How to Safely Move Your Belongings

  • How many times have you wondered how to safely
    move your belongings from point A to point B? In
    this guide, youll learn everything you need to
    know about hiring movers, packing your
    belongings, and the best way to insure yourself
    against damage during the process. By following
    these easy steps, you can rest assured that your
    move will be as smooth as possible!

What To Do Before the Move
  • Before hiring a moving company, you must get an
    estimate in writing. If possible, ask friends and
    family members if they have any recommendations
    online reviews can also be helpful. Some things
    to consider hidden fees, insurance for damage,
    and theft. Be sure to read over your final
    contract before signing anything you should know
    exactly what is included in your quoted price and
    be given a clear explanation of what is not
    included (e.g., fuel surcharges). Also, take
    photos of everything before you move
    itespecially high-value items like artwork or
    computers. You should keep these in a safe place
    because many moving companies dont cover these
    kinds of valuables unless they are explicitly
    listed in your written agreement. Make sure to
    include them on your inventory list.
  • Another pro tip stay calm! Moving day is going
    to go much more smoothly when everyone involved
    has a level head about how much work needs to be
    done. Dont underestimate yourself by saying its
    just my stuff every item that goes into boxes
    and gets moved onto a truck will require some
    amount of physical labor on your part, as well as
    some degree of emotional attachment. And finally,
    pack light!

What To Do During the Move
  • Here are a few things you can do during your move
    to make sure that everything arrives safely.
  • 1- Using a moving company If youre considering
    hiring a moving company, dont just call anyone.
    You want to hire someone who has been around for
    a while, especially if youre going cross-country
    or internationallylesser companies may not have
    experience in moving valuable goods across state
    lines or country borders. Since you likely dont
    want your stuff sitting in storage while they
    figure out whether they want to pay movers, be
    sure that any reputable company has their trucks
    and employees before hiring them.
  • 2- Dont use lockboxes Lockboxes should only be
    used if you think it makes sense for your move
    otherwise, leaving a key hidden somewhere might
    be considered an accident waiting to happen by
    prospective buyers or tenants. Leave a door
    unlocked instead itll allow buyers/tenants
    access to see whats inside without costing you
    thousands of dollars on top of moving costs when
    something goes missing.

  • 3- Make plans with friends/family beforehand
    Moving is stressful enough without having to deal
    with locksmiths on top of everything else that
    comes with moving. Make sure youve arranged for
    someone to be able to get into your old place if
    necessary or make sure you can get into your new
    one before starting packing. If things go awry
    and you end up being locked out, a trusted friend
    or family member should know where you stashed an
    extra key (or other means of access).
  • 4- Dont forget about moving day It might sound
    like common sense, but many moving accidents
    occur due simply to inattention and forgetting
    whats going on. If you have any major moving
    plans for a specific datemoving into a new place
    or starting a cross-country movedont leave it
    up to chance. Keep your calendar free of
    appointments and plan around moving days instead.
  • 5- Be patient The best way to ensure that your
    possessions arrive at their destination safely is
    by staying calm, cool, and collected during your
    move. If you feel yourself becoming stressed out
    at any point along the way (and especially while
    moving), take some time off from packing or
    unpacking and do something else instead after
    all, saving money through DIY is just as much
    about managing your time as it is managing your
    budget.

What To Do After the Move
  • When youre moving across town or an ocean, there
    are a lot of unknownswhere exactly will your
    stuff go? What should you do with it all once it
    arrives? How soon can you start living in your
    new place? Thats why smart people work with a
    moving company. When looking for professional
    movers in Phoenix, AZ, they want to know that
    their possessions are going to be taken care of,
    and so they ask questions like What should I do
    with my stuff while my apartment is being painted
    and remodeled? Will my valuables be covered if
    something goes wrong during transit? Is there
    anything I can put in storage until I figure out
    whats next for me? Smart homeowners learn from
    companies like Poindexter Moving Company.
