What to Pack First (and Last) When Moving | Macomb Movers
What should I pack first when moving?
Start with seasonal items, holiday decorations, rarely used kitchen appliances, books, wall décor, and items stored in your basement, attic, or garage.
What should I pack last before moving day?
Pack daily essentials last, including clothing, toiletries, medications, chargers, important documents, and basic kitchen supplies.
What should go in a moving day essentials box?
Your essentials box should include toiletries, medications, chargers, important documents, snacks, water, paper towels, cleaning supplies, and a change of clothes.
How far in advance should I start packing for a move?
Most homeowners should begin packing 4-6 weeks before moving day to avoid last-minute stress and allow enough time for organization.
Should I move valuables myself?
Yes. Jewelry, family heirlooms, financial documents, passports, and sentimental items should remain with you during the move rather than being packed on the moving truck.
