4 Things You Want Before Moving Day

If you have a big move coming up, here are a few of the basics that you will want to have on hand.

1. Pack it right - It's a clear choice, but you can never go wrong with cardboard boxes for the move. Occasionally people try to cut corners and just throw their belongings in bags from around the house but this is not a good way to stay ordered for a move. Boxes are great because you can stack your belongings in them and then stack boxes on each other. Also, boxes are easier to label so you can keep track of what you have packed.

2. Keep it safe - You have got to have boil wrap if you want your collectibles to remain in tact! No matter how far you are traveling, with cars and trucks full of your belongings, it is very probable that items will shift and without a nice layer of friendly bubble wrap, your breakable items may not make the move in one piece. Bubble wrap is also great to stop rattles and clinks if you are traveling a long distance.

3. Tape it up - Another visible moving essential is tape, but in order to secure bubble wrapped items and close boxes, tape is a must have on your moving supplies list. No need to explain here.

4. Mark it up - Label, label, and then label some more! The best way to keep away from mass chaos on moving day is to make sure everything is noticeable. You need to know what is in the boxes and where it is going. You can use markers to position a few key items in the box and which room of the new home it should go in. This will make the move easier on you and help any movers that you hire.

So whether moving day is just around the corner or even a few months out, make sure that you have on hand all the materials to make your move easier and more organized. Let this be the move that you do not have to dread. And don't forget, if you are running short on time or simply do not want to deal with all the fuss, see if you can get some help! Professional movers are a huge resource if you simply don't have the time or energy for your next move. Not to mention, some will even take care of the packing for you... plus!
