Things to do when packing.
There is no reason for packing bedroom items that you do not use or need. Eliminate as many items as possible. This includes getting rid of clothes and shoes that do not fit , are out of style, or are damaged beyond saving. Knick knacks or decorations that are just collecting dust should also be thrown away. Keep drawers in wardrobes or dressers. Most professional movers will move all but the largest dressers with the drawers and their contents intact. If you are moving yourself, move the drawers outside on moving day then move the dresser to its spot on the moving truck and then reinserting the drawers. Use shrink wrap around the piece of furniture to keep drawers from sliding open or out.
Pack shoes in their original boxes if possible. If you don’t have the boxes anymore than wrap each shoe individually and then wrap the two shoes together so they can’t get separated. Fill the inside of your shoes with rolled up socks to both save space and help shoes keep their shape. Use the bottom of wardrobe boxes for your shoes which is another space saver. Always use mattress pads. Mattresses are easy to rip and tear during a move, so use heavy mattress pads or plastic bags to keep them safe. Use care in disassembling the bed. Try to get masking tape and write down exactly which pieces went where when taking the bed frame apart. Put small pieces in heavy, clear plastic bags and then use packing tape to tape those bags to one of the bars holding the bed together. This keeps everything together and avoids losing things.
Mark your bedroom boxes carefully. Assign each bedroom a number, such as BED1, BED2, etc. and then number the boxes within each room. Label each box with the room name, the box number, and a brief description on the contents. Put the room name and box number to at least 2 opposite sides and the top. Write down the box numbers and contents for each box so you can find them easily when unpacking. Pack a suitcase for each person. Act like you’re going on a three-day vacation, and pack a single suitcase to hold all the necessities that you would need: clothes, eyeglasses/contact lenses, bathroom supplies like soap, shampoo, razor, prescriptions, etc. Then move these suitcases separately from the items on the moving truck. When you arrive at your new place, you won’t be looking around for essentials because they’re all packed in the suitcase. Use wardrobe boxes for transporting hanging garments. Wardrobe boxes are good for packing and moving clothes that are hanging in your closet. These tall boxes have a hanging bar across the top center of the box, allowing you to lift clothes directly off your closet bar and put them straight into the wardrobe box, eliminating wrinkling and hassles and dont forget to fill the bottom up with small items.
