These are great tips! As someone who has moved 15 times lol, I would also add that when packing dishes and heavy platters, place them in the box vertically, not lying down flat. If you lay them down flat on each other you risk the ones on the bottom breaking from the weight of the others on top of them. All it takes is the truck going over one good sized bump in the road and you'll end up with more than a few cracked dishes.

I’m moving into a house from an apartment I’m so exited

Good hacks! As someone who has moved dozens of times myself, the first thing I do before a move is create a "Moving Kit" I take a plastic tote with a handle that I normally store craft supplies in and put all the supplies in it we will need during the moving process: tape, markers, box cutters, work gloves, a multitool, first aid kit, wet wipes, ziploc bags. For long distance moves, I've learned to include an extra phone charger, prescription medicines, granola bars, licenses and shot records for our pets. When we take apart furniture, all the parts go in the moving box labeled in their own zip bags.

Better hack for string to tape- just fold under at the tip creating a flap to grap and peel

If your things will be in storage for awhile, try to keep plastic off and out of your belongings, it holds in moisture..also dont pack w. newspaper for long term storage..its a whole new ball park if your storing your belongings. love this video, thanks for the help.

I always used to get boxes from supermarkets when I was younger but now it's like getting blood from a stone! They all just say they get taken away 🙁

The trash bags for clothes one is the BEST. I've done it to go from dorm, to apartment, to back home and it saves SO much time to pack and unpack!

I roll my clothes and put them in a plastic bin. I can fit about 30 shirts/blouses in a bin and it takes up a LOT LESS space than a large wardrobe box full of clothes on hangers.

These are great tips. I've moved a lot over the years too and my No. 1 tip, if you're moving right into your new place, is get your bed set up and made, then you can fall into it after a long, hard day of moving. My No. 2 tip, is put your kitchen essentials in one box, i.e., kettle, coffee maker, tea and coffee, couple of mugs and cutlery and don't forget your milk, cream, sugar if you use them. Hope your move goes smoothly Becky.

We’re moving into our first house and I’m so nervous! I’m mainly overthinking packing, so content like this is super helpful!

Omg the string under the packing tape is genius. Thank you!

Honestly, who peels the tape off of boxes? It literally takes 1 second to just use a box cutter/knife. If for whatever reason there isn't one available, you could even use a key, or the corner of a credit card/license/whatever.

Just pull up slightly on one of the box flaps, enough to take the slack out of the tape, and then just pierce the tape wherever it is securing the flap you're holding by puncturing the middle of the seam. Within one or two tries, you should easily be able to open most boxes simply by strategically puncturing the tape in 3 spots, or even just 2 with luck or by practice.

This is by far the easiest, lowtech method to open a box as you can literally use practically anything you have handy to poke a hole in the tape. (Note: this trick only works if the boxes is sealed with packaging tape; if the box is sealed with duct tape, you won't be able to break the tape clean just by puncturing it, so you would need something sharp to cut through it. However, it's not likely to come to that, because duct tape is not the ideal tape for cardboard boxes since it loses its adherence rather easily. It's very probable that the tape will peel off on its own, so you really don't need to worry about cutting it anyway.)

We just bought a house I'm so excited and I need to start packing I'm so happy!

[TalkBeckyTalk]

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE MOVING! What videos should I film in the new place? x

[rosalind]

Good tips, love the bin bags over hangers! However, plastic bags are so hard to find in my country and also no to store boxes and the tops are almost always cut off.Get boxes from someone who knows someone who just moved house. Go on Facebook or wherever and ask.

I have been in packaging field for last 5 years...and recently i just shifted my house to near by area and used good grade boxes and tape for maximum security of my house holds... but I was quite surprised with the quality of this particular tape and was very strong compared to normal tapes we find around. If you want to try, Checkout "MS98" tapes in amazon

[NaidelPro]

that garbage bags on clothes was god level genious👍 #iapprove

[cretnotonic]

Just fold the end of the tape on itself so it's like a pull tab. Just like when it's on the roll. You'll never lose the end of the roll again.
