• No matter the distance, planning a move can often
  be a stressful and exhaustive activity. The last
  thing you want to do is find yourself packing and
  organizing last minute, giving yourself little
  time to make sure everything is done properly and
  with care.
• Put simply, the more you plan and organize in
  advance, the less strenuous and expensive your
  move will be. We will go over some tips on how to
  specifically not only make your move easy, but
  also how to save money in the long run.

• Organizing your move is important, but the first
  crucial step is choosing a date for moving. The
  time you choose to move can affect the entire
  process. For example, summertime is a popular
  season for moving, leaving you little options for
  movers, trucks and supplies which would be at
  high demand during peak moving season.
• An alternative to summertime moving would be to
  schedule your move during less popular moving
  seasons or while moving sale days are available.
  This way you can benefit from lower rates as well
  as deals and moving specials.

• Lighten your moving load and you will thank
  yourself later. It can be hard to let go of
  items, but it is important to at least de-clutter
  your items by throwing away or donating the
  things youre certain you dont need. On the
  brighter side, starting new is a refreshing
  opportunity as well.
• By purging items and reducing the bulk of your
  move, youre saving money on packing, transport
  and storage. Unnecessary items only cost money,
  time, space and energy to keep around.
• Aside from trash, these unused or neglected items
  can be passed onto a better future by either
  donating, giving away or selling it online for a
  little extra cash.

• Moving larger items require special attention.
  Without proper care, these sensitive items can be
  damaged and/or broken. Not to mention, moving
  heavy items without precaution can invite the
  high risk of injury which would only make your
  moving day more stressful than it needs to be.
• Handle with care. Moving heavier items can damage
  your vehicle during transport, or your new home
  upon carrying it inside. There are many variables
  to be aware of when moving hefty or fragile
  items. To save long-term money on injury or
  repair bills, its a smart choice to hire
  professional and experienced movers.

• For plant owners, moving plants can prove as
  difficult if not more difficult than heavier
  items. Plants are sensitive to their environment.
  Temperature and light are important factors to
  consider, not to mention handling. For
  long-distance moving, plants need special care to
  endure the trip.
• Be sure to reduce the travel time for your plants
  as much as possible by making them the first
  items off the truck. For larger plants, its often
  a smart idea to prune them to a compact size,
  easy for travel and handling. Before moving day,
  remember to hydrate your plants but not so much
  to promote fungus or freezing in extreme weather.

• Making a major move into a new home can be
  confusing for a child. If its the first moving
  experience for the child, it is especially
  important to consider how they feel and to
  nurture a sense of encouragement during the move.
• Supporting your child through a move can bring a
  family closer. Present the positive sides to the
  re-location and allow them to be involved with
  the move where they can. Having your children
  involved with a move can bring excitement and joy
  into this transitional period. Celebrating the
  move with a welcoming or goodbye party can be a
  great idea as well to help ease any stress or
  anxiety after a move.

• Organizing your move is of course the most
  complex step in planning your move. There are a
  lot of easy, cost efficient and extremely helpful
  techniques to use when organizing your items
• Checklists are a fail safe way to ensure you have
  everything you need. At the beginning and end of
  the move.
• Color coding your items by room is a great idea.
  Have your color code on the wall of the room to
  navigate movers as well.
• Clear sandwich bags are a great way to store
  smaller important items like nuts or bolts
  accumulated after the breakdown of your furniture
  or miscellaneous accessories. Be sure to label
  these as well.

• On moving day the best strategy for saving time,
  money and energy is making it as quick and
  painless as possible. There are small adjustments
  you can make in your day to work toward saving
  money and time in the long run. Here are some
  quick tips
• Review your checklist first thing in the day and
  be ready to move. The more prepared you are on
  moving day, the faster and more stress-free your
  day will be.

  reassemble it on your own can save you a lot of
  extra time
