Top Tips To Make Your Move Easier

We all know that moving can be a stressful time, however, there are several things that you can do to make your move a smooth one.  If you know that you're moving ahead of time, it's a good idea to start packing as early as possible.  Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and, unless you have to be out in a hurry, it's better to take your time and remember every little detail now than to find yourself with the moving blues later.

A Little Goes A Long Way

If at all possible, pace yourself when packing.  It's better to pack a little at a time and make sure that nothing is forgotten than to hurry and try to get everything done within a day or two. 

Utilities

It's easy to forget to have your address changed, the landline disconnected, internet, water and/or cable service changed, so take the time to make sure every little detail is ironed out now so that you can enjoy your new home later.

Create A Packing List

It will help you to remember things much easier by writing them down on paper as they come to mind.  A packing list can act as a shopping list, which will remind you of the things that you need to remember.

Pack Lightly

Moving day is hard enough, so don't make it any worse by loading down your arms with too much weight.  If you pack lightly, it may cost you a little more footwork, but your body will thank you at the end of the day.

Pack Smart

Because of their design, boxes are easier to carry and provide an effective way to keep everything stored safely in its place.  Rather than just piling everything into the car or van and hoping for the best, take the time to pack everything carefully (especially breakables) inside cardboard boxes with bubble wrap.  What will not fit, such as items of furniture and other household essentials, should always be tied down when they are put into the removals van.  Furniture pads are also a good idea to prevent damage during the move.  Make sure you label each box with the contents of each box along with the room it will go into.  This will make unpacking more efficient and save you loads of time.
