1. Start Packing Early & Stay Organized
The earlier you start packing, the less stressful moving day will be. A few simple strategies can make all the difference:
📝 Label Everything: Clearly mark boxes with their contents and the room they belong in.
📦 Use Sturdy Boxes: Avoid flimsy containers that could collapse during transport.
🔄 Pack by Priority: Keep essential items easily accessible and store away seasonal or less-used belongings first.
Pro Tip: Renting a storage unit ahead of time lets you pack gradually and move items out of the way as you go!
2. Take Advantage of a Storage Unit for a Smoother Move
Not everything has to be moved in one day. A storage unit at Tellus Self Storage—Oak Grove gives you extra time and space to transition comfortably.
