PACKING BOXES - Fayetteville NC

Now that you have purchased all of your supplies, you are probably ready to start packing boxes full of all your belongings. Keep these helpful tips in mind when you are packing. First off, see if a friend or neighbor would be willing to watch your children and pets when you are packing as well as on move day. This will eliminate distractions and keep you focused on packing.

When you are packing boxes, plan ahead for what you’ll need the first day at your new home. We recommend packing a separate bag that has all your toiletries, a change of clothes, toys for the kids, and any other necessities you may need. Having things organized in this manor will eliminate you from digging through random boxes as you try to remember where you placed things.

This leads us to identifying each box. It’s important to write on each box with a permanent marker labeling where it should go and its contents. Make sure you keep all your important documents in a safe place during your move. Social Security cards, passports, birth and marriage certificates, medical records, credit card and bank records, tax returns…all of these items should be in a safe place and NOT in the moving truck.

Drain all your power and yard tools before the move so they won’t leak in the moving truck. This could cause a major disaster if oil or gas is spilled all over the back of the moving truck and gets on all your other boxes.
