At 911 Houston Movers, we understand that moving can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, especially when it comes down to the wire.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our top 8 last-minute moving tips to help you make your move easier.
1. Gather Packing Supplies:
Don’t underestimate the importance of having the right packing materials on hand. Gather boxes in various sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers. Having these essentials will save you time and prevent scrambling at the last minute.
2. Declutter and Downsize:
Moving is an excellent opportunity to declutter and get rid of unnecessary items. Donate or sell items you no longer need or use. This will not only reduce the amount of stuff you need to pack and move but also make unpacking less overwhelming.
3. Pack Essentials First:
Pack a bag with essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and medications. This will ensure you have easy access to these items during the move and before you’ve had a chance to fully unpack.
4. Label Boxes Clearly:
Labeling boxes clearly will save you time and frustration when unpacking. Use a marker or labeling system to indicate the contents and destination room of each box. This will make unpacking more organized and efficient.
5. Protect Fragile Items:
Take extra care to protect fragile items like glassware, dishes, and electronics. Wrap them carefully in bubble wrap or packing paper, and pack them in sturdy boxes marked “Fragile.”
6. Utilize Free Moving Help:
Don’t hesitate to enlist the help of friends, family, and neighbors. Their assistance can be invaluable for packing, loading, and unloading boxes. Make sure to provide refreshments and show your appreciation for their help.
7. Arrange for Parking:
If you’re moving to an apartment or a neighborhood with limited parking, coordinate with your moving company and the building management to reserve parking for the moving truck. This will avoid delays and ensure a smooth move-in.
8. Update Your Address:
Don’t forget to update your mailing address with your bank, utility providers, insurance companies, and other important contacts. This will prevent any disruption in mail delivery and ensure you receive important notifications.
