How packing day works

A closet or bathroom for valuables, documents, and things you need that night.
Pack room by room
One room finished before the next, so your home stays usable.
Label everything
Each box marked with room and contents, plus "open first" boxes.
Load in order
On moving day, boxes are loaded by room so they come off in the right place.
Unpack and set up
If added, we unpack into the right rooms and clear away the empty boxes.
Before the packers arrive
A little prep keeps packing fast and makes sure nothing important gets boxed by mistake.

- Pack a first-night bagClothes, chargers, toiletries, and anything you need before unpacking.
- Decide what isn't movingDonate or toss it first so you don't pay to pack it.
- Run the dishwasher and laundryClean, dry items pack faster and arrive fresh.
- Use up or donate foodOpen and perishable food can't be packed.
