Common mistakes to avoid while packing for relocation purpose

Although, it is always recommended to hire professional movers and packers like My

American Movers for relocating purposes, but there are some people who want to save

some money by packing their stuff themselves. If you happen to be one of those, who have

are packing for yourself, then here we have a list of common mistakes that you must avoid

while doing so.

Do not wait until the last minute: plan your packing at least 5 weeks before the day you will

be moving. You should make a list of all things that you would be needing and those which

you won’t. You can also donate the stuff that you do not require or put them up for a yard

sale and earn a bit of cash.

Do not use second hand boxes: you must avoid using boxes that have already survived one

move, as they might collapse because of the earlier wear and tear. My American Movers

suggest to make use of new, high-quality boxes that are available ina variety of shapes and

sizes in hardware stores or with professional movers like them. Also make sure that you

make use of good quality tissue paper, bubble wrap, packing tape, marking pens and other

things required for packing.

Fill the boxes upto the brim: since the contents half or partially filled boxes are likely to

collapse when another box is kept on it, you should make sure that you do not leave even a

little room in the box. If you find that there still is enough empty space in the box, you can

fill it up with paper.

Do not stack your dishware altogether: since most of the dishware are fragile and are more

likely to get damaged if not packed carefully. Try not to stack them altogether inside the

box. Just place them the way they are stacked in your cabinet. You should place a

cushioning material like crumpled paper. After that bubble wrap the plates and then place

them vertically. You should also stuff crumpled tissue paper inside glasses before bubble

wrapping them too.

Do not move empty suitcases: instead of packing the suitcases empty, stuff them with

delicate and precious stuff like your clothing and precious jewelry.
