Planning Your Move to Hialeah: Packing and Preparation Tips

Whether you are moving to Hialeah or away from the city, a move is a big undertaking. From finding a new place to live to packing all of your belongings, a move can be as stressful as it is exciting. At US Storage Centers, we know that you are hoping for your move to go as smoothly as possible, which is why we have Hialeah storage units just for you! We have also compiled this packing and preparing to-do list to help you along the way.

Decide What You’re Keeping / Getting Rid of

Assuming that you have already found your new place, you should begin sifting through your personal items about six weeks before your move (this will give you plenty of time to make final decisions, and rent a moving truck and storage unit based on what you decide to keep). Depending on where you’re moving and whether or not you’re downsizing, you may need to make some tough decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of. As recommended by tidying expert Marie Kondo , keep those items that bring you joy and say goodbye to the rest. Remember, however, that when you rent a personal storage unit, you can keep personal items that are important to you, even if they won’t fit in your new home.

Renting Your Moving Truck and Storage Unit

Now is the time to get reservations in order, including reserving a moving truck and a storage unit. Compare both company types, keeping price, customer service and company reputation, and size of trucks/units in mind.

Depending on your circumstances, you may need a large storage unit to store the contents of your home in the midst of your move; this is a common situation for homeowners who sell their current home but are not yet able to move into their new home.

You may also want a storage unit if you are downsizing, i.e. moving from a two-bedroom to a one bedroom. You should consult with our storage professionals to get an idea of exactly how much room you will need, view units, and make a reservation as soon as possible.

Start Packing

Don’t wait until the last minute to start packing; instead, begin the process about three weeks out. This way, you know that you will have plenty of time to get everything in its proper box before moving day. If you need moving supplies, including boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, mattress covers, and the like, these items can be purchased directly from US Storage Centers’ Hialeah facility.

Review and Finalize

Finally, one to two weeks before the big day, review all of your moving plans. Are items packed? Do you have a moving truck rented? Have you seen your personal storage facility and made your reservation? Of course, there are a number of other non-packing related tasks to handle, like making sure your utilities and internet are set to turn off once you’re gone.
