3 Simple Tips To Easy Packing & Moving
1. BOX HANDLES
Lifting boxes when moving is a hassle - it's hard to get a good grip on the box and then your back starts to hurt - it sucks. Take a box cutter and cut an upside down triangle hole on each side of the box where your hands can go through to grip the box easily - problem solved.

2. COLOR COORDINATING BOXES

Boxes will inevitably pile up during the moving process so trying to figure out which box is what can get confusing. Color coordinate your boxes when packing - this will make it really easy to identify your items inside a box. For example, red tape can be for fragile items.

We know how much you still want to watch your favorite sports teams play, so it's important you pack your flat screen TV properly. To keep your TV safe from damage, wrap it with bubble wrap first, and then wrap the TV up with a duvet and/or blankets. Some people just use Styrofoam to cover the TV (that works too).

Moving doesn't have to suck if you do it efficiently. Hiring a vetted moving company to do all the heavy lifting and packing smart can make your moving process easy. Make a checklist of the items you find most important first and pack them initially. Remember, taking your time will save you much more time and energy long term so be disciplined.
