Two people may perform similar moves in the same area and at the same time, one will tell you that he had a wonderful experience and that all went smoothly with his move, while the other one will tell you that he had an uncomfortable and stressful experience.
What makes the difference? Why was one move a success and the other one a disaster? Assuming both men used a reputable and reliable moving company, the answer will have a lot to do with the preparations that were conducted for the move.
The two key elements for experiencing a stress free and successful move are packing and inventorying. Let’s take a look at how they can help you.
Inventorying for your Move
Why is inventorying important? Because when you go room by room and prepare a list of all the items that you are taking with you, all the items that you are considering to leave behind and all the items that need packing, you have your move plan.
When you communicate a careful inventory to your movers, you will be able to receive a detailed and accurate estimate that will also cover your packing needs.
Packing for your Move
If you’ve decided to pack yourself, you must come up with a detailed plan and begin a few weeks in advance.
- Make sure that you order packing materials in advance. Check with your Alpha Moving and Storage relocation expert if a box delivery to your house can be arranged.
- Write down all the items that need to be packed and create a task schedule.
- Work with your schedule, start early and pack a little bit each and every day so you will be ready for the moving day.
- Use only new and professional packing materials and try to avoid used or torn boxes.
