Moving may be the world's biggest headache right? Nope! Utilize these helpful packing guidelines from professional Westwood movers, and you can enjoy a stress free move.

Number 1: Supplies. You can't perform a task without the correct tools. For a move, those methods are boxes, and plenty of them. While a store will be able to sell you other materials, tape, labels, and more, it's usually best to find boxes from any nearby grocery or liquor store. Trust us, they throw aside more boxes every day than you could use in a handful of moves. They are going to be only too happy to let you take them off their hands, provided that you ask politely. Don't forget to acquire a variety of sizes, as that leads into our following tip...

Number 2: Use the right box. But what makes a box the right box? How do I understand what the right box is? Using the right box is easy, and this simple rule will assist you to remember: Don't pack what you can't carry. Straightforward, right? But it's easy to forget that because you can fit a full bookshelf into some sort of box, doesn't mean you must. There's no point in injuring yourself attempting to carry a box that should have been split between two or eveb three different cardboard boxes. Assuming you're not looking to pack up the night prior to your move, you should have plenty of time. It's better to split the load into multiple trips than hurting your back trying to be to lug a box that is way too heavy to be practical. Speaking of each of the boxes..

Number 3: Label your cardboard boxes! If you've used the advice up until now, you'll have dozens and dozens of small boxes and looking at their exterior, they all look the same. The last thing you want to do is to be digging through twenty cardboard boxes, looking for the toothbrush. Instead, label each box neatly, so you can quickly and correctly unpack with no confusion, when time finally comes. Having smaller boxes will make labeling easier, as well as being able to sort the boxes.

Number 4: Get help. Moving is really a huge job, and even a tiny apartment has way too much stuff to move alone. Instead, enlist your buddies, or hire specialized movers that can help. Trust us, the simplest way to take the stress away from moving is to delegate the hard work to other people. Kick back, unwind, and watch as the Westwood movers get the job done.
