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. :)

Wardrobe Boxes for Your Rummage Sale

Posted by Luke in wardrobe boxes, wardrobe moving boxes, wardrobe packing tips | No Comments

Wardrobe Boxes

You have a bunch of clothes in your closet that you know are destined for next year’s rummage sale rack, yet you have nowhere else to put them.  You certainly don’t want to stack them in the basement or box them up into moving boxes, since you want to maintain their sellable condition.  You may have even already tried the hand-me-down route, only to be laughed out of the room by your kids (it’s ok, it happens).  Fortunately, you can store these clothes in a convenient and effective matter while also having the added bonus of a unique presentation method for your rummage sale.

Wardrobe boxes provide an efficient means to store your unused hanging clothes for long period of time.  The best wardrobe boxes include heavy duty metal hanger bars and test stronger than the industry standard, thanks to double wall construction.  These boxes are large (24″x24″x40″) and have the durability to stand up to long-term storage.  They will help you free up a large amount of valuable closet space, allowing you to pack away your unused clothing and forget about it until the time comes to setup the rummage sale.

The convenient shape of wardrobe boxes, which allows you to easily pack and unpack your clothing, can also be a unique and effective presentation for your sale.  The people browsing your rummage sale have probably been to quite a few that day, everyone featuring the same boring closet bar stuff with hanging clothes of various sizes and ages.  Your sale, on the other hand, can feature clothes neatly hung in separate wardrobe boxes, which you also have the option to categorize based on size or season of clothing.

Take a load of your mind (and out of your closet) and give your rummage sale a unique and appealing look with large durable wardrobe boxes.

Wardrobe Boxes for Your Sanity

Wardrobe Boxes

For folks who have been in their house or apartment for a long period of time, it can be frustrating and intimidating to stare at the cluttered mess that was once an organized closet or wardrobe. While the mess may nearly drive you mad, you may be reluctant to tackle the problem, figuring that the time and effort it will take is just too great. Fortunately, you don’t have to succumb to cluttered closets or wardrobes and you also don’t have to spend a bunch of time or money to fix it.

If only you had some method of long-term storage for outfits you won’t wear until winter, or maybe even those you plan to sell in your next rummage sale. You certainly can pile them away in moving boxes, which will eventually be pushed into the corner of the basement, never to be seen again. And, as readily available as those black garbage bags are, they just don’t seem to offer the type of wrinkle-free solution you are hoping for.

Enter the convenient and affordable wardrobe box. While good wardrobe boxes are strong enough and large enough for moving day, they also have the durability to meet your long-term storage needs. Heavy duty metal hanger bars and crush test ratings above industry standards make these portable closets a dream for the convenient and efficient storage of seasonal outfits or items you’d like to keep in “sellable” condition.

With the ease of use and affordability of wardrobe boxes, you will be able to regain not only your lost storage space and your sense of pride in your organizational ability, but also a healthy portion of the sanity you thought was buried forever beneath those piles in your closet.

Wardrobe Boxes – What Are Your Other Options?

Posted by Luke in moving boxes, wardrobe boxes, wardrobe moving boxes, wardrobe packing tips | No Comments

Wardrobe Boxes

You may be the type of person who treats every new or speciality item with scepticism, preferring instead to use the equipment or tools you already have, even if they are not exactly suited for the task at hand.  No doubt some are prone to react this way to wardrobe boxes, given their unconventional shape and obvious specialization to a specific aspect of moving.  Let’s take a moment to consider your other options for moving a large quantity of clothing, specifically those items hanging in your closet.

Clothing has traditionally been one of the most cumbersome and space-consuming categories of items to move from one house to another.  It is also often overlooked when it comes to planning a move or lining up the necessary materials for a smooth and efficient move.  Often, hanging clothes are taken off the hanger, folded up, and packed according to type of season of clothing.  While this is a very organized approach, it can also quickly fill up the moving boxes you have at your disposal.  Your various clothing items can also shift quite a bit during your move, leaving you with a bit of a wrinkled mess when you open your boxes.

Another option is to pack up your moving boxes, load them into your vehicle or moving truck, then simply lay your hanging clothes on top.  This eliminates the need for extra boxes, while also preventing creasing and wrinkling during your move.  However, having attempted to employ this option a few times in the past, I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that these clothes will slide off your boxes at some point during your drive, once again leaving you with a wrinkled pile to sort through, while also picking up any dirt or grime from the floor of your moving truck.  Hanging them in your vehicle isn’t a real option either, since most cars only have room for a few hangers on those handy little plastic hooks.

Truthfully, the only wardrobe boxes anyone needs to be sceptical of are those that are not strong enough or large enough to suit your needs.  Wardrobe boxes that test stronger than the moving box industry standard, include heavy duty metal hanger bars, and are large enough to accomodate your needs are well worth the very affordable price you can find them for.  Utilizing a few wardrobe boxes can save you not only frustration on your arrival at your new home, but it can also save you time and stress during your move.

Wardrobe Boxes

These days, it seems like there are speciality products for every little activity or aspect of daily life.  Most of us either have no need for or cannot afford these products.  It may seem the same way with moving boxes.  Many retailers offer a wide variety of speciality moving boxes that only prompt the typical customer to imagine other ways of moving their items.  Believe it or not, wardrobe boxes do not fall into this category for the average mover.

A hastily planned or executed move can be the downfall of your moving day, adding unnecessary stress or frustration to your first day in your new house or apartment.  Speaking as someone who once transported his clothes in nothing but black garbage bags, I can tell you that having the correct moving box for a specific purpose is no different than finding the most useful tool to fix any other problem.  Wardrobe boxes are certainly the most effective tool for transporting the hanging clothing or outfits from your closet.  The strength, convenience, and long-term durability that these boxes offer is enough to wipe away your moving day stress and allow you to happily greet your new home.

Wardrobe boxes

We all know one.  That friend or relative that insists on getting things done ahead of time.  Or maybe you’re the pre-planner everyone knows.  For these types of people, wardrobe boxes are a dream come true.  These boxes are not only large, sturdy portable closets, they can also store seasonal outfits for long periods of time without any need for unpacking.  But, for those of us with extended forsight, they can save you a lot of last-minute anxiety surrounding your upcoming move.

It’s no secret that the transition from you current house or apartment to your new place can involve some tricky timing.  A lot of times, you are expected to transfer your belongings in a single day.  This approach seems to assume that you have all your boxes packed and waiting far in advance.  Unfortunately, this approach can be far from practical when it comes to items you need for your day-to-day life.  This includes your clothing, which also happen to be some of the most surprisingly cumbersome and time-consuming items to pack.

Fortunately, wardrobe boxes are able to easily accomodate long-term storage of several outfits.  They are also designed for easy access during packing and unpacking.  This allows you the freedom to pack your wardrobe boxes far in advance, while not sacrificing the availability of your clothes.
