Make a Moving Checklist before you start

Having a moving house checklist is always a good idea to simplify your moving. It is a list of everything that you need to accomplish in the time leading up to the moving day. This includes what needs to happen, who needs to do what, when specific assignments should be started and completed, and when all the major moving will take place. Also, make a list of all of your belongings and go through everything in your old home, so that nothing is left behind.

Get moving boxes and Packing materials early

It’s easy to underestimate what you’ll need, so shopping early for boxes and packing materials. This can also save you big. Look for boxes when stores are unloading stock, or you can buy them from a packing company. Be sure to have enough packing materials on hand such as several rolls of heavy-duty packing tape, two sets of color markers, labels, box-cutter knife, sturdy twine, scissors, bubble wrap. Don’t forget to get special containers for expensive items and waterproof packaging for electronic items.

Take Your Time

Moving is a time-consuming process, mostly because of the time involved in organizing and sorting. Optimally, it would be best if you allowed yourself at least six to eight weeks to prepare for your move. Give yourself enough time to get things done without having to push the schedule. The extra time will allow you to carefully pack up everything in all the rooms and ensures everything gets to your new home in one piece.

Moving Easier: Research

Another great moving tip is the need to research different moving methods and various moving companies so that you can make an informed decision. Choosing the right moving method or company can potentially remove tons of stress from the overall process. If you settle for a moving company, verify the license of the company as all of them are required by law to be licensed and insured. Avoid hiring movers that are not registered.

Don’t Move Everything

Moving offers you an opportunity to declutter. You can get rid of a lot of the junk that’s been lying around or get rid of the clothes that no longer fit or are taking closet space. You can either give them to charity or sell the unwanted stuff at a garage sale. All the junk you manage to get rid of means you will have fewer things to pack, and the lesser your moving bill will be.

Moving does not have to be a stressful and frustrating experience. By planning in detail, not packing at the last minute, and hiring a professional mover, your move will be much more efficient and trouble-free.
