Reducing stress
To reduce the stress around the move, we have made for you a nice list of essential to remember. This will help you to have a much more relaxed move, which may even result in an increase of productivity.
Before the move
A few weeks before the move, you should gradually start up any food that will be difficult or impractical to take with you. You should also make sure that you have all of the necessary cleaning supplies you will need leading up to the move. If you are missing any, make sure that you purchase them as soon as possible.
Garbage
If you do not do this you may find yourself in trouble. Be sure to find out exactly where and how you should leave any garbage that you still have on the day of your move.
Prepare for packing in advance
You should start collecting newspapers in advance for wrapping, purchase durable tape, obtain your packing material of choice, buy a utility knife, and procure enough boxes.
Do not forget to also buy markers to mark the contents of the boxes. Do not have overlap between the catagories labelled on the boxes. Rather than settling for supplies that may not be up to standard, you should instead contact a company that supplies cardboard boxes and packing supplies.
Book a moving company early on
Order the moving company as early as possible, but only after you have made a list of all the things that are being transported. Assume that a serious company will not give a final quote without sending a representative to check your belongings, the building, the access roads, the parking lot and any other things that are relevant to the price of the move. Especially during peak moving season, you should start getting quotes for your move at least 3-4 weeks before the moving date.
Keep details of storage companies
In case you need to vacate your home before the new one is ready, you can use a storage company to store everything before it is moved to the new home.
Avoid transporting your belongings yourself
You may be surprised by just how much you own. The money you plan to save by doing the transport yourself may prove insignificant after considering the day off you will have to take from work, the fuel expenses of traveling back and forth between the homes and the strained back you will have the next day.
Moving in
If you are moving to a building that has an elevator, you should contact the building manager before the day of the move and check that the elevator is working properly. This can save you time and money by preventing unexpected issues.
You should ask the tenants who replace you or one of the neighbours to keep any mail addressed to you that is sent to the old home. Also, give them your phone number so that they can contact you about collecting it.
