Moving to a new city or even a new country is not always stressful. Especially if you plan it right. Queens Movers believes that proper planning is the key to a hassle-free (or minimally hassle-free!) move.
The first thing to remember is that a move should be planned in advance. We know that this is not always possible, and sometimes life makes its own adjustments. However, it is ideal to plan your move at least a month in advance. This will allow you to
- Have enough time to find a moving company;
- Choose a convenient date and time for your move, since the last few days may be busy;
- Have time to pack all your belongings, organize your home, and get rid of unnecessary items.
The busiest time for moving companies is the summer. This is when families move the most, during vacations and children’s holidays. So, if you dream of a stress-free and budget-friendly move, we recommend that you choose the off-season or winter. This way, there will be more available dates and moving companies will have lower prices for their services.
Perfect Moving Day Timing
It’s not a good idea to pack on the last day. So all your things should be packed and the main things related to the move should be done in advance. On the actual day of the move, allow time for adequate rest, normal morning routines, and a delicious breakfast. This will help you feel less stressed and more comfortable. For those moving across the country, arranging car transport can ensure your vehicle is safely delivered to your new location, saving you time and effort.
And also, importantly:
- Agree on the time of arrival of the movers or the moving company. It is advisable to plan the move for hours when traffic is not too busy. This way you will spend less time on the road.
- Agree on the time of departure from the old flat and the time of arrival at the new one.
- Make a list of all the things you are taking with you and count the number of boxes. This is necessary to make sure you have not forgotten anything at the new location.
- Prepare a box of essentials. In one box, you should prepare the essentials that you may need immediately after moving. This includes personal belongings, documents, toiletries, etc. It’s convenient to have everything you need with you at all times.
According to Maxi Moving, it is very important to plan the day of the move well and allow enough time for it. This way you can avoid rushing and unnecessary stress.
When you arrive at your new home, resist the urge to unpack everything at once. Start with the essentials, such as the kitchen and bedrooms, to make your new space livable as soon as possible. Unpack one room at a time and take breaks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. As you unpack, start organizing each room to make the most of your new home.
Finally, remember to update your address with the post office, your bank, and other important institutions. Notify friends, family, and subscriptions of your move. Take care of any local registrations or licenses if you’ve moved to a new city.
