If
you are about to move, then chances are you are already running around the
place as you want to make sure that everything is in order when moving day
arrives. You have to guarantee yourself (and your family) that everything has
been taken care of. You have to make sure that you have everything you need to
bring on the trip to your new home and you won't feel shocked and be left in
disarray as you might realize that you might have left something in your old
home.
Leaving
something inside your old home may even be the least of your worries. There are
lots of things that need to be taken care of when you are about to move. The
mortgage applications, all the packing, going to postal services to file a
change of permanent address, and enrolling the kids to the new school. Hence,
it is easy to become very overwhelmed by the many tasks that need to be done.
THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF MOVING AS TOLD BY GOLAN'S MOVERS
One
of the reasons why many movers panic over the upcoming move is because they
just go about things arbitrarily. In other words, they do their tasks but leave
a lot of things to chance.
Read
on to know what to do, and what not to do, when you are about to move.
DO hire professional movers
One
of the most hassle-free solutions to packing and moving is to hire the expert
assistance of a professional moving company, like Golan's Moving and Storage, right from the get-go. This way,
you have the right time to take care of other things (i.e. mortgage, change of
address, etc.).
DO sell unwanted stuff
The
more things you pack, the more it adds to the overall weight for the shipment,
which means the costs for the delivery becomes higher. Furthermore, you can't
possibly bring that box inside your garage that you have no idea what's inside
and has been sitting in there for ages. If you find something that may be of
value to others, sell it. The extra cash can even help you for your relocating
expenditures.
DON'T hire fly-by-night moving companies
If
you are going to hire a moving company, make sure that they have all the
licenses for them to operate legally. You do not want them to run off with your
hard-earned cash while giving you less than satisfactory services.
DON'T pack everything
Bring
all your essentials for the upcoming trip. A change of clothes, your medicines,
and toiletries just to name a few. Put these all in a bag that is accessible
and within reach at all times.
