Moving Tips

Start with out-of-season items. Next, pack things used infrequently. Leave until last the things you'll need until moving day.
Pack similar items together. Do not pack a delicate china figurine in the same carton with cast-iron frying pans, for example.
Use the right boxes and sizes.
Mark each box and put a unique mark on the cartons you want to unpack first at your destination.
Empty your drawers to avoid damages and unnecessary losses.
Empty your refrigerator and freezer.
Family photographs, videos, slides, and negatives should be packed in separate cartons rather than combined with other household items.
Pack all your valuables such as (jewelry, electronics, money, documents, etc.)

Clocks, small radios, and other small appliances should be wrapped individually and packed in a carton cushioned with crushed paper.
Steam irons should be emptied of all water, wrapped, and placed in the cushioned bottom of a box.
Remove all batteries from small appliances before packing.
Prepare the lawnmower by draining gasoline before the day of loading.
Avoid mixing items from different rooms in the same box. It will make your packing quicker and your unpacking a lot easier, too.
Never wrap oil paintings in regular paper; it will stick.
Do not water your plants a week before your moving date.
