Do you have to move and aren’t sure where to begin? A lot of times moving can be a nightmare, but if you’re organized it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips and ideas on how to make your move easier:
Plan in advance:
If you’re looking to have your move professionally done, then one of the first things you should do is contact a moving company and reserve your date. You should do this a few weeks in advance. Sometimes you might need to have an onsite quote so calling last minute is not a good idea, especially if you must be out of your house by a certain date. Start by calling around to get ideas of pricing. We recommend choosing our services, whether it is packing, loading or full service move Affordable Moving Services LLC takes great care of you.

Organize:
Once you have called to schedule a moving date, start to get organized. Figure out what you don’t need. You would be surprised to see all the things that you might not need any longer. You can make a few piles of things you don’t need any longer:
- Things to Donate
- Things to Throw Away
- Things to Sell
How can you figure out what you need and don’t need anymore?
Ask yourself, when was the last time I used this? Does it hold any sentimental value?
Once you have gotten rid of the items you no longer need to make a checklist of the things you must do, for example:
- If you’re packing, how many boxes do you need?
- Are there large items that need special moving? Such as safes, or pool tables?
- Send change of address notifications to your service providers
- Take measurements of your furniture and the space in your new home.
- Separate your valuables, and other items that you will be taking.
- Defrost and disconnect all appliances, closer to your moving date.
The day of your move:
- When you prepare for your move separate the things you’re taking with you, whether it is fragile items, valuables, or your personal items.
- Give your movers a tour of your house and any specific instructions.
- In your new house also give them a tour of the house and let them know where you want your furniture and belongings placed so it will be easier for you when unpacking.
