Packing Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage
It is no secret that packing is one of the most important aspects of any move.
Decisions about packing should be done at a very early stage of your move planning as they will assist you in understanding just how much work you have to do, how you can break it into manageable daily tasks and whether or not you will need the assistance of professional movers.
Let’s take a look at how arranging your packing schedule can help you to experience a better relocation process.
Making Early Decisions about Packing
It is important to make the decisions regarding your packing strategy at an early stage, preferable even before you contact a relocation company.
Obviously, the first decision will be whether or not you will do the packing yourself.
Even if you decide to have professional movers do all of your packing for you, you will still need to decide if you would like them to pack everything on the moving day itself or if you want them to come a day or two before for a separate day of packing.
A separate day of packing is normally recommended for large relocation with many glass items, antiques and so on.
Creating Manageable Packing Tasks
If you are interested in doing your own packing, prepare a full list of all the packing that needs to be done.
The best way to do this is to go room by room and write down individual items of furniture that need to be packed and an estimated number of boxes.
According to the time you have remaining before your moving date, divide the packing activity into daily manageable tasks.
This method will help you to be better prepared for the moving date and avoid unnecessary last minute stress and anxiety.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
