📁 Keep all moving documents in one secure place (quotes, receipts, contracts)
⏰ Set timeline goals, start packing as early as possible
📦 Use appropriately sized boxes for each item category
✅ Prioritize essentials to pack last and unpack first
🏷 Label boxes with details like room name and contents
📍 Focus on one room at a time to avoid burnout
💸 Sell, donate, or toss items you don’t need
📦 Start collecting free or low-cost moving boxes from stores or FB Marketplace
🛒 Buy tape, bubble wrap, and other packing supplies in advance

PACK THE BASICS

✅ Start early, packing in advance reduces stress on moving day
🧼 Pack only what you need right away; donate or store the rest
📏 Use the right-sized boxes for different items to prevent damage
🔄 Place heavy items (like books or appliances) at the bottom, lighter ones on top
🚫 Avoid leaving empty spaces, use towels or packing paper to fill gaps
🚫 Don’t mix items from different rooms; this makes unpacking harder
🏷 Label each box clearly with the room it belongs in and a short description
🖊 Mark fragile boxes so movers handle them with extra care
⬆️ Tape boxes securely and always reinforce the bottom
📸 Optional tip: Take photos of electronics before unplugging cables
