Packing, packing. -Breathe! Easier said than done, right? For many people packing up their belongings before moving is an extremely stressful and time-consuming process.

Luckily for you, we’ve got some tips and tricks up our sleeves to make your move a little bit easier.

Moving Tips To Help You Get Ready For Your Packing Day:

  • The first thing you want to do before packing anything is: create a packing list. This list will guide you through each room of your home and what needs to be packed first, second, etc. 

  • Cut back on clutter as much as possible. Do yourself a favor and get rid of unnecessary items. This will make it easier for you and will save you time and effort.

  • Buy the proper packing supplies: packing tape, paper, box cutters, permanent markers, bags, moving boxes of different sizes, etc.  

  • Start packing in advance things you don’t need daily to speed up the process, leaving for the last moment the essentials.

  • Rent a truck with a loading ramp. 

 

Packing Hacks For The Big Day

 

  • Group similar items together and label the boxes accordingly to make it easier to find what you are looking for when unpacking. 

  • Remember to use the right size boxes, with heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top.

  • Don’t leave boxes loosely packed; try to fill them with clothing, towels, etc., to avoid damages.

  • Tape your moving boxes, wrapping around the top and bottom edges.

  • Put fragile items in small boxes first, then put them in a bigger box filled with towels.

  •  Use packing paper between dishes and boxes with cardboard dividers to help protect glasses.

  • Use bubble wrap to cover pictures and frames. 

  • Look for special crating for valuable paintings.

  • Double box your Plasma TV and wrap it in packing paper.

I needed someone to unload a Pod and I was referred to Legacy Transit Lines. They showed up on time and stayed until I was satisfied. I was so happy with their service that I hired them again to unload a truck. They do a great job, they are professional but friendly. I would not hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend them.

Mario and Tammy, the owners of Legacy, are outstanding people. I've had the privilege to get to know them and I can honestly tell you they are some of the hardest working people I know. They do everything with integrity and class. If you are looking to move and relocate, you need to call this business first and only!

I had a wonderful experience with all aspects of Legacy Transit. Tammy is amazing and so helpful in a stressful time. Was great to work with and very accommodating. The movers showed up and immediately prepped my place so nothing got damaged. Unloaded very quickly and was so awesome the whole time. They were friendly and chatted with me. They went out of there way to help arrange everything and put it in the right place. They even quickly put my bed together. Amazing experience and will definitely use them again when I move.

Truly a great moving in experience with these gentlemen. They treated our items like they were their own. They had to move really heavy boxes and awkward furniture up three flights of stairs! They took care not to scrape any walls or floors. They moved everything in very quickly. They were very friendly and kind. We are truly grateful for the care they took in helping us get settled in our new home. I highly recommend their services to anyone moving! Thank you!!

Okay, I have gone through over 10 moves in my life, and this was bay far the most professional one I’ve ever done. Mario was an amazing help through the entire process and responded to phone calls and texts immediately and promptly. He was understanding that my husband was deployed and I had to do a phone chain, and helped us move a vehicle also! I can’t express how happy I am with the experience I received and I will be recommending him to anyone I can!
