Packing Tips: Recommendations and advice

Packing tips are free. So, here you go:

Before packing, we recommend hosting a yard or garage sale to clear out unused or unwanted items. This is one of the most effective ways to downsize before a move. Technology makes it even easier—many people sell their belongings on platforms like Craigslist.org, OLX.com, or apps like OfferUp and LetGo.

After your sale, consider donating any remaining items. The fewer things you need to move, the simpler and more cost-effective your move will be!

Tip:

  • Use moving blankets and plastic wrap as needed.

Especially when it comes to delicate wooden furniture, there is no such thing as “too much” protection. It’s always better to be safe than sorry–when you’re wrapping up wooden furniture, do it as thoroughly as possible and cover every square inch of exposed wood.
