Pack last & open first

Packing for a move can feel like a giant puzzle, but knowing what to pack first and last makes the process much smoother! 🎯 Follow this guide to keep your move organized and stress-free.

First get these items packed and out of the way:

1️⃣ Off-Season Clothing – If you’re moving in summer, those winter coats can go in first (and vice versa!).

2️⃣ Decor & Wall Art – Your home will feel less cozy, but these aren’t essential for daily life. Pack up your photos, keepsakes, and momentos. See how they can be kept safe and secure in one of our totes. Click here.

3️⃣ Rarely Used Kitchen Items – Holiday dishes, extra appliances, and special occasion glassware can be packed early. 🍽️

4️⃣ Books & Collectibles – Unless you’re a daily reader, pack up your library early to save space. 📚

5️⃣ Storage & Garage Items – Items in your attic, garage, or storage unit can be packed well in advance. 🏡

💡 Pro Tip: Rent stackable, sturdy plastic totes instead of flimsy cardboard boxes! Check out our rental packages for an easier move. Why choose totes over boxes? Click here to find out!


⏳Pack Last but Not Least:

1️⃣ Daily Toiletries – Keep essentials like toothpaste, facial products, shampoo, and medications accessible until moving day. 🛁

2️⃣ Essential Kitchenware – Leave a pot and a few plates, cups, and utensils should stay unpacked until the last minute. Or you could opt for paper products as an alternative.🍴

3️⃣ Important Documents – Keep passports, contracts, and financial paperwork in a secure, easy-to-find place. A small lockbox works well for these items.📄

4️⃣ Chargers & Electronics – Phones, watches, tablets, laptops, and their chargers should stay available for communication and entertainment. 🔌

5️⃣ A Moving Day Essentials Tote – Pack a tote with a change of clothes for each person, non perishable snacks, water, cleaning supplies, and anything you’ll need right away at your new place. 🎒
