When planning for your move, the one thing you don’t have to worry about is Moishe’s service.
Packing Your Belongings for the Trip Ahead
Not everyone can scavenge boxes and crates all around town to recycle for their move. The very thought of having to put effort in going out of your way to lug supplies back on top of a busy work schedule is not most people’s idea of fun.
Pack an Essentials Box
Once you have moved all personal belongings into your new home and all the movers are gone, there is no way you’ll finish unpacking that same night–you will probably only be craving your bed.
To avoid unpacking all of your boxes in search of your toothbrush, pack an essentials box.
The essentials box should include your toothbrush, pajamas, toilet paper, clean bedsheets, shampoo, and any other items you think you will need the first night in your new home.
Then, you will be able to get a good night’s sleep and use your extra energy to unpack the following day
How to Ensure You Are Packing Mostly Efficiently (Tips)
Let’s be honest with ourselves for a second and admit that nobody likes packing. It is difficult to start, time consuming, and never seems to end.
So, we have assembled some of the best long-distance moving tips to make your next move a simple process.
Following these tips may save you time, money, and the environment, so make sure to read them all and incorporate them into your next move.
Do Not Forget About Nooks
Your most valued possessions need extra time and attention.
To pack these items, get lots of bubble wrap, masking tape, coats, towels, clothes, boxes, and styrofoam peanuts.
Make sure every nook and cranny of your box or item is covered in layers of protection, and then give it a shake. If the item jiggles in the box at all, your item is not safe and will be susceptible to damage
One Year Rule
By now, you may have noticed the phenomenon that every time you are getting ready to move, you find a new or lost item.
If you have not worn or used an item in the past year, consider throwing it out. If you have not worn it for that long, the odds of you wearing it at all are very slim.
Keep in mind the more items you’ve accumulated the more money you will spend on the move.
Therefore, a purge of neglected items will make your move faster, easier, and cheaper.
Hold On To Personal Items
Even if you feel safe with your moving crew (as you should with Moishe’s), your most important items are best kept safe with you.
Here at Moishe’s, we have been providing the most trusted and convenient storage in New York City for over 30 years.
These items include:
- Computers
- Jewelry
- Documentation (tax statement, passports, birth certificates, social security cards, medical records, diplomas)
- Sentimental items (child’s favorite toys, photo albums, wedding memorabilia)
- Cellphones
- Cash
Having these items with you at all times will give you peace of mind and ensure that these important, often irreplaceable items are not lost.
Related Questions
Do moving companies offer packing services?
Yes, many moving companies offer packing services, and these can range from full-service packing to help with just a few specific items. Full packing typically includes boxing up everything in your home, while partial packing might focus on delicate, bulky, or high-value items like dishes, electronics, or artwork. This service can save you time, reduce stress, and ensure your belongings are packed using proper materials and techniques.
At Moishe’s Moving, we offer both full and partial packing options. Our trained team uses high-quality boxes, padding, and wrap to protect your items from the moment we arrive until everything is safely delivered. Whether you need help with your whole apartment or just a few breakables, we’re here to make it easier.
Will movers disassemble and reassemble my furniture?
Most professional movers will disassemble furniture for safer transport and reassemble it at your new location. This typically includes items like bed frames, tables, shelving units, and large dressers that can’t be moved in one piece. It’s a good idea to confirm what’s included and whether any special tools or extra fees apply.
At Moishe’s Moving, our crew comes fully equipped to handle furniture disassembly and reassembly. We take care to label parts and hardware so everything goes back together correctly, exactly where you want it in your new home. Not all movers handle this step well. Rushed work or missing screws can lead to damage or frustration, so it is worth asking how carefully the company manages the process before you book.
Can movers help with unpacking at my new home?
Yes, some moving companies offer unpacking services as part of their full-service options. This can include unboxing items, placing them on surfaces, removing packing materials, and even organizing specific rooms upon request. It’s especially helpful if you're short on time or want to settle in quickly without the chaos of stacked boxes.
At Moishe’s Moving, our unpacking service is flexible. We can help with basic unboxing or provide a more hands-on approach depending on your needs. Our goal is to make your arrival feel calm and manageable, not overwhelming.
