This is common and understandable, which is why the team here at The Mobile Attic has some tips to get you through it. Check them out below, then rely on us to provide you with a dependable moving container to make your move as seamless as possible.

Form A Plan & Keep An Inventory

First things first, map out what you what to pack and when. By starting early and packing up things you will not need until after the move, you can knock a few steps out of the way well ahead of time. For the things you use more frequently, wait until a day or two before your move to pack them up and store them closer to the front of the storage container, in case you need to access them sooner than you thought.

It is also a wise idea to keep an inventory and to label your boxes clearly, so you know what is in each one. Sort them room-by-room, so that you can simply drop the boxes in the appropriate area on moving day and unpack them all later. Try using different colored markers for each space to make the process even easier.

Keep Your Items Safer

Be sure to keep dishware, mirrors, knick knacks, and other breakable items appropriately wrapped, and mark the box so those moving it know to be extra careful. Wrap them up and pack them tightly to avoid damage, and put these heavier boxes on the bottom of your storage unit and near the back to keep them better protected. Your electronics and heavy furniture should be kept back there, too.

It is also a good idea to cover dressers, tables, and the like with blankets to avoid knicks and scratches, and to keep personal or sensitive documents on your person. Have any sentimental or expensive items that you need to transport? Keep these with you, too. That way, nothing will get lost, stolen, or damaged throughout the transit process.

Make Use Of Empty Space

Is your container filling up fast? If you are struggling to make room for everything, try stashing as much as you can inside of other items. Your washing machine, dresser drawers, refrigerator, and more can easily store things like blankets, curtains, tablecloths, and sheets. Bringing your trash cans? These can be stacked, then stuffed with hoes, rakes, shovels, and other outdoor equipment. A few strategic moves like these can take you far when it comes to saving space!
