Moving Day Survival Kit
16 items

Joe Taormina
I'm a Realtor AND a dad of 6 — I've moved families and been moved. This is the kit I wish every client had.
Uniform boxes stack. Random liquor-store boxes don't.
Heavy-Duty Moving Boxes Variety Pack
You will run out. Buy double now.
Packing Tape with Dispenser, Multi-Pack
Save your floors and your friendships.
Furniture Sliders
Grandma's hutch arrives intact or not at all.
Moving Blankets
Every box labeled by room = unpacking sanity.
Color-Coded Moving Labels
Allen keys and a drill driver pay for themselves day one.
Furniture Assembly Tool Kit
Drawers stay shut, cords stay with devices.
Stretch Wrap Roll
One in every room on unpack day.
Box Cutter Multi-Pack
Your back's best friend. Rent or buy, just have one.
Hand Truck / Dolly
Clean the empty house BEFORE the furniture lands.
All-Purpose Cleaning Spray + Paper Towels
Keep the mattress clean through the truck, the garage and the stairs.
Mattress Moving Bags
Strap it down once and stop worrying about the dresser sliding.
Furniture Pads / Moving Straps
One caddy, every spray and rag, carried room to room on move-in day.
Cleaning Caddy
Forward the mail before you move a single box.
USPS Change of Address
Free — one box: sheets, towels, chargers, coffee, toilet paper. Thank me later.
The First-Night Box
Full disclosure: my team. Buying or selling in Iowa, we make moving day boring — in the good way.
