Don’t pack your toilet paper at the bottom of the moving truck – that’s just one of the very important tips you’ll find in this new free guide from Movers.com, which explains how to avoid common mistakes and provides free quotes from expert NYC movers.
Have you ever lost something small, but important, something you really needed - in a place where you knew sort of where it was, but it wasn't really accessible?
For example, losing your wallet or keys down a heat-vent - you know where they are, they're practically in reach, but at the same time, they might as well be on the moon for all the good they're doing.
Well, if you've ever moved and packed something in the wrong place, or had issues with the truck - then you probably know exactly where I'm going with this, it's another free guide from Movers.com, but this one is focused on helping you to avoid common, easily corrected mistakes.
If you're familiar with Movers.com already, then you don't need me to explain anything, you might as well head right over to the free guide by clicking here - or bookmark it for later if you want to learn more first.
In this latest free guide, Movers.com specialists provide a comprehensive list of items that you'll probably need in the first 24 - 48 hours in your new home - and they also explain why it's important.
You might think you can be moved in, unpacked, and ready to go long before the 48-hour mark - but I wouldn't place any bets on it. If everything, and I mean everything, goes absolutely perfectly - then maybe. Just maybe.
More often though, it can take days, weeks, or - I'm sorry to say it, even months, to fully unpack. We're not going to worry about that because, with Movers.com, you can definitely get the job done in a week or two at most - but those first few days can still be pretty tricky.
All you really need to know is what stuff you may need in the first few days, before you get fully unpacked, so that you can pack that stuff separately.
The full list of essential items suggested by Movers.com includes 5 categories of items, though the specifics in each category may vary from person to person.
They suggest that you pack, separately, a full set of tools, cleaning supplies, bedding, kitchen essentials, and toiletries.
More than that though, they also suggest that you hold on to this stuff, and don't even put it in the moving truck if you can avoid it. If it won't fit in a separate load, that's okay - but it's better if you can keep it on your person, just in case there's a problem with the truck.
The best thing you can do is just read the full, free guide for yourself by clicking here, and decide what items are essential to you, your family, and your unique needs, in the first 48 hours in a new home.
In fact, if you need help with any part of your move, Movers.com can help - that's literally what they do best.
Actually, it's all they do - so that probably explains why they have so much helpful information. Their website is packed with free guides and strategies for everything related to moving.

They have a unique quote request tool that lets you find the best crews, the best rates, and the best service options, in only about a minute.
