Tips from professionals with years of experience in moving to make your relocation perfect.

πŸ’‘ Organization

Start packing the rooms you use least. Leave the kitchen and bathroom for last, as these are the ones you need most until the last moment.

πŸ“¦ Smart packing

Use boxes of the same size to facilitate transport. Pack by weight: heavy objects in small boxes, light objects in large boxes.

🏷️ Labeling

Label each box with its contents and destination room. Use different colors for each room to facilitate organization.

πŸ“± Technology

Use moving apps to make inventories, take photos of your belongings and keep everything organized digitally.
