Now that you know more about Jackson, it’s likely that you’re feeling more confident about making the move there. Moving to Jackson from outside the state of Mississippi?

When preparing for a local move (or any move for that matter) we highly recommend doing your research. Rather than calling to book with the first moving company you come across, take the time to look into the background of each. Choose your moving company carefully after first checking their BBB ratings, license, and insurance. Next, be sure to check how long they’ve been in business and take a look at customer reviews. Use all of these factors (along with consider moving rates, of course) to make your final decision.

Now that you know everything you need to know about not only Jackson but Poseidon Moving and Storage’s moving services, it’s time to start preparing for your move! That being said, we have a couple of moving tips that you should consider as you prepare to make things even easier. Make your move a pleasant experience that you can remember fondly by practicing these helpful moving hacks!

Firstly, we highly recommend avoiding overpacking moving boxes as you pack for your move to Jackson. This is a common mistake that we see customers make time and time again. In order to move as few boxes as possible, people end up cramming as many items as possible into one moving box. Unfortunately, this can make for incredibly heavy moving boxes that can all but break your back. Additionally, the more items you cram into a single moving box, the more likely it is that that box will break. This could mean the items inside end up damaged. Use as many boxes as you need to create easy-to-lift loads and make sure to keep each moving box under 50 pounds in weight.

Secondly, we suggest making sure that you use the right size moving boxes. Place heavy items such as books in small boxes and leave lighter items, such as pillows or clothing, in larger boxes. This will make it much easier for your movers to organize and pack your items into the moving truck on moving day. Additionally, pack heavier items on the bottom of the box and lighter items on the top. This will ensure that you avoid damaging breakables. Good luck!
