5 Easy Bonus Packing Tips

1. Have high-quality moving boxes

Go for high-quality, sturdy, and waterproof boxes. Liffey can supply moving boxes and labels. One of the best packing tips we can provide is to use recyclable and reusable boxes. See moving boxes and 10 moving supplies.

2. Hire movers with top-level NYC experience

Ensure your moving company has completed a satisfactory amount of moves. Minor details such as double parking and furniture manoeuvring via tight spaces should not be a challenge. See choosing an NYC moving company.

3. Choose an ideal move-out/move-in day

Select a day when other people are least likely to move. You might need to book the elevator. Request your building’s management schedule in advance. Liffey are available any time of the day. Elevator reservation rules cover freight windows.

4. Ensure you’ve packed all your items before the movers arrive

The biggest mistake people make is relying on movers to help them pack. Aside from the fact that there won’t be enough time, you know what items are the most important. Give yourself plenty of time to pack.

5. If possible, start moving delicate and sentimental stuff in advance

Jewellery, photo albums, and other collectables should be kept safe. Take care of that which is most important to you. Liffey will handle anything you wish but moving it yourself will put your mind at ease. Get a quote.
