For moving considerations that often escape people’s minds to the last minutes, see the article “The first night: how to enjoy moving in to your new house.” Packing, however, is one thing that everyone knows is coming whenever they start planning a move. Whether you’re moving out of your parents’ house, an apartment, or another house, you’re going to have to spend some time getting everything together. Luckily, there are a number of places you can go to get moving supplies well in advance of the big day, so you don’t need to spend hours lurking outside of Wal-Mart at 3 in the morning waiting for the boxes to be thrown out (although many stores will let you have access to them during stocking hours if you simply ask). As you can see from the list below, which offers just a small sampling of your choices, many moving companies also offer moving supplies for purchase. Many local moving companies also offer supplies for sale.When it comes to packing, it’s best to simply use common sense. Don’t pack heavy items with light, don’t stack boxes too high, don’t overpack boxes. And if you find yourself with something you want to get rid of, don’t hesitate to call a junk removal company, or donate them to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army store.
