My daughter is moving apartments in a couple of weeks. From her small studio to a nicer one bedroom. She has been there for several years (stability after moving places every 6 months during college.) We haven’t moved in 32 years and her moves from dorm to dorm to apartment were pretty easy (no furniture, limited kitchen stuff, etc.)
We will be hiring a moving company. Just looking for any tips and suggestions for moving and packing to make it easier.
The usual stuff doesn’t apply (clean out first, get rid of stuff) as she doesn’t actual have too much (all her “excess stuff” is still in my house). Also, the apartments are very close (less than a mile) and she will have access to the new place before the move (so she can bring those emergency things - like toilet paper - before the actual move.)
Yes or no to getting a garment box (I know I used them when I moved). I just read somewhere to pack the breakables with towels and linens (to protect them instead of using lots of bubble wrap).
