Many people make common mistakes when they are planning their move. In this article you will find some general moving tips and tricks that will help make your moving process a lot less nerve-racking and maybe actually enjoyable.
Begin early! Start creating a checklist of all the things you will need to do at least a month before. Prepare a list with phone numbers of utilities, phone service, cable, internet service provider, and etc. Make sure to visit the US Post Office and get a change of address form and fill up all the information that you have.
New moving boxes, made especially for moving and storage, recommended to be used. Get your boxes and moving supplies at least a month in advance because you should pack consistently in the weeks going up to your big day. Always get more than you think you, because it’s always more than you think. If you buy the supplies and boxes from the local moving company who will be transporting your belongings, it is simple to return unused ones on the day of the move and deduct it from your final bill. Get some quality packaging tape and lots of it.
In a hurry to get everything done on time, many people end up in a mad dash to get everything packed, and don’t decently take care of fragile items. Moving requires a lot of stacking, even when handled by professional movers. Packing properly claims more time but drastically cuts back the number of things that will get damaged. Not packing breakable items precisely can leave damaged or ruined items.
Another big problem with first-time movers that they hire the wrong moving company, generally looking for the cheapest moving rates they can find. Moving scams are common, and many times the the consumers receive an exceptionally low moving quote, but the company will hold your possessions hostage on their moving truck until you pay much more money than your original quote showed.
By having everything appropriately packed and marked, you will be quickening your moving day which will save you money on your move. If you simply follow these tips, your moving day will be quite a bit less nerve-wracking; and if you hire a good, legitimate moving company who is fully licensed and insured, then you will not have any problems with your move.
