TIPS FROM THE PROS
TIP #1
Packing Tips – By far the best way to save time and money on your upcoming move is to get it packed. Dont wait until the last minute to start your packing, this will only add to your stress levels. Try packing 3-4 boxes per day in the weeks leading up to your move. Label the sides not the tops. Packing your belongings in same sized boxes or standard moving boxes can be a big $time$ saver. Remember, we have to load them neatly into a truck, so keeping the boxes standard can make a huge difference in the time that takes. Skinny Wimp will provide hanging wardrobes on move day, so dont worry about packing the closets. Start with the things you use the least, or the dreaded garage. China cabinets and dishes usually take the longest to pack. Dont worry about the clothes in your dressers either. We can move it with them inside. Just take out anything loose, spillable, or breakable from drawers. Make sure to pack heavy items like books into smaller boxes. If the boxes get too heavy they lose their structure, and that usually results in damage. So be sure to pack the right items in the right size boxes.
TIP #2
Moving boxes and smaller items can save you some time on move day, however not as much as you might think. The average 3 man team can move 100 boxes or more an hour.
