Before Getting Moving Boxes, Ask Yourself This!

Before You Buy Those

Moving Boxes, Ask Yourself

These 3 Questions 


Hey, Daymond here! Well, it's finally time for you to move. You bought your place, all the paperwork is done, and your time at your old place will soon expire. So it’s time to start packing!

Let’s go through some questions, to help you with the moving process.



1. Are all these things really necessary?

You’ve lived there for quite some time, in which you gathered all sorts of things. Some have emotional value, others are just reminders of times that have come to pass. So there’s no better time than now to start giving away your old things. Don’t be a hoarder and donate what’s not useful to you anymore!


2. Where does everything go?


You can start by grouping together the items you’ll be needing right away after you move, and the items that could be left in the storage for a while - like your bike or skis.



After you get these two piles in order - in your mind, at least, start by separating them for living areas: what’s for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and so on.


The next step is to put them in boxes on which you write where the box goes. If you don’t, you might end up with a big pile of boxes, not knowing what’s in them. What a mess!


You can even color code the really important ones and write FRAGILE on the boxes that contain such products.


3. Can you move by yourself, or do you need help?


If you move within the same city, and you own a car, in a few days you’d manage to move everything by yourself. Surely, you’d have to take a couple of trips back and forth. But hey, it’s your fault that you have so many stuff! :)


If it’s you plus a friend or family member, things will be twice as fun and fast.


On the other hand, if you’re moving in a different city, you’ll most probably have to rent a moving truck or hire a moving agency.

Just take your pick according to proximity, distance, and fees charged. With a simple Google search, you’ll get many search results of businesses that can move your furniture to your new home. You'll need get a quote from them online or over the phone, so get to finding one!



Make sure you do enough planning and get enough time to move, because, as you’ll see, you own more things than you believed. As you start realizing how many things you gathered over the years, your packing time, moving time, and moving costs will be impacted. So, the sooner you know how much things you have to move, the sooner you’ll be able to assess the time and money you need to finally move into your new home.

We know it’s difficult to move, but when you find your new place and finish with the moving process, it will all be worth it.


You can do it! Good luck!
