TOP 16 MOVING TIPS FROM PROFESSIONAL MOVER - MOVING TIPS 2022

I was wondering why he was walking the whole vid. Then I remembered he said he’s been moving for 15 years

HAHA me packing last minute and taking a break to watch a video telling me not to pack late.

Make a budget list and moving list. Never rush a move, doesn't work out! Hire moving experts. For peace and comfort. Send out notices. Declutter your stuff. Get rid of things you don't use, get less stressed. Pack little by little every day. Never leave packing at the last minute. Pack a moving essentials tote. So it's accessible during the days of your move in. Give each room a different color label. Don't overpack a box. Too heavy and unlift-able. Use the right size boxes. Put heavy stuff in smaller boxes. Don't leave empty spots in boxes. Shake-proof it, pad it. Bundle all the breakables. Pad these too. Repurpose household items for packaging. Put tiny things inside pots for example. (Or pack your clothes with your plates.) Save space when packing clothes. Fold it or vacuum it. Label and take photos of furniture parts and accessories. Make your things easy to assemble and disassemble. Don't pack hazardous materials with other household materials. Can cause damage. Stock up on packing material for kitchen appliances. (Pad everything so they don't get ruined.) Use plastic wraps to avoid leaks. Bottles and the like. Pack jewelry in small boxes. They get lost in big boxes. Choose a different color for each room. No thin boxes. Also, tape your boxes. Then mark the color of the SIDE of the box. Tape a list at the side of the box. You can use garbage bags. You can vacuum it too. (Especially for compressing pillows and comforters!) Good video!!!

I have a good packing tip. Sometimes I label the box with its locationl of where I kept it at my old house ie..." Under sink mom's bathroom", so at your new place you'll be needing a cream that you know you kept under the sink in your old bathroom, you'll know which box to go to. Yeah.

Fab tips. One that we used personally and want to share is having a picnic bag in our car so we had plates, forks etc for the takeaway and breakfast the next morn. 😊

I always use my towels, sheets and blankets to help pack breakables. I also pack up each bedding set in its own box pillows and all that way when you get where you are going it is easier to open 1 box and make the bed.

We just signed a new lease today and I've already made 2 garbage bags filled with Goodwill Donation. Donating and decluttering does wonders for your brain and mental health. Especially when you over shop and spend on things you dont need.

Also pro tip! If you’re not moving far and you regularly hang your clothes, get a big garbage bag and put like 15 hangers together, and poke a hole in the top of the bag, pull the bag down and tie it under the clothes. I use this to live dresses and coats that are always hanging. After moving I hang them up and tear the bag off, all done

I have credit cards with empty balances and hired professional movers who do an excellent job. I'm packing a bit each day and have an essential tote planned. I do tend to overpack weight -- I'm a little old lady and everybody is stronger than I am. My boxes are well-packed. My apartment is small enough that everything goes into the living room unless it's a bed. The chihuahua and the jewelry travel together. Thank you for assuring me I'm on the right track.

I never wouldn’t thought of putting the spices in pots

This. This is the video we all need. And I laughed at the DONT pack last minute. I have 2 days to get my bootie moved. 14 years of life moving in two days? It’s fine. I’ll be fine. This is fine. I swear it’s fiiiiiine. 😐

Okay, the vacuum idea is f'n genius.

I'm so happy that you mentioned decluttering! You save money by not paying someone to move what you no longer need or use. And if any of it is sellable, you can actually make money to put towards the move!

Oh! Why haven't I seen your advice before!?! I moved 7 times, always used plastic bags! and i didn't use a vacuum!!! It's so pity for me!!! But, thanks! i'll know now!!! Also, I really liked the tip about marking each room with its own color!

"Piece and Comfort" lmao

we added your video to our site 3/24/2023 this is great tips for our customers coming out of FL. Thank you sir!

I love moving. The stress takes my mind off of other stresses in life! And also its a great chance to filter through the old things to make room for the new! Thank you for the tips!

What a great hack using your vacuum cleaner and the trash bags for your clothing and pillows thank you so much

He's on point about packing. Respect! Great tips. Hope he does a video on proper moving techniques, lifting, measuring, removing doors, padding/wrapping, loading, ride securing, and a good beer after.

Thanks for the really useful tips! I don't move places all that much, so your professional experiences really count so much!
