1. Choose the right moving company
Delegating the job to the professionals is the smartest decision for every family who is moving. Packing household items is very stressful. It requires time, effort, and a good amount of energy. If you are struggling with work and at the same time packing, best choose a moving company. Don’t just go for the ones who offer cheap rates. Investigate each company further before you make a decision. Read about them in their websites. Check how many years they are of service, and analyze their offers. Read about them on the Internet and look for some client feedback. It is important to choose a company that is well established, fully insured, and has been known to have done jobs with satisfied clients. Once you have narrowed down your choices and finally got to choose one, book the company immediately and schedule your date.
2. Give every family member a task
Despite having the assistance of a moving company, it is still much better if all of the family members are hands-on. Packing and moving household items requires team effort. One family member can’t do it on his or her own. Give the others a responsibility. Assigned some task to each individual so that the movers will be able to do their job safely and as quickly as possible.
3. Take time to check
The ideal time for you to book a moving company is a week or two before your chosen date of moving. This also depends on what kind of move you are making. Is it just a small or large move? Or is it business or overseas? A lot of companies offer different kinds removals and each has a different time allowance. For example, for local moves, you need to book a week before. For overseas move, you need to book a month before. This is because moving companies tend to get fully-booked so you need to secure your schedule ahead of time. During those time frames, take time to check all the belongings that you need. Since you have a week or a month before they start packing, check your things first. This is the time for you to personally go through some of your stuff and decide if you should still keep it or leave it. Doing this ahead of time keeps your mind at ease and you will not feel pressured.
4. Don’t forget to change your address
It is always right to do this step ahead of time as well. On the actual day of moving, the chances of changing your address to the new one is very little. Since you and your family will be so busy with the move, you won’t have time to change your new address. So do it as early as you can. Make sure you get it all together so that the stuff that will be sent to you in the mail won’t be lost.
5. Leave the place clean
It is important to leave your old house all cleaned. This is a serious matter especially to those who are still on the process of selling their home. A clean house attracts more buyers. So when you move out, make sure you don’t leave it with clutter and garbage. Do complete aftercare so that the place will be neat and clean. This task won’t be so tiring. You have your movers do the packing and loading, so have yourself and your family to do the cleaning. Dividing the roles and responsibility helps because in that manner, the job gets done quickly. Check every corner and see if there are other items you have left behind. Never leave stuff because you think you don’t need it at your new home. If you’re going to leave some items, make sure that the new owner can still use it. If not, then donate it or throw it away yourself.
