Tips For an Easy Move

Moving out of a home can be undeniably stressful. Make things as easy as possible on yourself.  Schedule a donation pickup. Don’t waste time driving to a donation center. Contact local nonprofits (or use a service like donationtown.org) for pickup so you never have to leave home.  Pick a quiet moving day. Weekends are the busiest days to move. Choosing another day of the week may save money with a moving company.  Double down with cloth items. Wrap breakables in clothing and linen. Pack glasses and stemware in clean socks.  Label the sides of boxes. That way you don’t have to move the boxes to read what’s written on them.  Use dresser drawers as boxes. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and they’re ready to go!  Photograph electronics before dismantling. It will be easier to reattach all the cords and wires in your new home.
