Moving
Tips from the Experts at Out
of State Move
Plan ahead for
your arrival.
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)
Get
Professional Help
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.
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.
Packing
on your own
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.
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.
Secure
your boxes with strong tape. The last thing you want to happen
is a box breaking during a move.
