What to Pack First When Moving

Packing for a move and not sure where to start?

Don't worry, we've all been there. Standing in the middle of a mess thinking maybe I’ll just set the whole house on fire and walk away.

So here’s what you should pack first, so your move doesn’t turn into chaos.

Begin with things you don’t use every day. Seasonal clothes, books, decorations, or that waffle maker you used once in 2019. Pack it up.

Next, go through guest rooms, the garage, and storage areas. Anything you can live without for a few weeks should go first.

Starting with daily essentials is like playing Jenga from the bottom. And we both know how that ends.

Pack smart, stay calm, and please label your boxes. Unless you enjoy unpacking mysteries like, is this kitchen stuff or my cat?

Still feeling lost? Let "iBox Moving" handle it for you. Follow us for real-world moving tips that actually help.

FAQ

Are You Licensed answered by iBox Moving experts

Is iBox Moving a Licensed Moving Company? – FAQ

Are You a Licensed Moving Company?

Yes — iBox Moving is fully licensed and insured to operate both locally in Los Angeles and for long-distance moves within California and beyond. We take compliance seriously to ensure your move is protected at every step.

What Licenses Do You Hold?

  • CAL-T License: Required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for household goods movers.
  • USDOT Number: Issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation for interstate authority.

Why Does Licensing Matter?

Working with a licensed mover protects you from fraud, damage, and liability. It also ensures the company follows safety, insurance, and transportation regulations. Unlicensed movers may offer low prices — but the risks are high.

Are You Insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and cargo insurance to protect your belongings during transit. If you need proof of insurance, we’re happy to provide a certificate.

How Can I Verify Your License?

You can check our CAL-T number with the California Public Utilities Commission or our USDOT number on the official FMCSA website. We’re transparent — just ask, and we’ll show you.

Moving Tips & Guides

Storage Tips explained in our moving guide

Storage Tips: Step-by-Step Moving Guide

Why Storage Matters During a Move

Whether you’re downsizing, in between homes, or just need extra space, proper storage can protect your belongings and make moving smoother.

1. Choose the Right Type of Storage

Decide between short-term and long-term storage. For valuables, consider climate-controlled units to avoid damage from heat or moisture.

2. Label Everything

Use waterproof labels and list contents on each box. Number your boxes and keep a reference list, so you can find things later without digging.

3. Use Strong Packing Materials

Choose sturdy boxes, plastic bins, and secure wrapping like bubble wrap or furniture blankets. Avoid using trash bags — they tear easily and don’t stack.

4. Maximize Vertical Space

Place heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter ones on top. Stack to the ceiling, but leave walkways for access. Shelving can be a game changer.

5. Protect Sensitive Items

Wrap electronics, wooden furniture, and artwork carefully. Avoid plastic wrap on leather or wood — it can trap moisture and cause damage.

6. Leave Room for Airflow

Don’t pack everything wall-to-wall. Leave space between stacks and walls to allow ventilation and prevent mold buildup.
