Moving Tips from Our Professionals

Movers in Morristown, NJ can make your moving day much more stress-free and simple by providing you with their services. At Gibraltar Van Lines, we have supplied the Morristown area with movers for many years, and look forward to being of service to you and your family.

The decision to move is a big step, but sometimes choosing a new place to live is the easy part. The more difficult part can come when it is time to transfer all of your belongings. Think about everything that you have acquired for yourself, your spouse, and perhaps your kids and pets if you have them. When it comes down to packing everything up, it can feel overwhelming.

Advice from our Morristown, NJ movers is to sort through everything you own and decide what you really need. If you haven't used something in more than a few years, it is time to throw it out, donate it or try and sell it. What better time is there to do a little spring cleaning than right now?

After deciding what is and is not important for you to take with you to your new house, pick one room in your current home and designate it the packing room. Packing up one room and making it storage for all of the boxes and things you will be taking with you can help you to stay organized before moving day. As you add packed boxes to the room, keep track of what is inside them on a master list. Mark the destination of each box in big letters with a permanent marker to ensure that everything ends up where it is supposed to be.

When you are packing each box, try and pack one box that holds the essentials for the room it is going to – and label it as such. For example, if you are packing an essentials box for the bathroom, perhaps a shower curtain, towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner can all be packed together.

Another piece of advice that our movers in Morristown recommend is to pack an overnight bag for every member of your family with things that are needed for the first night's stay. We can guarantee that you are not going to want to unpack every single box the first night you are in your house. This will ensure that everything that is important to you and your family is all in one spot.

When you are packing, do not forget about taking extra care of your kids or pets. If you have young kids, pack a couple of toys or books in a bag that you can keep with you for the day. This will help keep your children occupied. If you have a pet, having a family member or friend watch him or her for the day may be a good idea. Moving day can be hectic, and it could be easier if your pet is out of the house until you move.

Whether you follow this advice or not, our movers in Morristown will be there for you every step of the way. Our services are applicable to both local and long-distance moves, and we provide many services, including packing and crating, furniture movers, antique movers, piano movers and auto carriers.
