I think a good piece of advice is to make sure that you’re packing heavy things like books, tools, etc. in small boxes (as small as they can fit) and light things like blankets, pillows, etc. in large boxes. its tempting to throw all of your books in a big box so they’re all together but you probably wont be able to lift it on your own

That's the best. Tie the hangers together with the ties. You can also use a belt through the inside of the hanger. The end of the belt makes a great handle.

Moving hack from someone who has worked with pro movers. If you are loading a moving truck, line the back wall with the boxes stacked high. Once all boxes are in you can put mattresses/box springs in front to hold them back there and strap that all down against back wall. Then you start lego-ing furniture. You don't want room for things to wiggle or shift during the drive. You don't want a bunch of loose stuff up top. Only things that will stay relatively still. For your mirrors, art, glass, breakable things wait till the end and on the wall near the front you'll want to have a dresser or some solid place to set them. Put down towels/blankets for them to sit on as well. Then between each piece of glass/art ect put another towel or blanket. Padding between each one. Finally strap the whole padded mass against the wall. Another thing to load last is chairs. They can be set on top of stuff at the end. Also be sure to utilitize spaces in your car. The easier it is to start pulling out the furniture then the beds and then the boxes will make the unloading much faster

For anyone reading the comments, Home Depot sells boxes for less than $1. I love the small size the most because they are easy to carry two of them, they have handles, and I find that things break less if you don’t put as much into large boxes.

The way I label my boxes: get FedEx pouches (they're free!), cut copy paper (8.5 x 11) in half, write your description and slide inside the pouch. The pouch can stay on the box, the paper can be recycled, and new paper with description reinserted for future use. You can also use colored copy paper for box/room assignment.

Great tips! I learnt a lot from this video and I have a little tip on my own. Instead of cardboard boxes, I have inexpensive, reusable, stackable plastic boxes. They are easier to carry because of their built-in handles and there are even some with wheels for the heavier objects. Once the moving part is over, they can be used as dust- and water resistant storage containers and the clear ones allow to see what's inside without needing to go through all of them.

I’ve actually used the trash bag jack before when moving clothes and it was perfect! It might add a little extra time but I actually used the other end of the trash bag so that I could still use the bags later on! The process was basically the same, but instead I started on the bed to shove the clothes in and then hung them up to tie the bag elastic around the hangers

I give every box a number and make a list with all the box numbers, for each box number I write what important or kinds of things are in the box so I can target the box I need with lightning speed. It also helps to keep the boxes in numerical order especially if they're going into storage. Add your sticky notes tip to this and you can't go wrong!!

Amazon sells large rectangular duffle bags made of IKEA bag blue material. I moved all my soft goods in those. Zip tied the zippers and straps, just in case. Also, I use Bankers Boxes for heavy and delicate items. They are stronger than brown boxes, and stack easily, and I break them down flat and store in giant zip lock storage bags for my next move.

For boxes, at least in Ontario, Canada, a cheap way to get boxes is collect them from work, LCBO (liquor store), grocery stores, etc. I’ve looked them all up too. Canadian Tire has the cheapest boxes ($1.79, $2.79 and $3.79 for small, med and large). Large is massive and a bit useless. Med is nice cuz there’s only so much you can fit in small LCBO boxes

For the bags over the clothes, I don't put a hole in the bag. I put the bag on in reverse and cinch the bag close around the hangers up top and use the draw string to tie around the handles. You can zip tie or band them together first and then just do one tie with the pull strings and do a bowtie so that you don't knot the strings. This way you can use the garbage bags when you are done and it's super fast to do.

The way I do my labels so I can reuse the box is by doing the same thing you did but writing on the outside of the tape with wet erase markers, or by taping down three sides of a page protector and inserting my label that way. Easy removal and it won't damage your box. Removing the wet erase markers can be kind of messy though.

DIY Vaccum seal! I found it to save so much space when I would take dirty laundry to wash at my moms house on holiday trips; to evenly distribute the clothes in heavy black trash bags( so they keep a uniformed shape to fit together best when packed) then twist the top of the bag around vaccum hose, turn on vaccum until all air is out. Remove the hose and pinch off by continuing to twist further, then seal quickly with 2 doubled tiny rubber bands that I had leftover from bracelet rubbetband making. Then I packed them in large hard covered suit cases with wheels. Do the same process for trip back home, just fold and roll the item/clothes before hand. This would work for all cloth things including pillows!!!

If all your clothes are sorted into types and hanging on the same kind of hanger, it really helps you get the trash bag on, from the bottom up, so they are reusable. I like your rubber band idea. Also, I bought clear plastic shoe bags from Amazon and sorted them by use.

I am currently packing for a big move- this video is so helpful! Did you try doing the bags the other way, like use the drawstrings at the top?

U-Haul has the least expensive boxes that we've found. Also, get boxes that are the same size. That makes stacking them up much easier than having 100 boxes that are different heights, etc. Also the U-Haul boxes have hand holds in the sides! Much easier to carry with hand holds.

I like the idea of putting valuable and breakables in the suitcase. I always wrap things with shirts and towels. And things so that I already knew and you can buy boxes at Walmart that are specifically for packing and moving which are not that expensive.

Moving boxes: You can actually find out when certain stores get their trucks and then go there later that night or the next day and they'll usually have a ton of boxes they'll give you for free. I work at Dollar Tree and people come get our boxes all the time! All we do is throw them away anyway. Plus then you can pick out the different sizes you want 🙂

Here's a tip: a lot of stores will give you boxes for FREE if you're not picky about it. You can ask them what days are their inventory days and they will tell you when to come back and get them free of charge! I always get boxes from Walmart but a lot of other stores do it as well

I like how you do the bagging of the clothes with the hangers, but me being the way I am, if probably double bag them and tie it at the top.

If you're storing your boxes, make sure you protect them. Wrap them in garbage bags or something so the moisture stays out of them.

Why make a hole at the bottom and then end up with so many wasted garbage bags. what’s the difference to jus go from the bottom then use the tie on the bags fastened on the top. Isn’t it the same thing

I go to Walgreens for empty boxes from deliveries as they are clean and small. I also actually take clean Amazon and other boxes from recycling bins on trash day. They often have tons of great pillow packing material. My favorite is a Disney box with mickey mouse ears. Those white boxes are super nice but too expensive and I don't want to have to store them. I'd leave the labels on them and just reuse next time.

Or you could put duct tape down first, then your packing tape label (leaving a border of duct tape), and when you want to remove it you can just remove the packing tape and the duct tape protects your box

Ha! I thought I invented the rubber band trick. Been using it for years now. What I typically do though, is that I roll the clothes around the tied together hangers, and put these rolls in a large thick garbage bag, that way you need fewer bags. Some moving companies also provide tall boxes with a clothing rail on top where you can hang these tied together clothes.

Here is my moving hack I moved 13 times in 17 years. 😁😁I use see through plastic bags over my clothes like this girl and I don’t use boxes any more because it’s expensive and you have too many boxes as a leftover after you move in . Label the bags like mums bedroom Like shoe room so when my husband picks it up he knows where to drop it . I do put plates into plastic bags so don’t need to label since you see through goes into the plastic bin container. I put ornaments into towels and into another this time laundry basket. We move ourselves we do it like a light . In n out shaking all about 😀😀 everything is in it’s new place within 2/ 3 days . 😀

This is a good video Sophia! I have done a lot of these and that first one will change your moving experience Soooo much! I started first using those suit bags but those are more costly and can't cover as many clothes as a cheaper garbage bag. I love the screws taped to the piece of furniture, that is a great idea. For me, I always have had the necessity box/bag and chargers and things like that need to be in there as well. Last bust not least the bed being done first is such great advice! You know you get tired. Take a break or a nap and feel that new place happiness! Amazing looking spot btw. Congrats on that 😉
