PODS® Phoenix Offers 7 Key Packing Hacks and Tips for the Unorganized College Student

PHOENIX - Aug. 30, 2018 - PRLog -- As summer ends and back to school looms large, students are preparing themselves for an organized and easy move. Although the stress of moving back to school is inevitable, choosing PODS® Phoenix can provide moving and storage relief with their affordable and convenient short term options, long term options and moving supplies.

PODS® Phoenix, a moving and storage company, provides helpful packing hacks and tips to make moving quick and easy:

•Tip #1: Combine and consolidate. Start by separating essentials versus the non-essentials. College dorms and apartments are small, so weed out unnecessary items and use a PODS container to store unessential items at a PODS Secure Storage Center.

•Tip #2: Use trash bags to pack your closet. PODS boxes and moving equipment will help get a majority of the work done – but small spaces in-between boxes can be challenging. Use trash bags to store delicate clothing that can be wedged between PODS boxes.

•Tip #3: Pack a bag of essentials for a day or two. Moving can be exhausting, so try packing an overnight bag for the first few days of your college move to avoid digging through boxes in search of clothes.

•Tip #4: Roll your clothes, don't fold your clothes. Roll t-shirts, jeans and sweatshirts to save space. Use PODS moving boxes for easy handling.

•Tip #5: Cotton balls save makeup. If you are packing compact powder and cosmetics that tend to break during travel, try preventing them from cracking by placing a cotton ball or pad inside the product.

•Tip #6: Packing liquids? Use plastic wrap. If you are afraid of packing liquids in PODS moving boxes, don't fear. Try taking off the lid, placing a square of plastic wrap or PODS plastic wrap above the hole, and screwing the lid back on.

•Tip #7: Relax. After all the packing is done, let PODS make the moving process easier by doing the driving for you. Avoid the hassle of driving and enjoy the beginning of a successful and adventurous new school year, stress-free.
"Whether a student is in their first year or final year of college, PODS can help move their belongings safely to campus," said Mike Smith, Vice President of Operations for PODS® Phoenix. "Students and their families can have peace of mind that if they were prepared or procrastinated, PODS can securely store additional belongings in a PODS Secure Storage Center throughout the school year."
