6-8 Weeks Before Moving

By breaking down your move preparations into small manageable chunks you can have a safe stress free move. The very first planning should start 6-8 weekis before your move. At that time you should make an inventory and decide which items you can get rid of or left behind and given away. All items such as old books, magazines, broken items, old toys can be left behind. If you decide to dispose of items that you don't need you should either donate them to a charity or consider having a garage sale. Contact a local charity or pick a date at least two weeks before moving date for the garage sale. Advertise the garage sale locally. Team up with your neighbors who want to sell some of their old belongings, and plan a large neighborhood "sale".

We can supply any moving materials you may need at a fair price -delivered to your door. All boxes that you purchase from a self storage or a moving supply company are specially designed for the moving industry to prevent any damages to your belongings. Getting boxes from other sources may create some difficulties when packed in our trucks or storage facility. These boxes may be unusual sizes and they may not be strong enough to prevent damage to items packed inside.
