Long-Distance Moving Do’s and Don’ts

Long-distance moving can be harder and riskier than a regular moving process. During a long-distance move, your belongings are more exposed to potential damage due to the relocation distance. Still, you should know some important tips to reduce the risk of your belongings during the process.

Packing and Moving Supplies

Stocking up with packing materials before starting the packing process is a great way to start. Having all the needed supplies with you will ensure a fast and efficient packing.

Break Down Big Items

If you are moving big items, deconstructing your belongings is the best way to maximize space in your moving vehicle or portable container. Ensure to know how to build it back and secure every piece of the item during the process. Also, label the parts to remember how to put them all together.

Wrap Your Items

Using wrapping paper or newspaper to wrap fragile items is a great way to protect and prevent any damage to your belongings during the moving process. Remember that during the moving process, there is a lot of movement. 

No Empty Space

Avoid leaving an empty room in the container or moving vehicle: the more room your stuff has to move around, the more damage can be caused to all your items. Reduce empty spaces by filling them with paper or clothes.

Sturdy Packing Box

Packing most of your things in a sturdy moving box provides a safer place than even a strong cardboard box. Also, these plastic bins are easier to stack and can help you maximize the space of your moving container.
