Moving Tips
01
Donate, sell, or dump
Donate, sell, or dump any unwanted items before the move. Moving is a great excuse to purge, and you do not want to pay us for moving thing you no longer needed.
02
Parking permits
Schedule your move on the same day as street cleaning to avoid buying SFMTA parking permits.
03
Labeling
Painters tape and post it notes work great for labeling. If you have multiple drop-offs, or thing that do not need to be moved, make sure it's clearly marked.
04
Elevator/loading dock
Contact your building's management if the elevator or loading dock needs to be reserved. They may also require a deposit and/or certificate of insurance.

Packing paper
Pack breakables with packing paper, not bubble wrap. It's way faster and much cheaper.
03
Organize and Label
Organize and Label your boxes with the final room you want them to be in.
04
Long and loose objects
Bundle long and loose objects together with tape (brooms, mops, curtain rods, etc.)
