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! ๐ŸŽฏ Follow this guide to keep your move organized and stress-free.

โœ… First get these items packed and out of the way:

1๏ธโƒฃ Off-Season Clothing โ€“ If you’re moving in summer, those winter coats can go in first (and vice versa!).

2๏ธโƒฃ Decor & Wall Art โ€“ Your home will feel less cozy, but these arenโ€™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.

3๏ธโƒฃ Rarely Used Kitchen Items โ€“ Holiday dishes, extra appliances, and special occasion glassware can be packed early. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

4๏ธโƒฃ Books & Collectibles โ€“ Unless youโ€™re a daily reader, pack up your library early to save space. ๐Ÿ“š

5๏ธโƒฃ Storage & Garage Items โ€“ Items in your attic, garage, or storage unit can be packed well in advance. ๐Ÿก

๐Ÿ’ก 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!


โณPack Last but Not Least:

1๏ธโƒฃ Daily Toiletries โ€“ Keep essentials like toothpaste, facial products, shampoo, and medications accessible until moving day. ๐Ÿ›

2๏ธโƒฃ Essential Kitchenware โ€“ 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.๐Ÿด

3๏ธโƒฃ Important Documents โ€“ Keep passports, contracts, and financial paperwork in a secure, easy-to-find place. A small lockbox works well for these items.๐Ÿ“„

4๏ธโƒฃ Chargers & Electronics โ€“ Phones, watches, tablets, laptops, and their chargers should stay available for communication and entertainment. ๐Ÿ”Œ

5๏ธโƒฃ A Moving Day Essentials Tote โ€“ Pack a tote with a change of clothes for each person, non perishable snacks, water, cleaning supplies, and anything youโ€™ll need right away at your new place. ๐ŸŽ’
