Don’t forget to stop your old utility services, too!

Get It Packed

Get *clean* boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, scissors, rope, furniture pads. Don’t get used boxes from food stores! They can have roach eggs embedded in them, which will transfer to your personal belongings.

Pack a separate box with valuables, medicines, birth certificate and passport.

Pack early anything you won’t need to use before your move.

Save space and money: your towels and linens make great packing material for your breakables.

Leave clothing in drawers.

Take apart beds and tables, put the hardware in a ziploc bag and tape it to them.

Wrap paintings and mirrors in blankets.

Get It Moved
