Getting Ready for the Move

There is so much to do in preparation for a move: setting up mail forwarding, changing over utilities, and acquiring moving supplies, and so on. The move itself is really the easy part as you’ll spend most of your time packing and unpacking. If you want everything else to go as smoothly as possible, you’ll need to prepare well. It’s a time-consuming and a detailed process, but it’ll ultimately make your move significantly simpler and less stressful.

·         Moving supplies. Make sure you have a permanent black marker. Mark all boxes so you can easily find your items once you move into your new home. You also need to purchase packing tapes and a dispenser. You’ll have many boxes to fill and close and you’ll want this process to be as simple as possible. Moving supplies such as paper pads and other wrapping items is a huge help in keeping your items in good condition even after the long travel; it serves as the shock absorber, protection, and a seal.

·         Moving boxes. Aside from the packing and moving supplies, your moving boxes are the most important items on the list. However, there are some instances when you are able to cut costs on buying boxes by using some of the containers as boxes. Moving boxes come in a variety of sizes and you’ll need a variety of sizes to pack all of your items. Make sure you select the right box for the right item. Putting all handy items in smaller or specifically a file box will ease up your search for documents in emergency cases.

·         Moving supplies shops. There are a lot of places to buy moving supplies, but boxes and tape can add up to quite a bit of money. You can avoid this additional cost by hitting up one of quite a few places handing out free boxes or those that sell moving supplies at a cheaper price. An average retailer may be able to provide you with some cheaper items and you’ll be able to find a greater range of items as well

If you get down to the wire and need help with packing and moving, enlist friends, neighbors, relatives or colleagues to lend a hand.
