Moving Tips

This list of tips will ensure that when you are moving, either between cities or states, it will be much less stressful than you think.
  • Pack an overnight bag with all of your essentials. Think about what you would pack for a one night stay in a hotel. Toothbrush, toothpaste, cellphone charger, etc should all be in this bag. Put any essential electronics, like a laptop, in this bag as well and carry it with you.
  • Pack any items you need first in a clear plastic bin. You do not want to spend your first night in your new place ripping open cardboard boxes looking for that one thing you were sure you put in there.
  • If you have access to your new home before you move in, it's a perfect time to clean the bathroom and kitchen. Taking care of this before furniture and other bulky items move in will lessen your stress later. The clear bathroom and kitchen will also make it easier to get to those hard to reach spots.
  • Pack plates and dishware vertically, like your record collection. This will make them less likely to break during the move.
  • Keep screws and bolts in ziplock sandwich bags and label the furniture they belong to. Then tape them to the main piece of the furniture.
  • If you are not computer savy, take a picture of the back of electronic devices. This will help you when you are setting them up in your new home.
  • If you are moving into a rental property, take pictures of every room before you move in. This will ensure you get your deposit back and save you any difficulties you may encounter.

If you have heavy and large items, or even small delicate ones, it is a good idea to hire professional movers. Hiring a NJ moving company, like Gibraltar Van Lines, will end up saving you more than having your friends help.
