emmalouise1 I put mine jnto pillow cases and then in large shopping bags when I moved :) was a lot of bags but they survived 3y
hannah-leeloo I don't have that many pillow cases 😬😅 I will have to do that for my delicate sets though thank you @emmalouise1 📚 3y
emmalouise1 @hannah-leeloo what about using t-shirts then it's just something to protect spines and edge's I found when moving :) 3y

hannah-leeloo Thats true! I am really not awake or prepared enough 😅🤣 good idea thank you 😊 @emmalouise1 3y
emmalouise1 @hannah-leeloo your very welcome . My books were the last thing I moved I was to scared to damage them. I hope you have a successful move and settle in nice and quick :) 3y
Cupcake12 Can‘t think of a way but wanted to wish you all the best with the house move ❤️❤️ 3y
hannah-leeloo Thank you so much @Cupcake12 and @emmalouise1 I'll be able to update everyone after the move to say if everything survived 🤞🏻😬🙏🏻😅 3y
DrexEdit It's all about protecting them & making sure they don't shift around in the box in transit. That can damage corners or spine ends. I recommend rigid plastic tubs if you can get them. Stuff the empty space with towels or clothes or bubble wrap so things don't shift. If you use cardboard boxes that are taped closed, make sure you put something (cardboard, thick newspaper, old towel) on top so no one slices into the covers when the box is opened. 3y
hannah-leeloo Thank you @DrexEdit fingers crossed all goes well 3y
Sweetkokoro For lego models you can disassemble them in large pieces you want them as flat as possible and wrap them in cling wrap to hold together, any small fragile pieces remove from the model but include it in the cling wrap to the piece it goes to so it doesn‘t get lost and then add a layer of bubble wrap for extra cushion. And then make sure the boxes you put them have cushion as well. 3y
hannah-leeloo Good idea didn't think of cling wrap thank you @Sweetkokoro 🤗❤ 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I used lots of small boxes since books get heavy. I have some that are less precious than others so I put them in shopping bags or used them on top of others to fill out the box for easy stacking. Good luck! Moving sucks but once you're settled in the new place it feels so nice. 3y
hannah-leeloo Thank you very much @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 😊❤ 3y
Mishu94 Maybe you could put them in a storage box? That‘s what I do 😂😂 3y
hannah-leeloo I've filled 9 boxes so far of just my books and 4 on the kids and that's just one of their book cases 😳😬 @Mishu94 😅🤣 3y

What? You don‘t want me in the bag? Well, too bad, my bag now.

MallenNC So cute! One of my old cats loved to get in shopping bags or gift bags. The two I have now are more partial to boxes. 3y

1. I've moved exactly 20 times.
2. My furthest move was 4,000 miles from Boston to Lucca, Italy.
3. I had 16 boxes of books, plus a stack I put in suitcases.
4. I now have a home & it survived Hurricane Harvey, so I hope to stay put for a while.
5. Yay. I suggest packing the boxes yourself & marking every box with a description of what is in it. Then have movers come to do the actual hauling.

JoScho Wow Boston to Italy! 😊❤️📦 6y

I just moved about 6 weeks ago, so this is fun!! 1) 3 times, this last time we had lived at the place 35 years . 2) From the far West Side of Chicago to the far south east side of Chicago. 3) Maybe about 15 or close to 20, including games and old notebooks and journals 4) I thought the last place was my forever home, lol, we only have a year lease at this place, but hopefully we can stay a lot longer!! 5) Boyfriend rented a UHaul he hurt his back!

JoScho Thanks for playing 😊❤️📦 6y
Mimi28 @JoScho No problem!! 6y

1. Four
2. 31 miles (Closest move was one floor up in the same apartment building!)
3. When we moved last year, I shuttled books in a large box on a cart on about a dozen or more trips up to our current apartment. Packing and then unpacking books within a ten minute span is the pits.
4. Probably will look to buy a condo or house in the next couple of years. 🤞🏻
5. Never had movers but will probably invest in some for the next one. 🤑

JoScho Thanks for playing 😊❤️📦 6y

I want so badly to move right now that I'm even almost envious of your packing. Almost. 😉
1. 6 times as a kid, twice as an adult
2. 2000 miles
3. Last time I moved, there were something like 52 boxes
4. Moving again, I hope. The house we're in atm doesn't work for our family at all.
5. Heck YES.

JoScho Thanks for playing 😊❤️😊 6y

1. 9 as an adult.
2. From Jackson, MS to SLC, UT
3. 10?
4. I really hate moving so I‘d like to stay where I am for a long time. However, if I had the chance to move to the country and not have to commute downtown, I‘d consider moving again.
5. Yay! I‘ve never don‘t it but I‘d love to!
