Packing Tips for Long-Distance Moves

Posted by Evan Haws on February 24th, 2021

It is a sure fact that all types of moves are boring, time consuming and stressful. This is especially to those making long distance moves. So to help you with your cross country move, here are some tips offered by nationwide movers.

  • Before you actually start packing, long-distance movers denver suggest listing out all your belongings, and deciding what you need to take and what you should get rid of. Accordingly, you will be able to decide how long you will need to pack your things. Set deadlines like packing up your garage within a week's time, and make sure you stick to it.
  • It is important that you divide your things equally in your moving boxes. Placing too many things in boxes is as bad as placing too few things in them. Either way, they can end up damaged at the end of the move. So long distance movers suggest mixing moving boxes with heavy and light things.
  • Your moving company suggests not using newspaper to wrap fragile things and lampshades as its print easily comes off. This leaves you with the chore of washing all your things on reaching your new home. A better option is using magazines to wrap the things, or if you can afford it, wrapping material.
  • Denver long-distance movers suggest not leaving packing for the last day. However at times, you end up with lots to do before moving day. In such cases, box all those non-fragile things quickly, and if required, stuff them into bags. However, do not forget to inform your moving company in to take special care of this last minute packing. If possible, you could also carry these boxes or bags with you.

When you think you are done with all your packing, have one of the long distance movers do a last walk around your home. Sometimes they will pick up things you've missed. All this done, you can continue with your long distance move, all ready and packed for it.
