Get a Free Quote for Moving Supplies

Each move is different. Depending on the value of your belongings and how much you need to move, moving supplies may vary. Some of the common items you may need include:

• Packing tape
• Moving boxes
• Bubble wrap
• Markers

If you have more valuable items you’d like to protect, invest in the right specialty boxes to keep your glass, plates, and any other valuable items safe during the move.

You should start requesting quotes from moving companies no later than 2 months before your move, and sooner if you can. By planning far in advance, you get a better idea of available pricing, first pick of moving dates, and less chance of paying last-minute premiums on mover costs.

That said, don’t let an urgent upcoming move keep you from getting a quote. iMOVE finds all available moving services from the date you give us.

Definitely. Even if you’re just moving down the street, you still have to pack, load, and transport your entire household!

Wherever you go, iMOVE provides local, state, and national moving services in your area. And with a shorter travel distance, a local move should help you save on expenses.

Most moving companies will not take your plants. The stress and heat of being inside of the moving trailer usually causes them to die. Many states do not allow the entry of plants while other states will admit plants under certain conditions. There are some states that have no regulations at all. Be sure to understand your state’s regulations prior to moving the plants in your own vehicle.

• Use a calendar to plan what to pack and when. (It takes longer than you might think!)
• Begin with items in storage areas such as the attic — these are often in storage boxes anyway and more or less ready to roll. Next, pack out-of-season items such as winter coats.
• Pack room by room to stay organized and get more done.
• Designate a work area in each room that is packed so you always know where supplies are.
• Sort packed boxes not only by room but by weight to make loading the truck easier.
• Packed cartons should weigh no more than 50 lbs. It’s tempting to stuff more in to maximize space, but you still have to be able to safely lift the box!
