Checklist Items for Your Move using Storage Units (or a New Home)

Moving boxes, and lots of them. Large, medium and small boxes, as well as boxes of various shapes to accommodate the various dimensions of your belongings.

You need packing peanuts and bubble wrap, to pack with your items to keep them safe. 

You will need lots of packing tape to securely close your materials in the box, and markers to label your boxes.

As you prepare your items for their move to either a new home or a storage unit, there are materials you can purchase that will make the move much easier. These include:

• Plastic furniture covers and mattress bags to help keep away dust. 

• Furniture gliders or sliders to move larger pieces with ease.

• Glass and dish packers to help keep fragile kitchen items in their places.

• Bubble wrap to protect your breakables.

• Moving blankets to protect your furniture.

Once all items are safe, secure, and ready for their journey to a new world, all that is left to consider is transportation and labor.

Dependent on what you are moving, you may need to rent a moving truck. 

You may choose to load this truck yourself or acquire a few movers to help you out. These people could be friends, family, or paid labor helpers. 

Once you have your team assembled, and supplies gathered, all that’s left is to pack and move.
