First up: Ditch the cardboard
That’s why we offer Reusable Plastic Crates!
(pre-move delivered to your door!)
They’re stackable, sturdy, and you don’t have to build anything (no tape required = immediate win). Plus, way less waste. We drop them off and pick them up when you’re done. Simple.
📦 Better for the planet
📦 Easier on our back.
📦 You look like you have your life together (even if you don’t).
Packing basics that work for everyone
1. Keep heavy stuff in smaller containers - Books, candles, random kitchen gadgets—pack those in smaller crates or boxes so they’re easier to lift. Save your big crates for light stuff like pillows, blankets, or that collection of reusable totes you keep saying you’ll use.
2. Label everything clearly - Be nice to your future self. Write the room and a quick list of what’s inside on a sticky note or piece of tape. Bonus points if you label the top and sides.
3. One room at a time - Trying to pack your whole place all at once = overwhelm. Focus on one room at a time, starting with the stuff you don’t use daily. Think: guest towels, off-season clothes, anything in “junk” drawers (spoiler: half of it can probably go).
4. Use what you’ve got - No bubble wrap? Wrap fragile stuff in towels, sweaters or tote bags. Suitcases are great for heavier items (books, shoes).
Rubbish bags work for soft stuff like bedding and clothes. Get scrappy—it works!
Your Move Doesn’t Need to be a Mess.
Start early (if you can), label generously and make life easier with plastic crates.
They’re cleaner, stronger and don’t end up being nightmare when you’re done.
Plus, we handle the pickup—no late-night recycling runs required.
