Best moving tips from the field you never thought would
make your move this easy!

2. YOUR GOAL IS MOVING!
HIRE A MOVING COMPANY OR MOVE BY OWN FORCES?
01
Moving is often believed to be an uneasy thing and the internet abounds with
tips to facilitate a move. However, these articles tend to review the repeating
facts with little practical significance.
That's why we decided to create these guidelines with tips from the field
based on practical experience to help your moving run smoother and a little
easier.
Conducting a move on your own may involve many issues. You are likely to
bear significant gas expenses to start with as you'll have to make multiple
round-trips, not mentioning chances of getting into a busy traffic. In addition,
you may have hard time moving large items unless you have a van. Handling
everything on your own can cost your a lot of hair pulling on the whole.
In case money is priority and
you have some friends or
members of your family that
can give you a hand, go ahead
and hire a van. But keep in mind
you may hit some troubles
afterwards such as back pain at
the least or even some of your
household appliances
unexpectedly goes out of order
because you'll actually have to
do all the loading job yourself.

3. Providing you still intend to do it on
your own make sure you drill down at
least minimum shipping standards for
certain items or better off consult the
moving company itself.
When you sign a contract with a
moving company note that it must
state such points as final amount of
your move, downtime charge caused
on your part if any, whether you'll
have move specialists in place or not,
insurance and compensation for any
damage to your goods.
You can develop back pain because of the wrong technique of weight lifting
and take to bed for the next few days. Doesn't sound good, does it? As for
professional movers they are specifically trained to do this kind of job and
hand-carry mountains of loads on a daily basis.
SOME APPLIANCES DO REQUIRE SPECIAL
HANDLING
A fridge should be carried vertically as horizontal
position can result in breakage of compressor, its
tubes may fall off and the compressor oil will leak
out. If you fail to stick to this rule you might have to
fork over a new fridge.

4. What is more, your contract may be of two types: binding and non-binding.
A binding contract means you are not paying more than the price in the
estimate whereas in a non-binding one the mover can charge you extra fees if
there are any aggravating factors such as staircase, any large goods. In the
latter case learn if any additional charges may apply to your move.
Ask your moving company in writing if they
are going to subcontract your move to
some other company. In this case your stuff
might get split among a few trucks which
means your goods are likely to arrive
separately and at different times.
If you are not familiar with standard
practices in the delivery industry you might
assume the moving truck with your stuff is
going to drive up to your new place the
very same day or the day after you did
packing.
THAT’S HOW IT WORKS, RIGHT?
NOT REALLY
When you deal with movers they give you a delivery
spread 1 to 7 days or even more depending on the
moving distance, time of year, amount of your goods

5. PACKING MATERIALS AND A SMART WAY TO APPLY THEM
Supermarkets, wine and furniture stores often have clean boxes of perfect size.
That's a good alternative to paid moving kits from moving companies.
You'll also need labels, pens, tapes and a nice roomy space to place all of your
stuff and handle the expedition process.
Instead of buying tons of bubble wrap make use of your old clothes as
padding. Not only does it save your budget but you also tackle a problem of
packing clothes. So it's two birds with one stone.
Do you have some spare socks? It's a good idea to
wrap each piece of your glassware in a sock as
they'll remain sound if they clink against one
another.
Don't you stuff the boxes to the hilt! The weight of a
box shouldn't exceed 66 lbs. but you better keep it
at 44 lbs. It doesn't only regard to the convenience
of loading but as well as to safety of the content.

Take your time to carefully mark and label
each box with your contacts and specifics
of what inside.
Use printed stickers for big and small
boxes to save your operation time.
When moving furniture disassemble any
piece that can be taken apart.
As for drawers they are much lighter when
emptied.

6. THE MOST PRECIOUS LOAD
Apart from keeping valuables and documents by your side while being on the
move you are recommended to pack a personal box for each member of the
family beforehand. The box should contain all necessary toiletry and a couple
of changes of clothes.
Keep these boxes in an easy-to-reach place where they won't get lost among
the rest of the load and so on.
If you travel by car have them in your trunk.
UNLOADING IS CRUCIAL!
Some mistakenly believe moving ends with loading packed goods into trucks.
Don't get it wrong you are just half-way through. First your stuff needs to
arrive sound at the right destination.
There might be several similar names of streets in the same area, district or
town e.g. Smith avenue and Smith boulevard. Imagine your "delight" getting to
know some of your items gone in the opposite direction and now are miles
away from you.

7. HAPPY MOVING!
WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP?
Make sure nothing hampers the movers in the
course of loading thus you need to make way in
the corridors for movers to bring items in
smoothly.
Take measurements of all doorways and in case
they are not high or wide enough call up the
service to have doors and jambs removed until
the movers are done.
Wrap doors and pieces of furniture in all cases
otherwise splits will be unlikely unavoidable.
The best option is to take care of this a few
days ahead.
Now when you are aware of all traps and
pitfalls let's see the next step to a seamless
move...
