Moving can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're relocating to a new home, downsizing, or just need extra space, proper planning and organization are key. At SafeBox Self Storage, we understand how important it is to have a smooth and stress-free moving experience. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive checklist to help you stay on track!

 

1. Plan Ahead 

A well-thought-out plan can make all the difference. Start by:

  • Creating a moving timeline at least a month in advance.

  • Decluttering and deciding what to keep, donate, or store.

  • Researching storage options if you need extra space during or after your move.

 

2. Choose the Right Storage Solution

If you need temporary or long-term storage, consider these key factors:

  • Size Matters – Our 8ft and 20ft containers can store anything from a small apartment’s contents to an entire house.

  • Security First – Our storage units are waterproof, insulated, and monitored with 24/7 CCTV.

  • Easy Access – With drive-up storage, you can load and unload with ease—no long hallways or lifts!

 

3. Gather Packing Supplies

Stock up on:

  • Sturdy boxes in various sizes.

  • Bubble wrap & packing paper to protect fragile items.

  • Heavy-duty tape to secure boxes.

  • Labels & markers to keep everything organized.

 

4. Pack Smart

  • Pack room by room to stay organized.

  • Label boxes clearly with contents and the room they belong to.

  • Disassemble large furniture to save space.

  • Use suitcases for heavy items like books.

  • Store seasonal or rarely used items in a storage unit to free up space.

 

5. Arrange Transportation

  • Book a moving truck or hire professional movers in advance.

  • Use a dolly or hand truck to move heavy boxes safely.

  • Load heavier items first when packing a van.

 

6. Set Up Your New Space

  • Clean and inspect your new home before unpacking.

  • Unpack essentials first, like toiletries and kitchen basics.

  • Arrange furniture before unpacking smaller items.

  • Return to your storage unit whenever you need to retrieve stored items.
