Tip Of The Day
Label Your Boxes
Knowing where your boxes are going to end up in your new home is incredibly important. In order to stay organized and make the unpacking process more efficient, it is crucial that you label your boxes. This labeling can be done in a variety of ways, including writing the name of the room on the box (e.g. kitchen, living room, etc.) or using different colored tape to mark your boxes for each room. Whatever your desired method, this labeling will help your unload and unpack go much more smoothly.
Don’t Try to Be a Hero
When moving, it can sometimes be tempting to attempt to pick up extremely heavy items by yourself. However, this can often lead to broken items and/or serious injury (both to your body and your pride). Always err on the side of safety, whether that means using a dolly or asking another person for help. After all is said and done, you will be incredibly grateful that you did!

Don’t Break a Leg!
When loading up and packing your moving truck, it is normal (and usually wise) to stack boxes and other items on top of tables or other flat-topped pieces of furniture. However, if these legs are long and skinny, too much weight on top of the furniture can cause the legs to snap. To avoid this, be sure to test the durability/strength of your furniture’s legs prior to your move; this will allow you to have a better plan on moving day for how to efficiently and safely pack your truck.
