Tips And Tricks For Packing, Moving And Storage

Posted on: 10 January 2020

Moving your household is one of the more stressful events you will experience in your life. When you move, it is necessary to manage your old and new place and arrange for management of the logistical details to get all your items from one place to another. Here are some tips to help you make the best of your move experience and get it completed efficiently and easily.

Make a Moving List

Before you even begin packing the first box, make a list of all the tasks needed to handle your move so that you don't forget to tackle any important steps. Make a list of items, such as cleaning your old residence, packing up a moving bag for your important items and documents, arranging a place for your pets to stay during your physical move, and switching over utilities for your new home. 

When you have a checklist of items to complete for your move, it can also help you feel less stressed because it will help you remember even the smallest details. And with a checklist, you can itemize each list by completion date. For example, if you can start packing up non-essential items a month before your move, you can plan to start this task weeks before your actual move.

Calculate Your Move Timeline

Not all household moves happen within the same city or state. Many moves occur from one state to another and often from one country to another, which can add some time to the overall moving timeline. For this reason, it is essential that you take into consideration how long moving your household possessions will take so you can plan for the time between moving out of your old place and into your new place.

When you are moving to another state and using a professional moving company, find out how long it will take to deliver your household items to your new place. This can often be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the length of the move and the logistics to deliver it there. For example, if you are moving across the country, your moving company will likely have one or more households to relocate along with your possessions, which helps reduce your moving costs.

Your moving company is working on getting you the most efficient and low-cost move, which can be dependent on using their resources and delivery trucks in the best manner. So, be patient with the arrival of your household goods and plan to take a bag with your essentials or stay with friends or family during the move until your move is completed.
