How to Pack for a Long Distance Move
A long distance move into or out of Denver, CO, or any other city for that matter takes more planning and preparation than a local move. By getting started early on organizing your belongings and planning which items you will need access to, though, you can find that moving long distance does not have to be a stressful experience. Here are some tips on packing for a long distance move:
- Get rid of any items you no longer need or use. Have a garage sale, or donate these items to charity. The fewer belongings you have, the easier it will be to pack. A good rule to follow is that anything you haven’t worn or used in the past year you likely no longer need.
- Keep important documents accessible and transport them yourself. You do not want to be hunting down items such as passports and social security cards upon arriving at your destination.
- Keep in mind what the weather will be like at the location to which you are moving. For instance, if you are moving to the Denver area in the winter from a warm climate, then have coats and sweaters easily available upon your arrival.
- Use extra padding in boxes and on furniture. The longer the distance your belongings are traveling in a moving truck, the more likely it is that they could shift around on the trip.
