Obtain moving materials and supplies
For successful completion of the moving process, it is better to gather all necessary packing supplies and materials before stuffing your belongings into boxes.

Thus, you can ask neighbors, stores, family members, or friends if they have any extra moving boxes. Another way to save money is to use social media and search for free or low-priced moving materials.

Make a list of belongings that you are planning to pack

It will help you to stay organized and therefore the unpacking process will be quick and less stressful. You can use a colorful marker or tape to label each box by mentioning rooms and it will help you or the movers to identify where the boxes will go in your new house or apartment.
By making a list of belongings, you can easily identify the items that can be donated, sold, or just thrown away later. Donating and selling items will help you save money and energy because you don’t need to pack them. Shark movers also recommend you ask friends or family members to look through your list to be sure you don’t forget anything.
Pack belonging of each family member separately
It can take some time to move and you can stay separated from your belongings even for several weeks. That’s why it is highly recommended to prepare a suitcase for every family member. All necessary items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, or hairbrush must be included in the suitcase. It is important to pack all necessary documents such as birth certificates, security cards, and any other valuable things that you would like to keep safe.
Disassemble large items
Bulky and large objects such as cabinets, tables, and dressers can be carried and packed much easier if you disassemble them into small pieces. For example, you can break down bookshelves or bed frames and pack them more compactly and easily. It will also keep them safe from scratches and any other damage.
