If you think stepping out of your comfort space and moving into an unfamiliar town, in a new city in a new building is never ever a moment. But when circumstances put you up in a similar situation, there is not much that you can do! For instance, if you have to relocate to a new place with all your goods and belongings, you need planning, patience and time. And, also you need the packing and moving experts from Agarwal Packers! After all, how can you manage conducting an entire move on your shoulders that has innumerable things to look after? Well, moving to a new city or a new town is not just time-consuming but challenging as well, but this article shares with you what all you need to take care of, in case you are planning one in the upcoming months!
• Come up with a date – Do you think you can plan for your move all of a sudden, without even deciding the date and time? No. Of course, not, so, ahead of getting into any further moving day tasks, sit back and decide a favorable date that is suitable for you and everyone in your family. The schedule of your date and duration would also decide when and how soon you find professional movers for your assignment.
• Formulate a plan – Next up, you should design a moving plan (a tentative one) for your forthcoming move. This plan would have all the details related to your move – from the budget you have decided for the purpose, to the immediate tasks that you will have to fulfill and the quotations that you have collected upon your online research of the reliable packing and moving companies in your region! Once you have ticked off all the major to-do things from your plan, you can create a final moving plan.
• Finalize a mover – Now when you have collected the quotations and price range from at least 4 to 5 moving companies, you need to review the terms and range of services available with them. Make sure the deal you choose has standard rates, and flexible terms. Do not forget to opt for insurance cover for the wellbeing of your belongings in the transit. Have a clear discussion with the moving experts about the timeline of your move, the modes of payment, the charges they will add for your priority packages and specialty items that you are moving and so on. Always choose a company that has a registered website, and has authentic licensing papers.
• Research the new city – Nobody loves moving into a place that gives you strange, unfamiliar vibes. So, once you hire the movers from Agarwal Packers and Movers for your shifting assignment, devote some time in exploring your new city. Just sit back and browse to find the best schools and colleges and basic amenities like hospitals, chemist shops, groceries, stationeries, bus stands, stations, airports, major junctions and interesting spots, office area, and also gather local information – find out the best shopping marts, utility offices, banks, parking lot, and other business area around your new home. This would save you from sudden crisis.
• Prepare your goods – This is time for some pre moving preparations. So, once you have already sorted out the basic travel arrangements – booked the movers, created a moving plan and reserved a date, you should focus on the inventory of your items you have made. Focus on one particular area or space while you are evaluating your goods – you can begin with kitchen and get done with the sorting and piling up the items that you will move. Repeat the same process for your electronics, clothing section, stationery items and books and also thoroughly look over your furniture and fixtures because they are massive and bulky and carrying your entire range of belongings would ultimately multiply your moving cost, and also raise your moving load. So, de-clutter rationally and efficiently – discard anything that seems worthless. Donate or sell out if some of the items are in decent condition and prepare the rest of your goods. You can pack the delicate, high-value items on your own; the rest of your household goods would be tackled by your professional team of packers.
• Fulfill the immediate tasks – Now that you have sorted and prepared your goods for the move, and the professionals have already been notified of our assignment, you should wrap up the essential things/activities at the earliest (before you move out). Send out mails to friends, clients and colleagues about the address change, notify your bank, insurance company and credit card authority to update your new address in their records, and call up your utility service providers for transferring your connections – water, power, cable, internet and gas authorities to reinstate them in your new address ahead of your arrival or else, you will have a tough time figuring out things in the place.
• Take the essentials along – Even if you are planning an interstate move, you should pack a necessities bag or your survival kit for the days in the transit. This bag would be your go-to corner for all the needful items like medicines and prescriptions, toiletries and other utility items. Also, get your document folder ready to be carried along. These are the two highly essential items that you should take along with you. If you have some high value items or even accessories or jewelry, you can seal and put them in this bag. Ideally, you should designate an oversized kit/bag/backpack or suitcase for the purpose as it will hold all your essential items in one place, securely!
