When you are faced with a move, it can often seem like the options for moving companies are incredibly broad to choose from, and the options they offer are just as broad. We usually look to our neighbors, family or friends to point us in the right direction for a moving company they have used and trusted, as this type of referral seems on point. But what if your moving needs differ from theirs, you are once again at square one with your options.
Sorting Through Your Moving Needs
Most people don’t have specialty items they require to be moved, but for those who do – finding a moving company that has the equipment and expertise will be a little bit more of a hunt. In addition, finding the right moving company for your specific needs will play a large role in your peace of mind and the safe transfer of your items.
Some specialty moving needs might include:
Not every moving company is created equal, so you will want to be clear on your needs, your moving company’s area of expertise, and the types of services they clearly offer..
Moving Made Easy
Its seems wrong to use the words “moving” and “easy” in the same phrase, but there are ways in which to definitely make your move easier.
Hiring a moving company is the first step in streamlining your move, but we understand that there is still the packing process, as well as the unpacking that comes after it, and all the worry in-between. However, it doesn’t have to be as stressful as one might think. We remember that our last move was co-ordinated with Movers and Cargo Company offering Cargo to Pakistan from Dubai. They were on target to prove their skills and experience.
Breathe
Moving takes time and effort, so understand that the process is not going to be an overnight success. Roll up your sleeves, and try to make it a project that you embrace as a new beginning.
Baby Steps
By packing one room at a time, you can keep your items organized, and feel accomplished as each room gets packed up. This will keep you organized, and will also help you manage your time according to how many days it will take to pack up each room respectively.
Power Down
We have a lot of electronics in this modern age, and being on them at all times has become the norm. But take this time to power down and truly focus on the task at hand will keep you on task, and lessen the stress of being on one gadget or another – whether for business or pleasure.
Also, there is nothing worse than arriving at your new home and having misplaced your power chords. So keep them all together when packing your electronics for an easy find in your new home.
Odd – But Helpful – Moving Tips
Although one might think that moving requires the basics such as: cardboard boxes, newspaper, and a bunch of willing friends to help you move, there are actually some moving secrets we thought we’d let you in on.
There are always clever ideas and ways to do things that can make your move become – dare we say – fun? Or, if nothing else, at least a little more efficient!
What Socks, Shoes and Glasses Have in Common?
Socks and shoes are a great way to pack your stemware. From slipping your glasses into your socks, to putting your breakables into your shoes …playing footsy with your housewares just became a brand new sport worth trying.
Plates – Meet Plastic
Instead of wrapping each plate in newspaper, what about alternating your plates with foam plates instead? Dual purpose, double efficiency.
Sheet Sheath
Sheets make for great furniture protectors, and can be easily washed after a move. Although you wouldn’t want to opt for your 4000-thread count variety, most everyone has an old set of sheets or blankets that can be used effectively for your next move.
Color Coordinate
Instead of labeling each box as per each room, what about spicing things up a bit, or even giving the kids a fun project, by color coordinating your boxes with felt dots or stickers of some kind? It’s a great way to get your kids involved, and create an “at a glance” tracking system.
