I helped him pack his “Survival kit”. It included a mix of clothes, his favorite electric razor, his computer, tablet and e-book reader, an incredible amount of different chargers, a french press for his morning coffee, and tons of toilet paper.
After thinking that we’d have to postpone our move indefinitely, we found a service that required no contact with movers or trucks, not even a visit to the packing supplies store.
Create a move-day Trünk with essentials for the first 24 hours in your new home. Set aside a few outfits, a set of dishes, towels and sheets for your first few days. Include a first aid kit and a flashlight or night light as well. This way, you’ll have what you need at your fingertips...
Trünk domestic and international micromoves are a perfect match for unaccompanied baggage moves. This 2,000 pounds is part of your weight limit, but you normally use unaccompanied baggage to include clothing, electronics, etc. that you do not want to haul with you when you travel. The unaccompanied baggage can be delivered separately when you report to your new station and before you find a new house.
Trünk is awesome, I get more than two large suitcases worth of my things in there, they get picked up, show up a few days later and I have been using one of them as an entertainment system for my laptop when I am streaming videos on my off time. So far, I have used them three times now and in-between assignments, they store better than luggage because they fold down flat.
