<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relocating to a new home is an exciting milestone, but unforeseen delays can disrupt your plans and add stress to an already significant life event. Whether caused by logistical issues, weather conditions, or personal circumstances, a delayed move requires swift and strategic action. In this guide, we provide in-depth strategies to navigate moving delays effectively, ensuring a smooth transition to your new local residence.</p>
<h3>Understanding the Causes of Moving Delays</h3>
<p>Before addressing a move delay, it’s essential to identify the underlying causes. Common factors include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Weather Conditions:</strong> Adverse weather such as heavy rain, snow, or hurricanes can impede transportation and delay moving schedules.</li>
<li><strong>Logistical Challenges:</strong> Issues with moving company scheduling, vehicle availability, or route planning can cause setbacks.</li>
<li><strong>Administrative Hurdles:</strong> Delays in paperwork, permits, or approvals required for the move can stall the process.</li>
<li><strong>Personal Emergencies:</strong> Health issues, family emergencies, or unexpected personal commitments may necessitate postponing the move.</li>
<li><strong>Housing Market Fluctuations:</strong> Availability of the new home, finalizing purchase agreements, or delays in current lease terminations can impact moving timelines.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Understanding these factors allows for proactive measures to mitigate delays.</p>
<h3>Assessing the Impact of a Delayed Move</h3>
<p>A delayed move can have several repercussions, including:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Extended Temporary Housing Costs:</strong> Prolonged stays in temporary accommodations can increase expenses.</li>
<li><strong>Storage Fees:</strong> Additional charges for storing belongings longer than initially planned.</li>
<li><strong>Disruption to Employment:</strong> Extended relocation periods may affect job start dates or current employment.</li>
<li><strong>Family and Social Adjustments:</strong> Delays can interfere with schooling, childcare arrangements, and community integration.</li>
<li><strong>Financial Strain:</strong> Unanticipated costs associated with delays can impact your relocation budget.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Assessing these impacts helps prioritize actions to minimize disruptions.</p>
<h3>Communicating with Your Moving Company</h3>
<p>Effective communication with your moving company is crucial when facing delays. Follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Immediate Notification:</strong> Inform your moving company as soon as a delay is anticipated.</li>
<li><strong>Clarify the Reason:</strong> Understand the specific cause of the delay to address it effectively.</li>
<li><strong>Discuss Rescheduling Options:</strong> Explore alternative dates and times that accommodate both parties.</li>
<li><strong>Review Contract Terms:</strong> Examine your agreement for clauses related to delays, including potential fees or cancellation policies.</li>
<li><strong>Seek Compensation if Applicable:</strong> If the delay is due to the moving company’s fault, discuss possible reimbursements or discounts.</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Maintaining clear and respectful communication fosters a cooperative relationship and facilitates smoother rescheduling.</p>
<h3>Reorganizing Your Moving Timeline</h3>
<p>Adjusting your moving timeline requires careful planning:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Update Your Schedule:</strong> Modify your moving checklist to reflect the new timeline, ensuring all tasks are realigned accordingly.</li>
<li><strong>Prioritize Tasks:</strong> Identify critical activities that must be completed despite the delay, such as securing temporary housing or updating your address.</li>
<li><strong>Set New Deadlines:</strong> Establish realistic deadlines for each task to maintain momentum and accountability.</li>
<li><strong>Monitor Progress:</strong> Regularly review your updated timeline to ensure adherence and address any emerging issues promptly.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>A reorganized timeline helps maintain order and reduces the potential for further delays.</p>
<h3>Securing Temporary Accommodation</h3>
<p>If your move is significantly delayed, securing temporary accommodation becomes a priority:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Research Options Early:</strong> Explore available short-term housing solutions such as hotels, extended-stay apartments, or short-term rentals.</li>
<li><strong>Consider Budget Constraints:</strong> Balance comfort with affordability to manage temporary living costs effectively.</li>
<li><strong>Ensure Proximity to Current Residence:</strong> Choosing nearby accommodations minimizes additional travel and logistical complications.</li>
<li><strong>Plan for Pets and Family Needs:</strong> Select temporary housing that accommodates all family members and pets comfortably.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Early preparation ensures a seamless transition to temporary living arrangements, minimizing disruption.</p>
<h3>Protecting Your Belongings During the Delay</h3>
<p>Safeguarding your possessions during a move delay is essential:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Utilize Storage Solutions:</strong> Rent a storage unit to keep your belongings secure and organized until the move resumes.</li>
<li><strong>Implement Inventory Management:</strong> Maintain a detailed inventory of stored items to monitor their condition and location.</li>
<li><strong>Ensure Proper Packing:</strong> Use appropriate packing materials to protect items from damage, especially if stored for extended periods.</li>
<li><strong>Insurance Coverage:</strong> Verify that your belongings are insured during storage to mitigate potential losses from theft, damage, or natural disasters.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Protecting your belongings preserves their integrity and ensures readiness for the eventual move.</p>
<h3>Managing Utilities and Services</h3>
<p>Prolonged moving timelines necessitate careful management of utilities and services:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Extend Current Services:</strong> Contact utility providers to extend service periods at your current residence to avoid disruptions.</li>
<li><strong>Set Up Temporary Services:</strong> Arrange for temporary utilities at your new home if available, ensuring a smooth transition once the move resumes.</li>
<li><strong>Update Service Providers:</strong> Inform essential service providers, such as internet and cable companies, about the new move dates to adjust schedules accordingly.</li>
<li><strong>Budget for Extended Services:</strong> Anticipate and allocate funds for additional utility costs incurred due to the delay.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Efficient management of utilities ensures comfort and functionality in both your current and future homes.</p>
<h3>Keeping Your Family and Pets Comfortable</h3>
<p>A move delay can be unsettling for family members and pets:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Maintain Routine:</strong> Keeping daily routines consistent provides stability and reduces stress for children and pets.</li>
<li><strong>Provide Emotional Support:</strong> Communicate openly about the reasons for the delay and reassure family members of the move’s eventual completion.</li>
<li><strong>Create a Comfortable Environment:</strong> Enhance your current living space with activities and comforts that make the extended stay enjoyable.</li>
<li><strong>Pet Care Arrangements:</strong> Ensure pets receive adequate attention, exercise, and care to prevent anxiety or behavioral issues during the delay.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Prioritizing the well-being of family members fosters a positive and resilient household environment.</p>
<h3>Financial Considerations of a Move Delay</h3>
<p>A delayed move can impact your financial planning:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Review Your Budget:</strong> Assess how the delay affects your overall moving budget, accounting for additional expenses such as temporary housing and storage fees.</li>
<li><strong>Adjust Financial Allocations:</strong> Reallocate funds to cover unexpected costs while maintaining essential budget categories.</li>
<li><strong>Explore Cost-Saving Measures:</strong> Identify areas where you can reduce expenses, such as negotiating discounts with service providers or limiting discretionary spending.</li>
<li><strong>Maintain an Emergency Fund:</strong> Ensure you have reserves to cover unforeseen financial burdens associated with the delay.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Proactive financial management mitigates the economic impact of a move delay and preserves your relocation budget.</p>
<h3>Planning for the Rescheduled Move</h3>
<p>Once a delay is unavoidable, planning the rescheduled move becomes paramount:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Confirm New Dates:</strong> Establish clear and confirmed dates with all stakeholders, including the moving company, landlords, and utility providers.</li>
<li><strong>Reallocate Resources:</strong> Adjust your resources, such as labor and transportation, to align with the new schedule.</li>
<li><strong>Update Moving Checklists:</strong> Revise your moving checklist to accommodate the new timeline, ensuring all tasks are completed systematically.</li>
<li><strong>Communicate Changes:</strong> Inform all relevant parties, including family members and service providers, about the updated move schedule to ensure coordination.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Thorough planning for the rescheduled move ensures readiness and reduces the likelihood of further delays.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Creating a Moving Delay Contingency Plan</h3>
<p>Developing a contingency plan prepares you for potential future delays:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Identify Potential Risks:</strong> Assess factors that could cause delays, such as weather patterns, transportation issues, or personal emergencies.</li>
<li><strong>Develop Mitigation Strategies:</strong> Create plans to address each identified risk, such as having backup moving dates or alternative service providers.</li>
<li><strong>Allocate Emergency Funds:</strong> Set aside a portion of your budget to cover unexpected expenses resulting from delays.</li>
<li><strong>Secure Flexible Contracts:</strong> Negotiate with service providers for flexibility in scheduling and potential adjustments without significant penalties.</li>
<li><strong>Maintain Open Communication:</strong> Ensure continuous communication with all parties involved to promptly address any emerging issues.</li>
<li><strong>Regularly Review and Update Plan:</strong> Periodically reassess and refine your contingency plan to account for new information or changing circumstances.</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>A well-crafted contingency plan enhances your ability to manage and overcome moving delays effectively.</p>
<h3>We end with this:</h3>
<p>While a delayed move can introduce challenges, strategic planning and proactive measures can mitigate its impact. By understanding the causes, assessing the consequences, and implementing comprehensive strategies, you can navigate moving delays with confidence and ease. Prioritize clear communication, financial management, and the well-being of your family to ensure a successful transition to your new local home, even in the face of unexpected setbacks.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>You’ve planned your move meticulously. Everything’s packed up, the <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/">professional movers</a> will be here soon, and the weather has been clear and sunny for weeks. But on the day of your move, you wake up to the gentle pitter-patter of rain soaking into your lawn and shining on the pavement. Rain is the very last thing you need when you’re preparing for a big moving day. Who wants soaked stuff, slick walkways, and extra mud to deal with? But don’t panic! As a moving company who has been around for over 40 years, we’ve seen a lot of moving days, rain or shine, and we promise you can make it through with minimal dampness and mud in the process.</div>
<div></div>
<p>Here’s how to handle a rainy moving day like a professional.</p>
<h3>1) To Get Prepared:</h3>
<h4>Set Aside Cleaning Supplies & Towels</h4>
<p>The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure your cleaning supplies and towels don’t go into the truck too soon. Even though your professional movers will put down floor protection, you’ll likely want to mop when the move is over and possibly during the day if there’s enough mud or tracked-in puddles to deal with. So, have your mop and bucket ready to go and ready to throw last into the truck.</p>
<p>Towels are equally useful for other reasons. Towels can dry off lightly damp items when they get into the truck, wrap items to weather brief rain exposure, and mop up floor puddles should they occur. So, keep a few towels handy and don’t be shy about quick-wash or quick-drying them during the day.</p>
<h4>Back the Truck Right Up to Your Door</h4>
<p>Next, do everything you can to limit the amount of time your belongings are being carried under the open rainy sky. Covered porches are great for extending your rain-protected walk if you have one. Either way, you will want to back the truck up as close to your door as possible, considering the ramp length if applicable. This will minimize the number of raindrops that can fall on your items and moving team during the day.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h3>2) To Protect Your Stuff:</h3>
<h4>Covered Porches and Make-Shift Tarp Roofs</h4>
<p>Try to create as much cover for your outside walking path as is possible. Use covered porches if you can and investigate the area for possible clever use of tarps. You might be able to string a tarp from the top of the truck to the edge of your porch, but then again, maybe not. Don’t go overboard but try to minimize the rain-exposed space between your door and the truck.</p>
<h4>Wrap Furniture & Boxes for Rain Exposure</h4>
<p>Next, think about how you’ll transfer furniture and boxes from the door to the truck without getting them soaked. Tarps are great for this, as well, but you can also get creative and use items you already have. Large trash bags, for example, can wrap boxes or be laid over furniture as you go but have a greater risk of catching air and flying away than a heavy tarp.</p>
<p>Even blankets and towels can protect your items from a few feet of light drizzle if you move quickly.</p>
<h4>Plastic Crates to and From the Truck</h4>
<p>Consider picking up a few large plastic crates from a nearby home improvement store. These are very effective for transporting smaller items or boxes and can be used again and again. Use a closed plastic crate like a rain shield, putting items inside, then emptying the crate in the truck and returning for another protected load. This method may take a little longer but will keep your items dry.</p>
<h4>Towel Everything Off in the Truck</h4>
<p>And when items do make it to the truck, have someone inside with a stack of towels waiting to dry them off. A quick towel-off can make a big difference for lightly damp and even plastic-protected items and can also reduce the moisture inside the truck during the move.</p>
<p>Keep towels inside the house as well to towel off tarps, boxes, and plastic wrap that has done their job but got wet in the process.</p>
<h3>3) To Protect Your Floors:</h3>
<h4>Floor Mats for Foot Wiping</h4>
<p>If there’s mud on the transport path, put down heavy-duty floor mats / welcome mats at any entrance being used. Encourage foot wiping for everyone and be prepared to bang out the mats to use anew halfway through the move. Put down towels to prevent puddles.</p>
<h4>Bucket Brigade Across the Doorway</h4>
<p>One excellent way to keep your floors clean during a rainy or muddy move is to work in a bucket-brigade fashion. Have one group of people indoors with clean shoes picking up boxes and furniture to take them to the front door, and another group with muddy shoes who take items from there to the truck. Use your tiled entryway or covered porch as the hand-off zone.</p>
<h4>Towel-Up Puddles & Mud Slicks Quickly</h4>
<p>Finally, keep those towels and the mop-bucket handy to quickly clean up any messes that make it indoors. Mud can be put right back outside or mopped up, and puddles can be soaked up with towels. If your towels get too wet in the process, throw them in the dryer (if it’s not already loaded on the moving van) or find places to hang them in rotation.</p>
<p>If all of this planning seems a little overwhelming, remember, when <strong>hiring professional movers</strong>, they will take the stress out of a rainy moving day by figuring out the <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/logistics.html">logistics</a> of everything for you in order to minimize the exposure to your items.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feeling anxious about that looming move? No worries – you’ve got choices! Instead of sweating it out with a U-Haul, why not explore other options for getting your stuff from A to B? Opting for <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/fayetteville-movers/areas-index.html">professional movers</a> can often be safer, more convenient, and even more budget-friendly. Check out some of the perks of <strong>hiring movers</strong> for your next <strong>relocation</strong>.</p>
<h2>Ease</h2>
<p>Let’s face it – moving is never a walk in the park. <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/packing-yourself-may-save-a-little-money-but-hiring-a-professional-mover-will-save-more-than-a-little-stress/">Packing up your life</a> and lugging it all to a new place can be a major headache. But with <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/">professional movers</a> on board, you can kiss those worries goodbye. They’ll handle the heavy lifting, leaving you free to focus on the fun stuff. So, if you’re all about simplifying your <strong>move</strong>, <strong>movers</strong> might just be the way to go.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>
<p>The thought of your prized possessions bouncing around in the back of a truck can be downright scary. But fear not—with <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/bentonville-movers/index.html">experienced movers</a>, your stuff is in safe hands. They’ll pack everything up tight and ensure it all arrives at your new digs in one piece. Peace of mind? Check.</p>
<h2>Savings</h2>
<p>Sure, <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/labor-only-movers.html">renting a U-Haul</a> might seem like the cheaper option at first glance. But when you factor in the hidden costs – like fuel, insurance, and potential damages – the numbers can start to add up. On the flip side, <strong>hiring movers</strong> can actually save you cash in the long run. Plus, it saves you the hassle of doing all the heavy lifting yourself. Win-win.</p>
<p>Whether you’re moving across town or <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/long_distance_movers/index.html">across the country</a>, there are plenty of reasons to <strong>choose movers over a U-Haul</strong>. At Razorback Moving, <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/about-us.html">our team of pros</a> has got you covered. <strong>With years of experience</strong> under our belts, we’ll make sure your move goes off without a hitch.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Guide to Moving Costs in Tampa, Florida</h1>
<p>Tampa, a sun-kissed city on <strong><a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/tampa-bay-movers.html">Florida’s Gulf Coast</a></strong>, is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, industries, and attractions. If you’re considering a move to this dynamic locale, understanding the potential costs associated with relocation is essential. In this detailed guide, we’ll delve deep into the various factors that can influence your <strong><a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/tampa-movers.html">moving costs in Tampa</a></strong>, providing you with a clearer picture of what to expect.</p>
<h3>Understanding the Key Factors That Influence <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/tampa-movers.html">Moving Costs in Tampa</a></h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Size of Your Move</strong>: The volume of items you need to transport directly affects the cost. Whether you’re moving a studio apartment or a sprawling family home, your belongings’ quantity will dictate the size and type of moving truck required.</li>
<li><strong>Distance of the Move</strong>: Local moves within Tampa typically cost less than long-distance relocations, which may involve crossing state lines or even moving internationally.</li>
<li><strong>Packing and Unpacking Services</strong>: If you choose to have professionals pack and unpack your items, this will add to your overall costs.</li>
<li><strong>Storage Needs</strong>: Should you require temporary storage solutions during your move, this will also influence your total expenses.</li>
<li><strong>Special Handling</strong>: Items like pianos, antiques, or artwork may need special care and thus can increase the cost.</li>
<li><strong>Season and Time</strong>: The time of year, week, and even the day can impact the moving rates in Tampa.</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<h3>Average Costs for Different Types of Moves in Tampa</h3>
<h4>Local Moves within Tampa</h4>
<p>On average, local moves within Tampa can range from $250 to $1,500, depending on the factors mentioned above.</p>
<h4><a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/long-distance-movers-tampa-fl.html">Long-Distance Moves to or from Tampa</a></h4>
<p>For longer relocations, you can expect costs to range from $2,000 to $7,000+. The variance in price is substantial due to the distance, the weight of belongings, and other additional services you might need.</p>
<h4>International Relocations</h4>
<p>For those looking to move from Tampa to an international destination, costs can begin at $5,000 and can escalate based on destination, shipment volume, and other logistical considerations.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Seasonal Variations in Moving Costs</h3>
<h4>Summer Surge</h4>
<p>Summer, especially between May and August, is peak moving season in Tampa. As such, you might witness a surge in prices due to increased demand.</p>
<h4>Winter Discounts</h4>
<p>Conversely, the winter months may offer more competitive rates, as the demand for moving services tends to diminish.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Special Handling: A Closer Look</h3>
<p>For unique items that require special attention:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pianos</strong>: $200 to $1,000+</li>
<li><strong>Artwork</strong>: Varies widely based on size, value, and fragility.</li>
<li><strong>Antiques</strong>: Costs can fluctuate based on the item’s size, weight, and value.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3>Tips for a Cost-Effective Move in Tampa</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Plan Ahead</strong>: Lock in favorable rates by booking your move well in advance.</li>
<li><strong>Downsize</strong>: Consider selling or donating items you no longer need. This reduces the volume of items and thus the cost.</li>
<li><strong>Gather Multiple Quotes</strong>: Ensure you get a competitive rate by comparing quotes from various moving companies.</li>
<li><strong>Consider DIY Options</strong>: If feasible, consider a DIY move or packing to save on costs.</li>
<li><strong>Stay Insured</strong>: Ensure your belongings are covered during transit to avoid unforeseen costs related to damage or loss.</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Moving to or from Tampa can be an exciting venture. By staying informed about the potential costs and planning meticulously, you can ensure a smooth, hassle-free transition to your new abode. We hope this comprehensive guide provides you with the clarity needed to budget effectively for your big move. Safe travels!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Packing is an essential part of the moving process that can either make or break the success of your move. Smart and effective packing will not only help you protect and transport your household belongings, but will also save you a lot of time and energy when it comes to moving in. Rushing and cutting corners may save you time in the short-run, however, it often also leads to additional stress and mishaps when settling into your new home. So, this month’s blog will discuss the most common mistakes to avoid when packing!</p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="text-align: justify;" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>1) Procrastination </strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although there are several things involved with moving, packing your belongings should be at the top of your priority list. You may feel as though you have plenty of time until moving day, however, time flies and moving day will come sooner than you think. So, don’t put off packing your things – it will only lead to stress and scrambling as you get closer to the big day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We recommend beginning your packing process at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance of your moving date. This will give you ample time to organize your belongings, get the supplies you need, and pack everything into their dedicated boxes and spaces. Start with a few hours a day, along with the rooms and items that you use the least. That way, you’ll have your rarely used items packed and put away first, and the belongings you use most frequently available until you’re ready to pack them away. Try to pack up as much as you can and only leave out the items that are needed for your daily routine!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-8616 size-large aligncenter" src="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-640x640.png" alt="packing mistakes" width="640" height="640" srcset="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-640x640.png 640w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-300x300.png 300w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-100x100.png 100w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-1-1024x819-1-140x140.png 140w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="text-align: justify;" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>2) Packing Without A Purpose</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make is packing without a purpose. When it comes to packing, planning is everything and winging it will only result in disorganized chaos. Below are some general <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/packing-tips/">packing tips</a> that will help you stay organized throughout the entire process:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Create To-Do Lists:</strong> complete with dates to work toward. For example – pack up the basement from days 1-4, the garage from days 4-5, dedicate a full day or two to each bedroom, and so on.</li>
<li><strong>Label Each Box By Room and Its Contents: </strong>that way, you’ll know exactly which box belongs in which room/space when moving into your new home.</li>
<li><strong>Pack Like Items Together: </strong>such as clothing, so when it comes to unpacking, you’ll be able to put together your entire closet with just a few boxes. The same goes for kitchen supplies such as pots and pans, utensils, and dishes.</li>
<li><strong>Pack Effectively: </strong>start by packing each box with a layer of padding (packing paper, plastic wrap, newspaper) and place the heaviest items at the bottom and the most fragile items at the top. Also, make sure to individually wrap fragile items with a few layers of packing paper to keep them safe and protected.</li>
<li><strong>Pack an Essentials Box: </strong>with must-have items such as electronics, important documents, toothbrushes, and a change of clothes that you’ll keep with you in your car.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="text-align: justify;" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>3) Low Supply Stock</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There’s no such thing as too many packing supplies. In fact, the more the better! Before you begin packing, make sure you have all the supplies you need including:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Small, Medium, and Large Boxes</li>
<li>Wardrobe Boxes and Sturdy China Boxes</li>
<li>Packing Materials – Packing Paper, Air Bubble Wrapping, and Plastic Wrap</li>
<li>Quality Packing Tape, Labels, and Permanent Markers</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make sure to buy lots of supplies, trust us, you’ll thank yourself later. One of the most irritating things that can happen is being on a roll with packing your belongings and suddenly running out of supplies and having to stop to head out and buy more. So, purchase in bulk and you’ll be all set for the entire packing process!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-8617 size-large aligncenter" src="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-640x640.png" alt="packing tips" width="640" height="640" srcset="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-640x640.png 640w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-300x300.png 300w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-150x150.png 150w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-100x100.png 100w, https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Blog-Images-2-1024x819-1-140x140.png 140w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" style="text-align: justify;" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>4) Saying No to Help</strong></h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important moving tasks is selecting and gathering your moving supplies. And in many cases, you’ll be faced with the question of “paper or plastic?” When it comes to boxes as well as when it comes to box stuffing to protect your belongings.

<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>Packing Paper</strong></h3>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">What is it?<img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-8598 alignright" src="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/RazorbackMoving_JulyBlogImage-03-300x150-1.jpg" alt="packing paper" width="300" height="150" /></h4>
<p>Simply put, packing paper is, well, paper. But not just ordinary paper you’d find in your printer or notebook at home. Packing paper is unique because it’s much softer and thicker than regular paper. When compared to ordinary paper, it’ll also “ball up” or crumple rather than fold and crease. This is one of the main reasons it can be used for packing whereas ordinary paper cannot. Packing paper is often tan or beige and typically comes in much larger sheets than a standard 8.5″x11″ piece of paper.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">Advantages</h4>
<p>Despite being a very simple material, there’s a reason that packing paper has remained as one of the most popular and common box stuffers. This is because it offers movers many different advantages that simply can’t be rivalled by anything else.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Soft:</strong> Unlike ordinary paper, packing paper is exceptionally soft and gentle. This makes it perfect for using on items you might be worried about scratching. Things like fine china, electronics and other delicate items are all excellent examples of when to use packing paper.</li>
<li><strong>Can Be Tightly-Wrapped: </strong>Because packing paper is extremely thin, it makes it possible to wrap it tightly around any item you wish to protect. It easily follows the contours of any item with little effort needed on your end and can be secured in place with a bit of tape.</li>
<li><strong>Takes Up Minimal Space: </strong>Thanks to its minimal thickness and its ability to be tightly-wrapped, packing paper also takes up much less space in boxes than other packing material. This should go a long way in minimizing the number of boxes you need and possibly save you some money along the way.</li>
<li><strong>Durable: </strong>As thin as we said packing paper is, it’s also extremely durable. One single sheet of packing paper is much more durable than ordinary paper or even newspaper (an alternative many people tend to choose), and when you combine multiple sheets of packing paper on top of one another, you can very effectively protect fragile items— all while keeping weight and size down.</li>
<li><strong>Clean: </strong>Unlike newspaper, which as we mentioned many people tend to choose as an alternative to packing paper, packing paper is very clean. Where newspaper is much more likely to smudge items and transfer ink, packing paper will leave no evidence that it was ever there.</li>
<li><strong>Environment-Friendly: </strong>When compared to its plastic counterpart, packing paper is 100 times more environmentally friendly. This is because clean packing paper is 100% recyclable and also biodegradable.</li>
<li><strong>Cost-Effective: </strong>Thanks to many of its advantages above, packing paper is also quite cost-effective. Its increased durability means it can be reused, its minimal thickness means you’ll require fewer boxes and truck space, and thanks to its cleanliness, you’ll also never have to replace an item that was wrapped in packing paper due to dirt or ink transfer.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>Air Bubble Packing</strong></h3>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">What is it?<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-8599 alignright" src="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/RazorbackMoving_JulyBlogImage-02-300x150-1.jpg" alt="bubble wrap" width="300" height="150" /></h4>
<p>Unlike packing paper, the name air bubble packing doesn’t provide as clear of a mental image. But bear with us. The easiest way to picture air bubble packing is to think of it as a plastic sheet that has many raised dimples across it. These dimples can range in size from small, fingernail-sized dimples to much more substantial, golf ball sized dimples. The latter being filled with more air, making them taller and more protective than the smaller variety. Air bubble packing is often purchased in rolls, but in some instances, you may find it available in large sheets, envelopes and many other sizes.</p>
<h4 data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px"></h4>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">Advantages</h4>
<p>After the lengthy list of benefits packing paper provides above, you’re probably wondering what advantages are left for air bubble packing. But don’t worry, air bubble packing has its long list of benefits. Check them out below!</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ultimate Protection: </strong>Thanks almost entirely to its air-filled “dimples”, air bubble packing provides an unmatched level of protection. This makes it the best choice for protecting anything delicate, including fine china, artwork, mirrors, electronics and anything else you want to guarantee makes it to its destination in the same state it left in.</li>
<li><strong>Conformable: </strong>Air bubble packing is also extremely conformable. It’ll bend to match any shape, but in some cases may require some experimentation to maximize this characteristic. This is because when you fold air bubble packing with the dimples on the inside (closest to your item), they can often contact each other (most common with larger air bubble packing)— limiting its ability to be tightly conformed to smaller items. But flip your piece of air bubble packing inside out (so the dimples are on the outside), and you’ll have no problem wrapping air bubble packing tight to even the smallest of items. And don’t worry, just because the dimples aren’t touching your item, they’ll still provide excellent protection.</li>
<li><strong>Incredibly Sturdy: </strong>When you think of plastic, many of us probably think of plastic grocery bags. You know, those thin bags that most often have holes in them? But when it comes to the plastic of air bubble packing, it’s anything but thin. Air bubble packing is made of a rather thick plastic which makes it very tough to rip or poke holes through. This makes it very sturdy and durable.</li>
<li><strong>Versatile: </strong>As we mentioned above, air bubble packing comes in all different shapes and sizes. From large rolls and individual sheets to envelopes and bags, there’s an air bubble packing option to protect almost anything imaginable.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight: </strong>When you combine air and plastic, you not only get the best protection, you also get it in an extremely lightweight package. This helps keep the weight of boxes to a minimum, allowing you to pack more in each and reduce the total number of boxes you need for your move.</li>
<li><strong>Reusable: </strong>Due to its increased durability, air bubble packing can often be reused time and time again. So while it may not be recyclable like packing paper, it does its part in attempting to stay out of landfills.</li>
<li><strong>Fun: </strong>And last but not least, air bubble packing is downright fun. Nobody knows why, but there’s just something about the pop of each air-filled dimple that can keep all ages entertained.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="20" data-lineheight="29px"><strong>When To Choose Each Option</strong></h3>
<p>As we mentioned above, there is a time and situation for both packing paper and air bubble packing. If you’re looking to pack your boxes like a pro, then you have to use both. But with that being said, there are certain situations and instances when one is better than the other. Use the list below as a cheat sheet when it comes to deciding whether to use air bubble packing or packing paper.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">1. Use Packing Paper as Your First Layer of Protection</h4>
<p>Due to its delicate nature, packing paper is perfect as the first line of protection for almost all items.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">2. Use Packing Paper to Fill Empty Space in Boxes</h4>
<p>Like we said above, packing paper is very easy to bend and crumple up. This is why we suggest using it to fill small voids in boxes. Believe it or not, a lot of damage caused by moving is caused by boxes not being completely full. The items inside have too much space to move, and more often than not, something ends up getting damaged. Use packing paper to stop all object from moving inside the box without overfilling the box with too much weight and risking the bottom tearing open.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">3. Use Packing Paper to Separate Dishes In Boxes</h4>
<p>Dishes are one of the easiest items to pack— they stack easily, and you can also stack different sized items on top of each other. But that doesn’t mean that they’ll be protected. When packing dishes, we suggest using a sheet of packing paper to separate each plate or bowl. This will ensure nothing gets scratched or chipped, but won’t make it any more difficult to pack these items.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">4. Use Air Bubble Packing as Your Second Layer of Protection</h4>
<p>In some cases, air bubble packing can stick to and leave marks on materials like glass, that’s why we recommend you use it as a second layer of protection— after your packing paper, of course. Simply wrap the item in packing paper to ensure it doesn’t get scratched or marked up and then wrap it in air bubble packing to ensure it’s protected from cracks and chips. Use packing paper and air bubble packing as your ultimate one-two moving punch. When you use one, you should always try and use the other.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">5. Use Air Bubble Packing to Pad the Bottom of Boxes Before packing Them</h4>
<p>When packing boxes, many people forget to pad the bottom. This leaves the bottom item extremely vulnerable, and if the rest of the box isn’t packed correctly, it could send that shock energy up through the rest of the contents. Before packing any box, you should place a single layer of air bubble packing on the bottom. This will protect the bottom contents without taking up too much space.</p>
<h4 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="18" data-lineheight="27.36px">6. Use Air Bubble Packing to Fill Large Empty Spaces in Boxes</h4>
<p>And last but not least, for boxes that may only have one or two heavier items in them and a lot of space, use air bubble packing to fill these voids rather than packing paper. Often, larger voids will require too much packing paper to fill whereas they may only need a small amount of air bubble packing.</p>
<p>As you can see, the <a href="https://www.razorbackmoving.com/tampa-packing-services.html">packing paper vs. air bubble packing</a> debate isn’t as cut and dry as you may have thought.
