Packing Room by Room

When packing for a local move, Dose Moving & Storage recommends tackling one room at a time. This approach lets you focus your efforts and ensures everything gets properly wrapped, labeled, and loaded.

By packing room by room, you can create a thorough inventory of each room, so you won't leave anything behind or forget anything.

Start by gathering your packing supplies and sorting items into categories like 'keep,' 'donate,' and 'discard.' Then, pack items in a logical order, starting with the most important ones and moving on to the crucial ones.

This approach helps you stay organized, reduces stress, and saves you time in the long run.

By following this strategy, you'll be able to efficiently manage your belongings and ensure a smooth transfer to your new home.

Dose Moving & Storage suggests packing room by room to make your move as seamless as possible.

 

Labeling Furniture Fragile

When moving fragile furniture pieces, like glass-topped tables or antique mirrors, it's crucial to take extra precautions to ensure their safe transportation. At Dose Moving & Storage, we know that proper labeling is key to guaranteeing their safety. That's why we recommend labeling these items clearly with a Fragile Symbol.

Place the symbol prominently on the item, ideally on multiple sides, so our movers can't miss it. This alerts them to exercise caution and handle the item with care.

The label's placement is vital - it should be easily visible to avoid accidental damage. A clear and bold label will prevent mistakes and ensure your fragile furniture arrives at its new destination in pristine condition.

 

 

Color-Code Moving Boxes

A successful move involves more than just labeling fragile furniture - it's also about organizing and categorizing your moving boxes. At Dose Moving & Storage, we recommend using a color-coding system to make your move as smooth as possible. This system lets you categorize boxes by room, priority, or category, so you can unpack the essentials first and easily find what you need.

Here's how it works: assign a specific color to each room or category, and then use matching colored labels or stickers on the boxes. This visual system makes unpacking a breeze, reducing stress and confusion.
