5 Steps to save time, money & sanity.
01. Decode the Lingo
Don't sign blindly. "Valuation" isn't full insurance, and "Long Carry" fees apply if the truck can't park close.
02. The 15% Rule
Moving budgets break easily. Add a 15% buffer for supplies & tips.
03. Smart Supplies
Get free boxes from local stores. Buy more tape than you think.
04. Avoid Rookie Mistakes
Booking on price alone? Not labeling boxes? Not measuring doorways? Chaos.
05. The 4-Week Plan

Wk 2: Supplies.

Customization Options
Depending on your family’s specific needs and preferences, customize your survival box contents accordingly. For example, if you have pets, include their food, water bowls, and any medications they require. Tailoring the box to your unique circumstances enhances its effectiveness in supporting you throughout the moving process.
