Moving Tips Learn How to Organise an Interstate Move | Page 5

The best place to start is packing the non-essentials household items that won’t be needed during the move such as storage items, kitchen ware, bedding and bathroom items, and clothing. The Spruce says labelling these boxes after packing is a sure-fire way to provide instructions or details about where they go after the move. A useful tip to ensure a box isn’t lost during the move is to practice taking inventory – numbering the boxes and checking them off as it goes to help keep track of its movements. Realestate suggests ensuring food in the fridge that doesn’t have a long perishable period is consumed before the move. Otherwise, pack the fridge contents in a travel cooler in the last two days before the move to let the fridge settle. Once the fridge is moved to the new location, let it settle before storing food.
