MOVING PREPERATION TIPS
MOVING PREPERATION TIPS
Whether you’re transitioning your family home or relocating an entire office, these tips will help you stay organized, calm, and fully prepared.
For Residential Moves
🏡 Get Ready for Your Stress-Free Move!
Moving can be a big adventure — and S&L Moving and Logistics LLC is here to make it smooth, simple, and even a little fun! Follow these expert tips to get prepared and make moving day a breeze.
Declutter Like a Pro
Before packing, take a good look at your stuff. Keep what you love, donate what you don’t, and toss what’s broken or expired. Less stuff = a faster, easier move. Bonus: your new home starts fresh!
Stock Up on Supplies
Boxes, tape, bubble wrap — get them early! Strong, well-packed boxes keep your belongings safe, and you’ll feel super organized from the start.
Pack Smart, Room by Room
Take it one room at a time. Heavier items go on the bottom, lighter on top. Don’t overstuff — keeping boxes under 50 lbs makes moving them easier. And avoids box breaking.
Label Everything Clearly
Write what’s inside and where it goes. Movers can place boxes right in the correct room, and unpacking becomes a breeze.
Keep Your Essentials Handy
Pack a “Day-One” box with toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks, and anything else you’ll need immediately. Trust us — you’ll thank yourself later!
Appliances & Furniture Made Easy
Unplug, defrost, and secure loose parts in advance. Need help with big furniture? We can disassemble it for you and rebuild it at your new home! Beds, tables, and shelving — we handle it all with care.
Clear the Way for Movers
Make hallways, stairs, and doorways clutter-free. This keeps your move safe and fast.
Share Special Instructions
Got fragile or high-value items? Let us know! We’ll handle them with extra care, so everything arrives safely.
