4. First off LABELS : big white labels GAME CHANGERS!!!! Use 2 large white labels on the boxes : one label with the room it goes to when the movers go to your new house they'll know where it goes. Second label : write in point form everything within the box. ( so when you unpack you can get to what you need faster) https://www.amazon.com/MESS-Large-Labels-Storage-Bins/dp/B0B624W4J6/ref=sr_1_28_sspa?crid=2U24L14YPJW4G&keywords=moving+labels&qid=1670266655&sprefix=moving+la%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-28-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWFpGU0ZOSVZKOUpIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjI2OTkzM0tTVlBUQkQzSDNRNSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTA5ODczMklQR0g3MTNTRThFSSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

5 .Pack a suitcase : Pretend you're going on vacation. Pack all your toiletries , A week's worth of clothes, so you're not scrambling through boxes for essentials, upon moving in. 6. use styrofoam plates between glass dishes to avoid breaking and easy put away Styrofoam cups aswell for glasses Then roll the cups with dish towels. 7. roll & tape rugs with duct tape ( again label for which room it belongs to) 8. pack everything in boxes if you can, loose items slow down the process and make the move disorganized. large bulky items. (add labels to the pieces for the movers. ) 9. pack a mop bucket with cleaning supplies ( ready for use at the house)
