessary paperwork that you will need during your move. The file may include
papers for the reservation of a moving truck, payment codes of moving helpers,
records of pet veterinarian (if applicable), cash for tips, hotel reservation,
necessary contact information and other vital documents that you may need
before unpacking.
You must keep this file in a safe
place like your bag or purse. It must be a place where the file won’t get
repressed in a mess developed during packing and unpacking.
Pack Individual Suitcases for All Family Members
You have to pack a box or suitcase
for each family member several days ago. A box or a suitcase must have a
disposable razor (if needed), relaxing clothes, washcloth, towel, toothpaste,
toothbrush, soap bar and 2 to 3 dresses. These are everyday items to pack, and
you must consider the personal preferences of each family members while packing
and put every vital thing in boxes. Choose a safe place to keep these suitcases
and boxes, such as your car or neighbor’s house.
Arrange Padding to Fill Empty Spaces in Boxes
Instead of purchasing packing
peanuts and bubble wraps, you can use your clothes as padding. It will save
money, and you can get extra space to pack your clothes. It is like hitting two
birds with a stone. Clothes are malleable than bubble wrap and paper so these
can be a good choice.
If you are packing glassware, you
must separately pack each box. These should be tightly packed with sufficient
padding to avoid clinking between glassware.
Take Photographs of Complex Arrangements
If you have computer, television or
other electronic devices, make sure to take photos of their wire setup and
assembly. If you have to disassemble a machine, it is essential to snap
photograms to frame decorative configurations and arrangements for a quick
reference.
Moreover, if you have pets, you are
responsible for arranging a pet sitter for them. They need special care, and
attention and your carelessness can increase their depression and anxiety. You
have to arrange a pet sitter and babysitter to keep them away from moving
hassles.
