Start Packing Early

No one enjoys packing before a move. If you want to make it go as smoothly as possible, you should start packing as soon as you know the date of the move. Trying to pack on moving day will make the job exponentially harder on you, your family, and on your movers. Gather packing materials and make a plan. Then, start packing.

Pack in Order

When you need to pack an entire house, you need to pack in a logical order. The easiest items to pack first are those in the attic, garage, and basement. These are the items that you don’t use very often and won’t need any time soon. Don’t forget off-season clothing, decorations, and sports equipment. The next items are the things you can live without for a few weeks. Pack up your non-essential kitchen equipment, appliances, and utensils. Go through your closet and pack the things you don’t wear often. Do the same with the kids’ toys and your electronics. The day before you move will be busy. That’s when you pack up the rest of the house. On moving day, you break down the bed, pack the bathroom, and finish the kitchen before the Greenville SC moving company arrives.

Use Quality Packing Materials

Whether you are doing a long-distance move or just going across town, you need to use good quality packing materials when possible. That doesn’t mean you should invest a lot of money into specialty packing boxes and high-end tape. Ask friends and family if they have boxes available. Look on local online forums or Facebook Marketplace for people giving away boxes. Buy tape and pens in bulk to save money.
