Packing

The thought of packing your entire home or office can be overwhelming. No doubt about it; at first it might seem downright impossible but with careful planning along with Planned Directions’ help and easy to follow tips, packing can be a breeze. It really can, trust us; it’s what we do well!

If you have fragile items, we can pack them. Larger items, we can pack them. Oddly shaped items, we can pack them. Everyday items…. that’s us too. Just be careful not to leave yourself in the way….we may just pack you too!

To get you started here are our top pick 5 packing tips

• Make a packing supply list so you purchase the right amount of packing and moving supplies. If you are unsure about what you will need Planned Directions, your five star Mississauga mover will be happy to guide you.
• Get rid of ‘stuff’ you don’t want or need. We know that too much ‘stuff’ can really weigh us down so sell, giveaway, host a garage sale and keep them moving…out.
• Secure the right size and kind of moving boxes. Depending on your needs and budget, secure moving boxes (Planned Directions can supply) that are sturdy and can handle your fragile and specialty items. (Rule of thumb; your boxes should weigh under 50 lbs)
• Find out from your mover what not to pack or at least what you should be careful packing. There are some items that movers won’t move or that require special handling.
• Pack an ‘essential’ box . This is the box that you will need for at least 24 hours to survive while you’re in between moves. Consider basic items like toilet paper, soap, dishwashing liquid, snacks, plates, cups, forks, spoons, knives etc.

If you still feel overwhelmed, even after a shot or two, give us a call and we will happily hold your hand and walk you through the packing process.

After forty seven years of packing and moving, we really get it. That’s why we have become your five star Mississauga movers.
