Keep In Mind The Extra Packing Tape

Just because you've completed loading your items doesn't mean you won't need spare packing tape. It's not unusual for movers to ask you to tape over one of your boxes because it wasn't properly packed. These are telltale signs of a relocation company that cares about your belongings. Something to remember: if you don't have any additional packing tape left over on the day you move, your relocation company may charge more for a roll than a convenience store. It's like buying an instant camera at a national park. Be sure to contact your movers about any extra costs before you move.

Cleaning Appliances

Unfortunately, moving to a new home also means tidying up your old one. It's a good idea to make a list of all of the different items that need your attention, like removing the grease from the stove and oven, draining your dishwasher, and disconnecting the washing machine. Be aware that you're responsible for making sure your major appliances are disconnected. Your moving company won't do it for you due to insurance and safety reasons, so be sure to have your fridge, dishwasher, and any other appliance you may have readied for loading before beginning to move.

Using Newspaper for moving

If your are using newspaper to pack and cover your stuff, make sure it is an item that won't get damaged by ink stains. You could take steps to make sure that your things won't get tainted by packing your belongings separately with a different wrap before stuffing the newspaper inside.
