Moving day is a day often filled with stress. You’re anxious about leaving behind friends and neighbors and heading into uncharted territory. You’re worried about movers who are moving slow and costing you a fortune. You’re also concerned that something might break. Then there is the inevitable “buyer’s remorse” and yes, that applies to renting too! Moving day doesn’t have to be so stressful especially if you follow these helpful guidelines.
When it comes to packing, it if it not furniture put it in a box. Yes, you can cart some of your important things like a computer or stereo in your own car but anything else should be boxed up. Those boxes should also be packed up well in advance of move day. You might think you can put off the last few items while the movers are doing their thing. The truth is movers can go fast and you don’t want to keep them waiting. Also, if you happen to run out of moving material like boxes, tape or packing stuff the movers can provide but it will cost you. All you should be doing on moving day is watching your stuff get loaded up. This holds especially true for your refrigerator. Even if you’re not bringing it with you, you want to make sure it is cleaned out and unplugged long before the movers show up.
Labeling your boxes is crucial. You should definitely designate which room a box belongs in but when you pack up special items like a toaster or coffeemaker you’ll want to know what box those items are in. You should also set aside an “overnight box.” This would be all the things you’ll need for bed like pillows and sheets.
As you get your appliances ready for transport, make sure to tape up the power cords so they aren’t dangling and causing a potential accident. If you have pets or kids they should be watched over somewhere else during the moving process. The temptation is to keep them in sight but things will go a lot smoother if you don’t have to keep an eye on them.
One of the most helpful tips would be to hire a company like Junk King North San Diego to take care of the move before the move. This would be moving out all your junk. You certainly don’t want to start live in a new place by carrying over all the stuff you were going to toss out anyway. Do you really want to pack up junk and take up valuable room on that moving truck? Hiring Junk King lets you get rid of piles of stuff. You can either leave it all behind for Junk King to pick up the day after your move or schedule the removal the week of the move. Either way, being junk free is going to make a huge difference as you settle into your new place.
