15 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Start Packing Boxes
Buy Quality Packing Boxes for your Fragile Belongings from Direct Moving Boxes
- Do I have all the right moving supplies? Running out of packing tape or moving boxes in the middle of the process can be distracting.
- Will I have a place for this particular item in my new home?
- Will it fit? Large pieces may look out of place if you’re downsizing or if the rooms themselves are small.
- Does it serve any practical purpose?
- If not, do I love it enough to take it along anyway?
- Will it cost less simply to buy a new one? (very important in the case of large or heavy pieces)
- Is there a chance that it breaks?
- If yes, what can I do to protect the item?
- How valuable is it? Collectibles or very expensive items should be insured and shipped separately.
- Will it survive the trip? Plants will probably not make it on a standard shipping/moving truck.
- Do I have more than one of this item?
- If yes, do you need more than one?
- Is it smart to take it? If you’re moving to Hawaii, you probably don’t need three wardrobe moving boxes of winter clothes anymore.
- Can you leave it behind? Will it break your heart to do so? If not, you may be better off giving it away to charity or sharing it with a family member or friend.
- Can I make things play double-duty? Like using your blankets to wrap furniture or fragile items.
