When you have to pack and move your home from one city to another require, a little bit of planning and proper scheduling of activities can make lots of difference in home shifting. Proper planning and scheduling ensure you move safely and smoothly. There will be tons of items, some of them will be very important and some of them not that important and few of them could get damaged quite easily during loading, unloading or transpiration. I am going to share a few tips that will help you plan and schedule your move.
Planning and Scheduling
Planning as I said is very important and you should have a clear idea of what are the goods you will be taking with you and what items are not required.
Fix a tentative date for your move, because rest of the planning has to be done accordingly. Ideally, you should have two or three weeks time in your hand and if you have more time, then that’s even better.
Whether to do it yourself or Hire a Moving company?
You may like to do all packing, loading, unloading etc by yourself or hire a professional Packers and Movers company to help in you in packing and moving.
If you want to do it yourself, then you have to further plan and schedule dates for packing, buying packaging materials, hiring trucks and labors etc. But if you hire a Packers and Movers company, then they will take care of everything for you.
Other important things to do
No matter if you are doing it yourself or hiring a moving company, there are a few other things that is universal like:
- Cancel all subscriptions of periodicals e.g. newspapers, magazines etc or get your address updated
- Make sure to pay all your bills and dues for local supplies if any
- Sell or donate old items like clothes, old furniture, toys etc
- Check all windows and doors are properly closed before moving
- Check and switch off all lights, fans etc in all your rooms before you leave
- Leave a message on the main door of your old home with your new address
