The heavier the item, the smaller the box it should
occupy. A good
rule of thumb is if you can't lift the carton easily, it's too heavy.
Label your boxes, especially the one containing sheets and towels,
so you can find everything you need the first night in your new
home.
Teach your children your new address. Let them practice writing
it on
packed cartons. You can lighten your load and reduce any storage
space
you need to rent by hosting a garage or yard sale.
Fill two "OPEN ME FIRST" cartons containing snacks,
instant coffee or
tea bags, soap, toilet paper, toothpaste and brushes, medicine
and
toiletry items (make sure caps are tightly secured), flashlight,
screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups and utensils,
a
pan or two, paper towels, and any other items your family can't
do
without. Ask your van foreman to load one of these boxes, so that
it will be unloaded at your new home first. Why the second box?
In
case the movers are delayed getting to your house on the day of
the
move.
Keep your pets out of packing boxes and away from all the activity
on
moving day.
Let all your electrical gadgets return to room temperature before
plugging them in.
Since you may need to call old neighbors or businesses from your
new
home, pack your phone book.
Work hand in hand with your mover
Give the mover's foreman your reach numbers and email addresses
so
you can stay in contact.
Read the inventory form carefully, and ask the mover to explain
anything you don't understand. Make a note of your shipment's
registration number, and keep your Bill of Lading handy.
If you're relocating long distance, be aware that your property
might
share a truck with that of several other households. For this
reason,
your mover might have to warehouse your furniture and belongings
for
several days. Therefore, ask your mover whether your goods will
remain
on the truck until delivered. If they have to be stored, ask whether
you can check the warehouse for security, organization and
cleanliness.
