Moving can be overwhelming when you think about everything you have to pack and unpack. However, you can take steps to smooth your transition. When preparing to move, keep these helpful tips in mind.

Moving Day Prep Solutions

1. Organize by Room

As you pack items from each room, clearly label the boxes with their designated location. When you arrive at your new place, unpacking will go much quicker knowing which possessions go in each room. Take fragile and expensive items with you in your personal vehicle.

2. Make Electronic Re-Connects Easier

movingYou probably don't notice how many plugs are needed to power up computers, consoles, and other electronic equipment until it’s time to pack them up. Skip the frustration and guesswork, and take pictures of how the equipment is installed now. You can refer to these pictures when it's time to reconnect them.

3. Get a Vehicle Tune-Up

Before moving day, you should have your vehicle tuned up. While you’re at it, get the oil changed and have the tires checked for proper tread and alignment. Nothing slows down a move like a stalled car or truck on the side of the road.

4. Use Storage Facilities

Even after packing, tossing out unwanted items, and donating others, you may still be strapped for space in your new dwelling. Find the nearest storage facilities in the area and get information on unit sizes and rates ahead of time. After moving, you might need additional space to store some of your possessions.
