The bigger your home or office is, the more confused you can get with packing serivce. When you pack, you need to be patient and think in advance. The latter is essential because you can get some job done sooner and ease into the rest of the packing process. When you think enough in advance and organize properly, you will know what you can put in boxes first. Here is what you can do.
Start Early Enough
Even if you scheduled your relocation in six months, it won’t hurt to start today. Why? Because the earlier you get on with it, the less stressed you will feel as the scheduled relocation day with the moving company approaches.
1 Month Ahead
We suggest starting as early as possible, and it’s up to you to decide when you should start packing, mostly according to the size of your home. Generally, a month before the moving day you can already pack anything that is out of season or things you know you won’t use. Artwork and the items that aren’t in daily use can also be packed.
3-2 Weeks Ahead
As you move closer to the relocation day, you can start packing some electronics (mostly the appliances you don’t use all the time), most of the children’s toys, and most of the linen. Also, archived documents in the office you know you won’t need 2 weeks before moving out can be packed, as well as the other supplies.
Last Week Before Move
As the days go by and you’re moving closer to the relocation day, you will be surrounded by boxes more and more. Leave only the essentials like enough clean clothes, daily toiletries, and other items that go into your move-in kit, e.g., the first box you will unpack when you transfer to the new location.
Don’t Forget Safety
Even though more and more US citizens are getting vaccinated at this point, COVID-19 is around us and it is real. Make sure to clean and sanitize when packing, and wear masks and keep enough social distance from the movers on your relocation day. Stay safe.
