Moving From Raleigh - Packing Tips and Tricks

When Moving From Raleigh Pack Yourself and Save Money!

Here is a list to help you make your Raleigh Moving experience a little easier.

1. Use strong packing containers that are in good condition. These can be purchased from moving companies.

You can also check Craig's List. Look in the free stuff section for "curb alerts." Search for moving boxes. People unload from their move and set the boxes out for free - all you have to do is drive over and pick them up. Move fast on these as they get snapped up quickly.

2. Keep in mind that boxes get heavy! Mix heavy and light items together so that the box can be lifted without straining your back. Forty to fifty pounds should be the top limit.

3. Fill any empty spaces in boxes with crumpled newspaper or something to keep things from shifting during the move.

4. Books should be stacked in smaller boxes than other things due to their weight. We like to pack books in plastic grocery sacks (in the boxes). Books are so heavy - so when you go to unpack - just open the box and take out the sacks of books - they are easy to carry in bags with handles!

5. Label each box after packing so you will know which room it goes in. This keeps you from unpacking pots and pans in the bedroom!

6. Don't pack valuables such as jewelry, checks or savings books. Take these with you.

7. Packing can take longer than you think so start early! Pack things you don't use much - like seasonal things - first, label them, and then you will know to unpack them last.

As you are packing for your Move From Raleigh use some of these simple steps to save yourself time and money.
