Hate movings? Here's a few tips to make it easier

Hello everyone. I just came out from a 4 month moving and had to deal with 2 lazy movers who made it even worse than it usually is.
So , my first advise is :

make sure you hire good movers for your moving.
Second advice : make sure the movers you've hired will respect the time schedule you have agreed on together. Third and last advice : don't let movers take advantage of you and decide how to pack things. Most movers believe they know better than you the value of your dearest objects. But let's go into depth on movings , just so you know what to expect.

A move is a real work: there are many things to coordinate, and have to remember many details, such as bills or transfer of the paperwork for the change of residence. What I would like to do today is to provide you with a comprehensive guide full of helpful tips to better organize your move, and eventually understanding how to deal with a moving company and movers .

Making a moving operation is often difficult, requiring time, money together with bringing so much stress, threatening to make us forget important things such as changing utilities' address. But following a few simple steps, you can make life more comfortable and easy. So here are some tips for a stress-free moving.

Types of movings :

There are several types of moving and not all require the same expenditure of time and money. The moving vary depending on the situation and requires appropriate conditions from time to time, as the various operations that relate to the organization and conduct of a move may be entrusted to a specialized firm or may be dealt directly by the person or can still be divided between him and the specialized moving company.
The most frequent type of moving situations are:

  • student moves to another city for college, moving away from family
  • student who looks for a room out of camp
  • Young people who move away from parents
  • couples wanting to live together
  • a single family moves to another town
  • a single family moves to another apartment ( in the same town)

All the steps to take before, during and after your moving:

PREPARATION: 3 months ago
Begin at least three months before, to draw on paper a complete list of furniture and objects to be moved: this is a task that only those directly affected can play and it seems long and pointless, but in fact this is what will then check that everything it is done correctly; allow two free-standing columns to the left of each object: one to indicate the package in which the object will be put (identified by number), and another one to indicate whether the object will be found intact at the end of everything;

PREPARATION: 1 month before
one month before starting to place into packages all objects that are used less frequently , taking advantage of those completely useless to throw. This is when you should make sure that there are no maintenance works to be carried out in your new house (painting walls, plant to be redone, etc)

PREPARATION: last days
the last days (in case you are having done a do-it-yourself moving ) remove the furniture and perfectly clean the new house

FINALLY: pack all remaining personal objects
