1. DON’T pack ALONE

Having someone help you will make things easier to not get to attached to your belongings that you wish to store in another way: A third party won’t linger over sentimental items and consider what stays and what goes.

2. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL MOVER

Not only does a mover know the most effective ways to pack and carry heavy items. You also don’t have to stress about the unpacking when getting to your storage unit.

3. CREATE ORDER TO WHEN PACKING

Pack items you won’t need first and send them to a charity or dispose of it. Don’t store unnecessary goods that you won’t use again.

4. GET THE RIGHT SUPPLIES

Bubble wrap can come in handy to protect fragile items and keep your belongings from shifting within boxes. Mothballs are optional but not necessary.
