Here are some of my best moving tips that I have used and will use soon since I’ll be moving again!
- Organize!
- Box things up by room that they go in.
- Label thoroughly. For example, if it goes in the bathroom, which bathroom does it go in and are the items fragile or very important?
2. Get help
- Depending on how much stuff you have, what kind of stuff you have, and where you are moving, you will probably need help.
- Realize all the heavy things that will have to be moved (couch, fridge, washer, dryer, beds, etc.)
3. Boxes
- You can get free high quality boxes from just asking your local shops for some. When I moved across the country, I was able to get a lot of great boxes from the local liquor store.
4. Plan
- Depending on how far away your new place is from your current place, you might need to plan housing arrangements such as hotels or Airbnbs.
- Plan out where you will stop along the way of your trip. Make sure you will be stopping in safe areas that can accommodate your needs (if you have a rental truck you’ll need a lot of space).
5. Rental truck
- I used a U-Haul 26′ truck with my last move. U-Haul was the cheapest option for our needs.
- You can get a quote for rental truck companies near you like Penske, U-Haul and others.
