1. Pack Systematically: There’s no substitute for efficiency, and the most important DIY moving tips are the ones that help make your move a smooth one. Always pack one room at a time, and never leave packed boxes unlabeled. Start your packing about a month before you plan to move; this will give you plenty of time to have everything ready by moving day and separate the “must haves” from the “better off withouts!”
2. Reserve Your Truck Early: Truck rental companies are busy places. While you might be able to reserve your truck a week in advance, there’s nothing to lose by making your reservation 3 or 4 weeks prior to moving day! No matter when you make your reservation, always make sure to contact the rental company the day before you need the truck to make sure that everything is still in order.
3. Give Yourself Extra Time: Moving is a huge pain, and though we would all like to get it over with as quickly as possible, there’s plenty that can go wrong and make the move a little longer than planned. The farther away you are moving, the more extra time you’ll need. Figure out how long your move will ideally take, and add an extra day or two to the time you’ll be taking off. Even if everything goes off without a hitch, you’ll appreciate the extra time you’ll have to unpack and get to know your new surroundings.
