Until you realize that you're going to have to move everything you own to your new place. Moving can seem daunting, but does it really have to be? Here are five steps to pack for a move so you can get back to living your awesome life.

Are you going to move your belongings by yourself or would you rather hire a moving company? This will depend on a number of factors, like your budget, your timeline, and how far you’re moving. If you decide that you're going to be moving your house by yourself you will want to line up a moving truck or trailer. All of our U-Storage locations provide moving equipment so you can simply call today and get a price and advice on what size vehicle you will need! If you decide to hire professionals, remember that you want to find a trusted moving company. Give yourself enough time to research to get quotes until you find the right company that you trust. We can recommend a moving company to you, just call your local U-Storage! START A PACKING LIST Before you start packing, take inventory of all of your stuff.
