Professional Movers & Packing Tips

Need Helpful With Packing Tips? 

Whether you're moving across the country or across town, moving is always a little stressful  -- and packing is often the hardest part. 

But with the right preparation, it doesn't have to be. By getting organized, packing carefully and avoiding rookie mistakes, you can be sure that your belongings will arrive intact -- along with your sanity.

1. Start off with the right supplies
Avoid multiple trips to the store by setting yourself up with a full inventory of packing supplies.

 Here are the basics: 

• Bubble wrap for fragile items
• Tissue paper or blank newsprint (newspaper ink can stain)
• Plastic zip-top bags for collecting small items together
• Strong packing tape
• Labels and markers
• Stretch wrap for securing doors and drawers
• 
  

2. Collect a variety of boxes

Sure, you can snag some free boxes at the grocery store, but you'll be limited as to size and quality -- You never know what you'll get. You're better off buying boxes in a variety of sizes from your local home supply store. Some special boxes you might want to consider:

• Wardrobe boxes for hanging items
• Specialty sized boxes for art and mirrors
• Dish pack boxes for breakable items such as China, crystal and wine glasses 
• Boxes especially for TV , Pictures, &  Mirrors

• 3. Know your boxing basics
  Think you know how to pack a box correctly? Consider these tips to make sure:
  
  • For anything breakable, pack the bottom of the box with a bunched  layer of paper for Cushion in the bottom for protection ,Be sure to stuff it into the corners.
  • Choose the right boxes for the right items. Heavier items -- like books and tools -- should go in smaller boxes. Lighter items -- like towels and clothes -- can go in big boxes.
  • Don't leave unnecessary space at the top of boxes -- they could collapse when stacked , so bunched  layers of paper at the top to keep the box full and for an extra cushion.
  • Packing Pictures, mirrors, flat glass , keep box flat like an envelope and tape the bottom of the box securely, bunch paper into a roll and  place at the bottom of the box and bubble wrap the picture and slide it into the box topping with another layer bunched of paper and tape box securely on the top it should be flat like an envelope when completed. 
  • Packing plates and flat dishes. Bunch paper and put in the bottom of the box for Cushion. Bubble wrap each picture or paper wrap each picture placing them into the box vertically & never flat. And top with more bunched paper at the end for more cushion , never leave the box room at the top to collapsed or cave in. 
  • Glasses ,wine glasses & coffee cups , Bunch paper at the bottom of the box for cushion and wrap each glass with two pieces of pack or bubble wrap .   Keep each glass in upright position , Never laying them on their sides. Cushion the top of lots of paper at top , never leave room at the top of box to collapse or Cave in. 
  • Avoid mixing items from different rooms in different boxes. It will make unpacking a lot easier.
  • Once you've filled and taped up your box securely, immediately label it clearly -- before you forget what's inside!
  • 
    
  4. Think outside of the box -- literally
  Get creative and make sure you're using everything at your disposal when packing up your home. For instance:
  • Pack your clothes in suitcases, laundry hampers, baskets and any other carriers you have around the house.
  • Save money on bubble wrap by using towels, washcloths and even clothes to pack breakable items like glasses and dishware.
  5. Create an inventory
  A home inventory is a smart thing to have for insurance purposes whether you're moving or not, but it just so happens that moving is a great time to put one together if you haven't already. As you pack your belongings, make a list of your most valuable items, and photograph them as well. This will protect your belongings in case of accident or theft.
  6. Pack a first-night bag
  There's nothing worse than arriving at your new home and not knowing where anything is. Besides the obvious overnight bag with a change of clothes and toiletries, pack a first-night bag with the following:
  • A flashlight
  • Trash bags
  • A box cutter
  • Cleaning wipes and other basic cleaning supplies
  • Toilet paper
  • Shower curtain
  • Snacks
  • Matches
  • Tool kit
  • Electronics chargers

Relocation Moving Advice 

Here are Six tips on how to settle into your new home and community:

1. Find medical care

One of the most difficult aspects of relocating is finding a physician and dentist you trust in your new town or city. Despite the stress of moving, it’s crucial to find trustworthy physicians for medical help in case any emergencies arise. Keep in mind that while you can ask around for the best local practices, you can also rely on  to speak with doctors online and get any necessary treatments shipped to your new house. 

2. Explore the town

There’s no better way to familiarize yourself with a new place than to poke around for yourself. Ask your neighbors or coworkers for recommendations for the best spots in town, but also wander around without a specific destination in mind to get to know the area better. You might you’re your new favorite shop or restaurant! Finding places in town will help you feel more connected to your community and can help you feel settle in to your new area while also introducing you to like-minded locals.

3. Host a party

Whether it’s a housewarming party or just a potluck dinner, inviting neighbors and new coworkers over to your home is a great way to bond with those in town and expand your friend network. Consider hand-delivering invitations so you have the chance to introduce yourself and personalize the event. To break the ice at the party, you can give a tour of your home, play a housewarming-themed game, or ask for everyone’s history of living in the area.

4. Transfer Services over to New place
Important financial tasks are often forgotten in the mist of moving. Since losing track of bills among piles of boxes is all too easy. Setting up systems before moving can easily transition from old home too new. For monthly bills such as phone, rent or mortgages can really help set them up for auto pay, which you can typically do through your bank or the billing company. 

5. Create a to-do list

If you feel overwhelmed by the errands you need to run and tasks you need to complete, try writing everything down. This will help you visualize your tasks, organize your thoughts, and plan how to tackle them. Then, you can schedule your to-dos based on proximity and relevance to each other and check items off more efficiently. Consider using a to-do journal to keep track of and prioritize short-term and long-term tasks.

6.Make your home your own

Once you move into your new house or apartment, you should get to work on making it feel like home. Whether that means making small repairs, hanging art work or painting some walls, you should be working to feel happy in your new home, especially before you begin unpacking all your boxes. 

When settling into a new community and home, it’s important to make it feel comfortable and uniquely you. Use these tips or discover your own to make your relocation as smooth as possible. Using a professional moving company like Jonesmoverz.com even take the stress of moving off your shoulders, so you can focus on making your new house feel like home.
