How to Start Packing for Your Move

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

From handling your first move to packing when you're too overloaded to think, these basic suggestions from professional movers in Tulsa can help you commence setting one box on top of another until your house is packed and ready to go.

Get started with Cartons and a Permanent Marker

Get started with that very first carton. Obtain a stack of 'Medium' packing boxes and a permanent marker. Get started with the areas you use least, such as the garage or den. Clear cabinets into boxes (with padding, as needed) and label the box for its contents. Next start another box. Then another. Empty your off-season clothing into one box and your backup toiletries directly into another. Clear out your books and desk drawers to one box along with your less used cooking pots and pans inside of one more.

One carton at a time, label by label, your house is certain to get packed.

Split Your Packing into Feasible Chunks

If perhaps packing the entire home may seem like a large undertaking, break it up. Pack your home office to start with, or all things in your dresser you do not put on regularly. Pack up the storage areas, they might be already half-packed anyway. Divide your home into areas, leaving your most-used items for last. Undertake packing one evening and weekend at a time and congratulate yourself on hitting milestones.

Get Rid of Belongings You Do Not Need

Moving is an ideal time to clear away your possessions of anything you do not need or wouldn't like to bring with you. The many shirts you won't ever wear, the pans you don't ever prepare a meal with, or the household furniture too shabby to be worth the truck space can get booted to the curb or - better still - donate them. There may be a young couple who desperately needs an older durable couch or possibly a family who could really take advantage of that extra mattress.

Get rid of belongings you don't need. Whatever you wouldn't miss in the new home is a candidate to lessen your load and minimize how much you will need to pack.

Allow Yourself Enough Time

If you're not a professional mover in Tulsa, start early. The majority are not able to pack their residence over a long weekend, or even over 3 or 4 weekends. Thus, give yourself plenty of lead-up time to pack the residence - and recognize when it is time to call in the moving company reinforcements if you just can't make adequate progress before your moving date gets near. This is normal, not every person is a packing machine.

Use Professional Movers

Professional movers in Tulsa are usually an important aid when you are preparing for a move. Many individuals hire movers to pack just their big household furniture and a lot of sensitive items, having faith in their knowledge to make certain these items reach the new residence safely. You may also depend on professional movers in Tulsa to take you past the finish line if your personal moving initiatives are not quite accomplished when moving-truck weekend arrives.
