The Do's and Don'ts of Moving

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.
