How to Know If a DIY Move Is Right for You

It can be daunting to decide whether to look for local movers or opt for a DIY moving solution. There are a few things to consider. First, a do-it-yourself (DIY) move does not mean you have to move all by yourself. Go Mini's of Columbia, SC is happy to help while giving you the control and flexibility you need to move on your terms. We give you the moving equipment, so you can move with your friends and family.

Second, a DIY move may be right for you if you want time to get rid of things you no longer need, a move that involves trusted helpers instead of hired hands, and the convenience of moving on a weekend or at your own pace.

If you have a portable storage container, you can spend time going through your things, and packing. There's no rush to make sure everything is ready for the movers. Once everything is loaded into the container the move itself should only take a couple of hours, and then you have as long as you need to unpack!

How to Efficiently Pack a Mobile Storage Container for a Local Move

Efficient packing of a portable storage container for a local move requires a strategic approach. To begin with, start by gathering all packing supplies such as boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Prepare a list of items and categorize them based on their size and fragility.

Large, less fragile items like furniture and appliances should be placed at the base. Consider using furniture pads or blankets to protect against scratches. Follow this with medium-sized, less fragile items like pots, pans, and books.

For fragile items like dishes and glassware, wrap each piece individually in bubble wrap and place them in sturdy boxes. Fill empty spaces in these boxes with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to minimize movement during transit.

Lighter, smaller items and boxes should be placed on top of heavier items. This balances the weight and prevents damage. Always remember to label your boxes clearly to simplify unpacking.

Finally, make sure to secure all items against movement. You can use straps or ropes to tie down larger items. The key to an efficient packing process is to utilize space wisely and ensure the safety of your belongings.
