Long distance moving does not necessarily need to be complex or stressful. When proper preparations are done and with the aid of a professional moving service provider, a long distance relocation process can be done easily and effectively.
Preparing for your long distance relocation can and will make all the difference.
Here are a few tips that will help you with your preparations.
Following an Organized Schedule
Because long distance moving involves many stages, creating an organized task list will help you to make sure you will be properly prepared for your moving day.
- Create a ‘to do list’ that includes arranging paperwork, contacting movers and packing.
- Your list should include a detailed, room by room inventory list.
- Once you have an organized list, you will need to divide the work to manageable daily tasks.
- Don’t forget to order boxes in advance so you can pack a little bit every day.
- Avoid postponing packing to the last minute. Packing for a long distance move is time consuming, dividing it into daily manageable tasks will help you to avoid a situation in which you will need to rush things or not be properly prepared on the moving day.
Contacting Moving Service Providers and Getting Estimates
Unless you need to perform a last minute move, the recommendation is to contact potential movers at least five to eight weeks in advance.
This will give you enough time to properly check the reputation of the service providers you are considering and compare estimates.
Make sure that you are dealing with actual, licensed movers and not with broker companies that will simply offer your details to other service providers.
Also, make sure that the company you are dealing with has enough experience performing long distance moving. A good way to check is to request references from customers who have done similar long distance moves.
