Begin packing and organizing at least 2–4 weeks before your move date.

2. Label Everything

Clearly label boxes with room names and key contents to make unpacking easier.

Donate, sell, or toss items you no longer need to cut down on boxes.

4. Pack an Essentials Box

Include daily necessities like toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, and important documents.

Sturdy boxes, packing tape, and bubble wrap help prevent damage.

6. Disassemble Furniture Ahead of Time

Take apart beds, tables, and other large items in advance to save time.

7. Protect Fragile Items

Wrap breakables in packing paper, bubble wrap, or towels to keep them safe.

Use ziplock bags to store hardware and label them by item.

9. Confirm Details with Movers

Double-check your moving date, addresses, and any special instructions.
