Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Before you start packing, you will need to have different sizes of boxes, packing tape, wardrobe boxes, wrapping paper, tissue paper, zip lock bags, markers and scissors.
• Make sure to begin packing well ahead of the move
• Try to concentrate on one room at a time and label each box by room and item.
• Wrap all your fragile items in bubble wrap or tissue paper.
• Make sure that boxes are not too heavy.
• When furniture is too bulky or heavy to move in one piece, you will need to disassemble, and put all the bolts and nuts in a plastic bag and attach it to the furniture.
• Carpets and rugs should be rolled up and secured with tape.
• Don't forget to dispose of gasoline and oil from lawnmowers and other machinery.
• Don't pack flammable items.
• When disassembling your beds, use tape to bind the frames together.
• Clearly mark fragile items.
• Important documents, jewelry, money, artwork, and home videos should be packed separately and carried with you.
