Enter Reddit, the hive-mind of the internet, where folks with moving day-phobia have turned for years to get the best moving tips and moving hacks. We\u2019ve compiled the absolute best moving hacks from Reddit, so whether you\u2019re moving out for the first time or you\u2019re moving to a new city alone, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Reddit\u2019s Best Moving Tips &amp; Moving Hacks<\/b><\/h1>\n<h2><b>Figure Out How Many Moving Boxes You\u2019ll Need Using the Rule of Three<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGo by the rule of three: take a look around your place and estimate how many boxes you\u2019ll need.

Yes, they&#8217;re your friends, and they&#8217;d probably be willing to help and enjoy some pizza and drinks, but nobody likes to be the guy who constantly gets phone calls to use their truck for moving, or use their labor to help. Of course, if times are tough and you&#8217;re counting coins to eat, then yes, call your friends and be sure you repay the favor somehow.
