Relocating from one house or office to another is always dizzying and tiring at the same time. In most cases, the start of a new voyage is attended by the somewhat gloomy and tiring process of having to pack all your belongings and transfer them safely to the new location.
We, at Om Sai Packers and Movers, know the difficulties which come with moving, and that is why we have gathered the list of top killer tips to make the packing and moving process as easygoing as possible.
1. Start Early
Laziness is the biggest foe when it comes to moving. It is advisable to start packing your items in advance, specifically starting several weeks before your moving date.
Start with the belongings that are not necessary to be used regularly and then go for packing the daily use items when the date of relocation is near.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Likely, moving is the perfect time to let go of the things that you truly do not need to be surrounded by for the next few years of your life. Make a distinction between what you are willing to keep and what you will be donating, selling or throwing away. This way you will be packing less but you pack smartly by packing in this manner, Packing will be easier when you get to your new place.
3. Create a Packing Strategy
Stamp pack systematically so that items can be easily found when needed thereby avoiding the cramming syndrome. Boxes should also be well labelled, in terms of the items that are in the box and the room that the box belongs to. Subgroup items that require the same destination and you may need to come up with a list of all the items in each box to facilitate easy unpacking.
4. Use Quality Packing Supplies
Ensure you get the right packing material including strong moving boxes, bubbles, packing tape and markers. For fragile goods, each should be covered appropriately and the packing materials should guarantee that the goods do not break easily.

5. Pack Room by Room
It is preferable to stay organized and complete one room at a time rather than trying to do several at one number. It also enables one to arrange themselves and minimize the rate at which things get lost out of carelessness. According to the packing plan, the items that are needed for the last moments before the move should be packed last.
6. Label Everything
Be sure to properly mark down every box with the items that are inside and the room that they are supposed to be in. This means it would be easier if the colour of the labels or marker you use corresponds to the room such that once you are unpacking, you just know where each belongs. This small action will be worth it when you arrive at your new home and you have all the time to sort out things.
