There's no denying it: Even if nothing goes wrong, moving is still a stressful experience. But what if you could make things simpler for yourself? Professional moving company S & S Delivery has been helping customers in Honolulu, HI, securely move their household items since 1977. Their movers have the experience to know that a successful move starts with smart packing. 

That's because customers who are organized and smartly packed not only make their moves easier, but they help guarantee that their belongings arrive safely at their destination. Here, S & S Delivery offers seven tips to help you prepare your items for moving day:

  • Purge: If you can give anything away, toss it in the trash, or donate it, do it. You'll lighten your own load and make room for more important belongings in your new space.
  • Clean Everything: Start in the kitchen and work your way through every room, cleaning dishes, tools, laundry, and anything you'll be taking with you.
  • Back Up Your Computer Files: You'll rest easier knowing that your family photos, important documents, and other files are on multiple devices.
  • Label Everything: Mark every box or container with the room it belongs in. It's a good idea to note as many of the container's contents on the box as well.
  • Separate Fragile Items: Make sure any delicate or sentimental items are packed carefully and separated from heavy furniture or containers. It might be a good idea to move those items yourself.

  • Avoid Clutter: Pile your moving containers together and safely out of walkways. Don't leave them scattered about for the movers to sort through.
  • Communicate With The Movers: Make sure fragile items are labeled "fragile" and point those items out to the movers when they arrive. If you have special concerns or requests, make them known before the move begins.
