2. Here are 16 things to do before the movers arrive to help your relocation be as smooth and cost
effective as possible:
Moving your home is not as easy as
hiring a moving company and
"expert" everything is done.
No matter how well the moving
company will take some steps you
need to take so that the movers can
do their job properly.
3. Sort and Get
Rid of Stuff
Before You
Move
The upside of moving is that it forces you to clean out
the house by getting rid of unwanted and unnecessary
belongings. Before you move, it is a good idea to sort
through your things so that you do not stop moving stuff
that you do not need and have never used.
4. Pack your items and label your moving
boxes
A truck full of identical boxes is a nightmare at the other end, so take our advice
and mark your moving boxes well. Your professional movers know where things
are going and you have to keep your sanity intact.
As your package travels far and wide, it is inevitably subject to shocks. Stop your
objects damaging each other by wrapping each item separately in bubble wrap
and keeping your fragile items right in the middle of the package.
5. Clean your home and dust
your furniture
When it's time to move, it's also time to
clean up. Not only should you clean the
place you are leaving, but you should
also clean your new home. Moving into
a new and clean home is a great
feeling.
6. Collect all your little valuables,
jewelry, etc. and move them
yourself
Even before hiring a moving company, it is very important to
collect all jewelry, cash, small electronics, and other valuable
items and place them in a safe place and move them yourself.
7. Clear Pathways Inside The Home
. One of the first things that movers will do
when they show up is to start adding and
protecting your home. Make sure you
have given enough space for movers to
pick up your things from home. Also,
make sure that your stairs are clear and
free of objects that are in the way.
8. Plan where the
moving truck will park
Make sure you have planned where the moving
truck will park. Move all vehicles that may be on the
road or in the garage.
9. The last thing you want is children or animals running around in the way of the movers. This is very
insecure for everyone involved in the move. Make sure you have set up a babysitting or pet sitter for the
day of moving.
Hire babysitters and pet sitters on a
moving day
10. Take pictures and take an inventory of all your items
Nowadays, it is very easy to quickly take
some pictures of your items and their
conditions before moving. If you do, you will
be sure that you actually had that item or
that there was no damage before the move.
It is also a good idea to take pictures of your
electronic components such as your TV and
cable so that you can put everything
together in your new home.
11. Create Boxes For “Last Load Items”
These types of boxes are the everyday boxes that you may need access
to. Whatever you feel you need access to, but do not have enough space
to move around in your own car, create a special area for these items in
your home and tell your movers Melbourne.
These items are usually for your first night. Here are some popular things
to put in this box: Toiletries, Shower curtain, Towels, First aid kit, Toilet
paper, Cleaners, Dish Soap & Sponge, Dish Towels, Garbage bags,
Portable tool kit, etc.
12. Disconnect your appliances
and unplug the refrigerator
Make sure either you or a professional disconnects these items
before the movers show up.
13. .
.
Discard hazardous
materials
Movers do not move
hazardous materials.
Make sure you dispose of
hazardous materials you
no longer need or can not
move to your new
location.
14. Know The Weather
In any case, if there’s going to be some weather
on moving day, make sure you have handy
enough towels and blankets to protect your
flooring.
15. Be Present On
Moving Day
Being present on moving day will
help everything go smoothly when
the movers have any questions for
you.
16. Know where
everything is going in
the new home and
clearly communicate
to the mover
If you really want to be organized and make the
move go smoothly, you can create a simple
floor plan of the new home and place all the
furniture in the drawing. You can then make
copies and distribute them to the moving
company.
Movers may still have questions about certain
objects, but the floor plan gives them an idea of
the obvious ones such as the sofa, dining table,
etc.
