Smart Moving Strategies
Expert advice from Jupiter's Moving & Storage to make your relocation stress-free.
Purge, Purge, Purge
Before you begin packing, sort through your belongings and set aside any unwanted items to throw away or donate. This will save time and make you feel better before you start.
Pack Methodically
Box everything up room by room & label as much as possible. Mark breakables with a FRAGILE marking so we can place them safely on our trucks.
Don’t Forget the Truck
For Apartment moves, reserve a parking spot and elevator time. Locking an elevator open speeds up our pace considerably, saving you time and money!
TV’s & Stereos
Use original packaging if possible. It guarantees a sure fit and helps in transport. Pro Tip: Tie or tether all cords to prevent tangling.
Fragile Items
Pack lampshades in sturdy boxes and tape boxes top and bottom. Structural rigidity is key to ensuring your most prized possessions stay safe.
Kids & Pets
Arrange a sitter for children and secure pets in a crate or yard. As much as we love pets, they aren't quite as helpful as they think during a move!
Stay on Budget
Preparation is key! Disassembling furniture and bagging loose items before we arrive are the best ways to save time and money.
Color Coordinate
Use stickers or colored cards for different rooms. This helps your movers put the right boxes in the right place for easier unpacking.
