Tips From TheRelocation Experts
> Boxes are your friend. Try and put as many things in
boxes as possible. This will make loading, unloading, and
transportation much easier.
>
Wrap all breakable items in non colored paper or wrapping.
Newspaper and other print may bleed on to your belongings.
>
Make a list of the contents of each box that you pack and
attach them to the box. This will save you vast amounts of
time in the long run.
>
Use more smaller boxes than few larger boxes. It is much easier
to make a second trip than try and maneuver a overly heavy
box.
>
Secure your boxes with strong tape. The last thing you want
to happen is a box breaking during a move.
>
Use garment bags. You can move a entire closet with a few
garment bags and not have to worry about wrinkles or unwanted
spots. Folding them in a box or taking them loose can be a
big hastle.
> Know exactly where each of your items are going to be
placed, especially furniture, before you move them. Changing
your mind after you get there will just give you extra work.
>
Make a checklist for what you have to do prior to moving before
you start. (change of address, setting up phones, turning
on electricity/gas,etc)
>
Leave the difficult to move items to professionals. Why over
exert yourself with the possibility that you might not be
able to finish the task or damage your items.
>
Make sure you use a hand truck whenever possible, this will
save lots of time and energy.
>
Only trust reputable moving professionals. Saving a few dollars
to have your neighbors kids move your belongings might cost
you a lot more in the long run. Have it done right the first
time.
