Moving Tips - Moving Van - Moving Furniture

When you are moving, there can never be enough tips to make the entire process easier on you. You are always going to be looking for ways to streamline the process and make it completely easier for you. Therefore, here are a few more tips to help make the entire process easier for you.

The first tip is that when you are stacking your dishes, always stack them upwards when packing. You never want to pack your dishes on top of each other in a box because there is a greater likelihood they will break if something is put on top of them. You should also never use printed newsprint to wrap your fine china as the print will actually rub off on your dishes.

Any important or sentimental boxes, you should always pack separately. You can lose a television, you can lose a computer, but you don’t want to lose the only pictures you have of your parents who have passed on, or the foot prints in ink of your first born child.

When you are moving furniture or other large items like desks, you should make sure you tape all parts of it to the main base. Too many people have moved to the new location and realized that they forgot the important side-piece to their desk 300 miles away.

You may think that you are saving space by mixing items from different rooms in the same box, but this is actually the wrong way to go. The reason for this is that if you mix items from your living room and your bathroom, then at some point you are transporting things from that box through the house to the location they are supposed to be at. This is wasted time, and it can be prevented by having the boxes that are meant for that room, in that room.

Spend the money on getting tape for your boxes. Many people try and save money by only interlocking the tops of the boxes, but this is not a good idea because at some point the box is going to be picked up the wrong way, or be tipped over, and it is going to result in a lot of stuff coming out.

On the same note about box tops, never use boxes that do not have tops. When you are putting things into a moving van, you need to capitalize on space and that involves stacking boxes as much as you can. If you don’t put a top on the boxes, you cannot stack them properly and you lose space.
