My husband and I have moved plenty of times, but it’s always been local moves where we could haul stuff in our cars and maybe rent a U-Haul for the big stuff. This time we’re moving to another city due to a job transfer, and it’s a whole new ballgame. Throw in the fact that we’re 10 years older than our last move, and well, it’s not been as easy as I remember it. We’re in the home stretch, so let me be honest and say we’ve broken almost all of the tips below, so I’m offering these in retrospect.
Moving is one of the most daunting tasks you’ll ever have to do, but you can make it easier with these expert tips and solutions. A binder specifically designated for your move will save you time, energy and possibly money. Create your binder at least two months before your move, and organize it into the following categories:
You have gone through the packing drills: Boxes? Check. Tape? Check. Precise type of boxes? Check. Ready, set, go! Start packing! Wait a second! Hold it! Before you pack every tea cup and toy car in your home, take a break and step back. There are some items you should first set aside; these items should not be packed.
Certain valuables should always be kept close to you during a move, other items can be dangerous and some items simply should be left to the pros to pack to prevent injury and breakage.
Here are some of the items NOT to pack and move with the rest of your belongings:
1. Treasures: Money, securities, valuable papers and jewelry. Keep your treasures with you. If they are already tucked securely in a safe deposit box in the bank, don’t forget to get a new safe deposit box close to your new home and transfer the items there before your move.
2. Flammables: Items such as aerosol cans, paints, and gasoline. Ask the local hazardous waste organization in your community how to dispose of these items properly. The local fire department can point you in the right direction.

If you prefer do to some (or all) of the packing yourself there are definitely methods to increase your productivity and reduce the risk of damage. If you have ever watched a supermarket employee stack your groceries in a paper bag you understand the reasoning behind packing items correctly. Except in this case instead of a carton of eggs you are dealing with a dinette set or something more delicate and expensive!
Packing is certainly not a difficult task to accomplish if done correctly. Please review the following videos from our affiliate Mayflower Moving and plan ahead for success!
