At Shleppers we know a thing or two about moving safely and efficiently. On an everyday basis we see the things that people forget, but more often than that, the things that people overlook. Moving will take your brain and paint it all over the place, so as a trusted moving company, we’re here to lend a helping hand with this difficult process and clarify a couple of things.
Donate Unused Items
When you’re moving, you’re going to wonder how snails carry their entire homes with them every day. Looking at the number of boxes you have and the amount of stuff that is in your house is going to be overwhelming. The truth is – you don’t need all the stuff you have. If you take a good look at your closet there are probably a handful of clothes that can be donated to a charity, or books that you might want to give to a local library so other people can enjoy them. Instead of trying to transport everything to the new location, you can take this as an opportunity to give back to your community before leaving on your new adventure.
Plan Ahead
People tend to leave packing at the last minute, and although it may work for a week in the Bahamas- it’s not exactly going to cut it for a big move. We suggest creating a checklist for yourself that you use as a reference when you’re organizing your luggage. Also, try to take note of what you don’t use but instead are just sitting in your home collecting dust. This can be a great way to also weed out items that are not necessary to bring along with you.
A Gentle Hand
When you finally determine what should be packed and what should be given away, you also need to make sure that you’re keeping extra care of those delicate items. The family heirlooms or the appliances that are too expensive to replace. Investing the right amount of money towards caring for the packaging of these items will be worth it in the long run when you don’t have to replace them. We suggest using a moving company that will guarantee their safety throughout the entire duration of your travels, however, it all boils down to how you pack them. Use good boxes, bubble wrap, old blankets, towels, laundry bags, or anything around your house that can help pad the boxes, and don’t forget about labeling them fragile!
Travel Safety
Not only is it important for you to stay safe during your travels, but your items need some security as well. We may be a little biased in recommending a moving company, however, we also suggest a storage unit so you can move in your items on your own timetable. That way, you can properly organize them and keep them safe. This will allow you to move in when you are ready instead of rushing everything into a house before getting settled.
Enjoy the Moments
Moving can be stressful and very intimidating, however, it’s still a journey, nonetheless. This is an experience that you’re not going to get very often in your life. It’s a chance to start anew and create a fresh start for yourself and your family. Take pictures on the road and invest in a scrapbook. When you’re traveling properly you shouldn’t have to worry too much, instead focus on enjoying this time.
