While many people bemoan the stress involved with moving, truly, it can be an exciting prospect. You’ve got a brand new home to look forward to. Out with the old and in with the new. It’s a chance to get r id of all the old stuff that you never really liked or used anyway, taking with you only the items that made the cut. Do yourself a favor, though; don’t use ratty old trash bags to make the move. Follow the below tips to make the move as smooth and easy as possible.
- Use boxes not bags. While it’s optimal to fork over some cash for brand new boxes that have never been used, it’s not a bad idea to check Craig’s List or other sites for boxes other’s have used and no longer need. Grocery store and liquer store boxes are fine to use, but they’re often in odd sizes and can be difficult to pack.
- Mark your boxes clearly. Invest in a couple of thick markers and don’t just say KITCHEN on it, but clearly put pots and pans or fine china on them. This gives the Apartment Movers a good idea where the boxes should be placed in the moving truck and what should be placed on top of them.
- Invest in real movers, rather than relying on your friends. While they’ll promise you they’ll show up, the truth of the matter is, the second something better comes along, they’re going to understandably abandon you. Apartment Movers, on the other hand, are professionals, having done this type of move time and time again. They know exactly how to pack the truck in the most efficient way possible and get it done in the quickest amount of time.
- Have everything packed the day before the movers come. Don’t still be packing things when the movers arrive. You’ll kick yourself if you do. Instead, allow the day to be stress-free by putting all your personal things in your car and leaving the hard/heavy items to the professionals.
Allow the professionals to make your day easier. Work the costs into your budget and you’ll never once regret it. Give a call to a company like ASAP Movers and talk to them about available dates. You can connect with them on Facebook for further updates!
