How My Being OC Helped Our Move

Packing Tips

Packing Tips

I am extremely OC (Obsessive compulsive). I want everything in order, detailed, and I don’t even want my toys moved. I know at what angle I left them and I will notice the slightest change if somebody moved them. And I don’t like people touching the windows of my car, I hate those stubborn hand prints.

I know… it’s pretty bad and some of my friends think that I’m sick or something, and I know that I get in their nerves one way or another, but what can I do? That’s me.

Anyway, I’m not supposed to talk about my bad habits here so I’ll move on. We recently moved to a beautiful house, one that I had built in great detail, and I must say that my being OC was the key to our successful move. I read tons of moving and packing tips and being the good (OC) person that I am, I made them like a bible and followed all the intelligent advices to the letter.

The hardest thing to do, at least for me, when getting ready to move is packing. Just looking at everything that needs to be packed will make you cry. But it has to be done so here’s a very good thing to do. Before touching anything, draw up a plan on how you’ll go about packing. Decide on which items you’ll pack first and make a checklist. Get rid of items that you don’t use as they’ll just use up precious space. Once you have a plan, start packing.

It is also wise to label the boxes. Make the labels big and colorful if you can. What I did is color code all the boxes so I can easily distinguish which goes where. The kitchen boxes were marked green, bedroom boxes were marked red, blue, and yellow since there are 3 of us in the family, living room boxes were marked orange, and so on… I know you get what I mean. This made organizing a breeze when we arrived at the new house.

I’m not saying that you become obsessive compulsive but being organized and detail oriented sure helps when moving. You can read all packing tips and tricks that you find but they’ll be useless if you don’t have the discipline to implement them. So if you’re planning on moving, take the packing tips that you just read to heart and start implementing them. It made me love moving. I think I wanna move again. Yeah, I’ll probably move so I can pack again. :)

Tips in Packing Wardrobe Moving Boxes

wardrobe moving boxes

My two thumbs up to whoever invented wardrobe moving boxes. Packing and moving is stressful enough but the thought of having to unpack wrinkled clothes is even more stressful. Imagine having to iron your entire wardrobe, it will take you days before you can arrange everything in your closet. That is what wardrobe moving boxes is saving us from, days and days of ironing after a successful move.

There are different sizes of wardrobe moving boxes but I recommend purchasing the 24X24X40 one since it’s a little bit bigger than most conventional boxes. You’ll be able to fit more clothes into it thus giving you less things to worry about after you move.

Here are a few tips when packing your wardrobe.

First you’ll have to determine which clothes you want to take with you. For sure you’ll have clothes in your closet that haven’t seen the light of day for about a year or two. If you still plan to use them then pack them up, but if not it is better to either sell them at a garage sale or donate them to charity.

Once you’ve identified the clothes that you want to take with you, it is time to determine the number of wardrobe moving boxes you’ll need. Depending on what type of clothes you’ll hang, you can probably fit 15 or more clothes in one wardrobe moving box. Do not over stuff the box since it will cause wrinkles and it will beat the purpose of the box.

Wardrobe moving boxes are received flat and unassembled so you’ll have to work a little and assemble it. Make sure to tape the bottom of the box and fix the metal bar securely in place. Don’t worry there will be instructions on how to assemble the box . And as an added protection against moisture, tape off the outer edges of the wardrobe box.

A lot of people don’t know what to do with their boxes after a move, that shouldn’t be a problem since you can always give it away or continue to use them as storage boxes in your garage or basement; just make sure to reinforce the box by putting tape around it.

How Many Moving Boxes Do I Need?

moving boxes, moving tips, wardrobe boxes | No Comments

moving boxesHaving enough moving boxes is important for a move to become successful; one trick is to buy more boxes than you think you need since most of the time you’d really need more than you think. And it is better to end up having extra boxes than running out of them, you can always sell extra boxes at Ebay or give it away at Craigslist. Bottom line is, the more boxes the better.

Be realistic though and estimate your needs intelligently. If you’re moving from a 1 bedroom flat, 20 moving boxes would be too much unless you’re planning to pack the flat itself.

One of the good things to do is to check out moving kits from online stores who specialize in selling moving boxes, they have a suggested number of boxes (in different sizes) needed for moving depending on the number of rooms in your house.  Here are some sample moving kits that you will find online.

1 Room Moving Kit

10 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
5 large boxes (20×20x15)
55 yards of moving tape
40′ Bubble wrap
1 Box Marker

2 Room Moving Kit

20 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
10 Large Boxes (20×20x15)
110 Yards of moving tape
80′ Bubble Wrap
2 Box Markers

3 Room Moving Kit

30 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
15 Large Boxes (20×20x15)
165 yards of moving tape
120′ Bubble Wrap
3 Box Marker

The list goes on. There are moving kits for up to 10 rooms and you can also purchase boxes separately if you think that you still need more. And notice that the kits also contain other essential moving supplies needed like a moving tape, bubble wrap, and marker. These are things that will help you organize your packing and make unpacking easy as well.

Another thing is to make sure that you use the boxes appropriately to keep your things from getting damaged and to avoid accidents. Ask for packing tips upon purchasing the moving boxes as these companies know the capacity and strength of their boxes and are generally experienced in moving as well.

Packing Dresses – How to Do it the Right Way

packing dresses

So now that you finally found your dream house and you’re getting ready to move in, it is time to face one of the most difficult parts of moving…PACKING. Though the thought of moving to your dream house is exciting, the process could still be very stressful if you are clueless of what to do. First time movers usually go through a stressful phase when planning the move.

One of the critical things to pack are dresses, when packing dresses you have to make sure that they don’t get ruined and wrinkles are minimized. Wrinkles are unavoidable; I have yet to see somebody who managed to pack a dress and moved it without getting wrinkled.

Get a large box and pack dresses together – Preferably a box where you only have to fold the dresses (women’s dresses) in half, this will minimize the wrinkles. The number of dresses you’d want to pack in one box depends on you. Of course the more you fit in one box, the more wrinkles the dresses will get.

Make sure dress shirts are pressed before packing – This goes for men’s dress shirts, before packing you’d want them to be neatly pressed and folded. Folds should be kept to a minimum to avoid creases. And when packing, use larger items like pants to line the bottom before putting in your dress shirts. And make sure not to over stuff your luggage as your clothes will press together and leave deep creases.

Put your dress box or luggage on top of the stack – You don’t want pressure over it since the box could crumple if stacked under heavier boxes. I know this is common sense but it is very easy to overlook this when moving so make sure that your box is properly labeled.

Dresses are expensive and are a little fragile so you’d want to take good care of them especially during a move. Again, wrinkles may be unavoidable but lessening them is definitely doable.

The Versatility of Wardrobe Boxes

When most people think of wardrobe boxes, they think of moving. No one wants to transport their nice clothing across country in a wrinkling heap of fabric. Instead of piling hanging clothing in the backseat of a car or draping them over furniture in the back of a moving van, a wardrobe box keeps clothing safe and neat while in transit. Folding some clothing such as dresses or suits just causes a headache of wrinkles. A wardrobe box allows the clothing to hang as it would in a closet and that eliminates unnecessary wrinkles. The boxes are also clearly marked with “this end up” arrows so there’s little risk of accidentally spilling the contents.

Wardrobe boxes aren’t just for moving. They’re an excellent way to store off-season clothing. The box will protect the clothing from dust whether the box is kept in the attic or a storage unit. Cedar squares can be hung from the bar between articles of clothing and that can help repel pests. Wardrobe boxes can store everything from bulky snowsuits and winter coats to light summer dresses. The wide cardboard surfaces are great for labeling. When it comes time to pull the clothing out of storage, there’s no guess work.

The roominess of wardrobe boxes can accommodate special occasion outfits such as wedding dresses and tuxedos. Religious groups and theatrical groups may find wardrobe boxes an invaluable addition. They can be used to hold and protect robes, vestments, and costumes.

However, wardrobe boxes aren’t just for clothing. A wardrobe box can be turned into a wrapping station. Commercially produced wrapping stations can be expensive and a wardrobe box comes at a fraction of the price. Wardrobe boxes are tall enough to accommodate the longest tubes of wrapping paper while the bar can be used to keep spools of ribbon neat and organized.

Quilters and seamstresses can make good use of wardrobe boxes to hold works in progress. The cardboard enclosure will help protect the wandering fingers of children from sharp pins and careful pinning from the curiosity of children and pets. The boxes can also be used to organize fabrics, strips of trim, and to make sure a measuring tape is always handy.

Wardrobe boxes are sturdy and durable. The bar across the top and the ample space at the bottom can be used to hold and protect a variety of things. The use of a wardrobe box is only limited by your imagination.

Wardrobe moving boxes - where can you find them?

Whatever your reason for wanting to buy wardrobe boxes, whether it is because you are moving, you want to store away unused clothing or you are trying to clear out cluttered wardrobes and drawers, they are fairly easy to find on line and at office supply shops.

A simple search on line will turn up a lot of different places where you can find wardrobe boxes. One of the more popular places to purchase your wardrobe boxes is from UPS. UPS can be found all over the US, and in most other countries worldwide, and they are definitely experts when it comes to packing and providing solid boxes for moving. Their popular 24″ x 24″ x 40″ sized wardrobe boxes provide you with up to six feet of hanging space. The boxes come with a hanging bar, and are strong enough to be used for storage and to be reused when moving again. You can order these easily on line and they will be shipped or delivered to you within a couple of days.

You can also pick up wardrobe boxes from OfficeDepot, or OfficeMax both of which offer free shipping as an additional bonus. Naturally, you can find quite a few wardrobe boxes for sale on Amazon as well, where you can not only find new wardrobe boxes, but occasionally you can also find second-hand boxes as well.

Finally, if you ask around or even advertise locally you may find that people have unused wardrobe boxes that they are no longer using, left over from their moving house for example, that they would be very happy to pass on for another to use.

There are several things to take into consideration when ordering or buying wardrobe boxes. The first thing is to make sure that the box you are buying is equipped with a rod, as they are sometimes sold without one which is not very useful. Also, look for retailers who are willing to provide you with free shipping as that can really cut back on the amount of money you spend for your temporary storage wardrobe. It is important that the wardrobe box is made from heavy duty cardboard so that it will stand up to frequent use, and will keep its shape and thus protect any clothing stored inside.

Finally, some retailers offer to buy the boxes back once you are finished with them. This is particularly useful if you are using them temporarily for moving house.
