Tips for Military Moves
We are continuing our conversation outlining some tips to help you with an upcoming
military move. Our previous article discussed some tasks to perform before your move including making a pre-move checklist, decluttering, and organizing your belongings, reach out to the military housing office, and engaging a full service moving and storage company that has experience with military moves. Today, we will look at another moving tip as provided by our team of experienced long distance and local movers.
Pack Like a Pro
Packing can be overwhelming, but with a strategic plan, you’ll tackle it like a pro. Start by creating a room-by-room packing strategy – consider packing non-essential items first, leaving everyday essentials for the end. This way, you won’t find yourself rummaging through boxes looking for necessary items before you move.
Invest in quality packing supplies. Sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers are all essential items that will ensure your belongings are protected during transportation. Color-coded labels or an inventory management app will come in handy, allowing you to track and identify boxes.
When packing fragile or sentimental belongings, take extra precautions to protect them. Wrap delicate items such as electronics, porcelain, and glassware carefully in bubble wrap or packing paper. Label these boxes as “Fragile” to ensure your full service moving and storage company handles them with extra special care upon arrival.
If all of this sounds overwhelming, don’t fret. You can always engage the packing services of your full service moving and storage company to handle all of the packing for you!
