Follow These Tips For A Stress-Free Move
UncategorizedSeptember 2, 2015
Most important thing about the move is to chose the right company that will perform the task. One way of doing it is to search through social media, as grant you an insight into their reviews. Just type ‘moving company’ into Facebook search bar and you will see most such businesses in your area with those most popular and using The Marketing Heaven at the top and others stacking up behind them. After having done that, moving day is right around the corner, and you can’t wait to bid farewell to your overstuffed abode for a brand new place. But wait! There’s a lot of work do. It’s time to get packing and finding a place to store all of the items cluttering your home. Packing for a move isn’t always the most enjoyable experience, but we’ve got some tips to help you keep the process stress-free.
De-Clutter The Mess
The time to purge unwanted and unneeded items is not after the big move, it’s before. Take the time to rid yourself (and your home) of excess junk. Pack up those old toys, books and knick-knacks and send them off to a new home.
Pack Up The Stuff You Don’t Need
Next, pack up items that you won’t need for a while. Seasonal clothes and decorations should be packed in boxes that can go in the back of your Zippy Shell storage unit. Pack up extra towels, sheets, blankets, pots, pans and food storage containers. Keep out only what you will need during the transition.
Be Careful With Fragile Items
Packing up your entire home is exhausting, but you don’t want to sacrifice your best china because you tried to get through it quickly. Be sure to do it right by utilizing the right packing and storage supplies. Your Zippy Shell specialist can advise you on the best wrapping and packing materials for your items, especially for packing larger items and extra fragile pieces. We suggest you keep a supply of old towels, sheets and blankets handy for protection padding of furniture in the Shell during transit. This saves on the cost of renting protection blankets.
Label Everything
There is nothing worse than getting to your new home only to discover that you cannot find an important item. The best trick to a stress-free move is labeling every box clearly. Color code boxes by room (e.g., kitchen is red, bedroom is blue). Then tape a list to the outside of each box that clearly describes what is inside. Items you need to get to immediately (like your child’s favorite blanket), should sport a stripe of colored duct tape across the top to make spotting the box even easier. Again, you can color code these stripes by room or individual family member.
