Seeing you land up on this blog post makes it evident that you are struggling hard to organize your coming house move. Is that so? Well, believe us, yours is not a new story! Everyone out there conducting a house move is facing it. So, for your upcoming Kolkata to Delhi relocation, speak to the packers and movers in Kolkata, and comfort yourself with the following tips!
Your first conversation with the moving team would take place over the phone and based on that, they will come over to your address to conduct the goods survey. Although different moving companies have different ways of operations the process of pre-move evaluation of goods is a must as it gives you a fair idea of the estimated cost you may need to pay.
Once you are done with that, you should take note of the points we have shared below. Focused on the different areas/aspects of the move, these pointers will let you prepare for the big change without any hassle.
1. Check every area to empty: It is only when there is a house move taking place that we decide to give our homes a deep clean-up. We look around to spot things that we would not need in our new house and then set them aside to focus on what is important. So, whether it is a pile of old books, piles of small, worn-out clothes, outdated utensils, or furniture, redundant things should be discharged.
2. Start with the place you are in: House moving is a hassle and everything that it involves has some degree of risk and headache. To begin with the process, we would advise you to start with the place or room you are in. Do not go anywhere else. Start with the packing task of your household from the room you use the most or you are in because you will be comfortable managing your own space first.
3. Keep aside days for cleaning: What most of us tend to do is focus on the packing task rather than all the other things that we should do instead. For example, we must first go through our entire household to analyze its status – like - to have an idea of the number of days the packing would need, and what all things would be sent off for disposal, donation, or considered for sale. So, think through all that and keep ample time in hand.
4. Progress from small to big: To optimize your household packing task, you should pay attention to the time you are devoting to the job and to the goods that you are handling. The ideal way to process the packing task is by progressing from simple tasks to tricky ones. Things that are easy to handle should be dealt with first, followed by the ones that are challenging because, for the latter, you will anyway have professionals to assist you.
5. Consider swapping items: Many families that conduct relocations often think of repurchasing their furniture, appliances, and other items because they do not feel like moving the current ones (that are in old, obsolete condition) to be shifted to their new homes. Or at times, they consider revamping their space (new space) and starting afresh with newly bought items and for that, they de-clutter the house entirely and get the things again in the new house. If you too want to revamp your new space and give it a break from the monotonous look (like the current one), do discard all the old-fashioned, damaged things from your house before you move out.
6. Indulge in therapeutic tasks: At some point, we do feel that we need a break from all this chaos and that is not just for the pre-move phase (when we are prepping for the move) but also for the post-move time. In that case, diverting yourself to some other activities and indulging in things that can be fruitful and therapeutic at the same time is a good option.
7. Prepare important papers: To ensure that your move goes on smoothly, you should keep the important evidence, IDs, documents, and papers with you. Have your car insurance, house insurance, car titles, birth and marriage certificates, health documents, travel insurance, school, college, and office documents, employment papers, etc. with you, in a compact folder so that everything remains safe until the day time you reach your new house.
8. Pack your luggage bags: Besides the moving boxes that will be prepared and moved, there would some things that would be better if packed in luggage bags. These would be the items that you would want to keep with you at all times during the move. You can make use of your suitcases, duffel bags, carry-on luggage, roller bags, etc. to pack your essentials, clothes, stationery, utility items, etc.
9. Sync with a plan and lists: Even if you have not put together a plan for the move or somehow did not look into the checklists you prepared for the same, we would advise you to go through it once so you can figure out if everything is going on the right track and there is no loophole or disturbance along the course. In the end, all things should be worked out as planned.
10. Oversee goods protection: The packing quality of your belongings would depend on how the packing task has been conducted. If the professionals do it, you can rest easier but if you choose to do it yourself, you will have to be extra careful. Make sure the boxes used for the purpose is sturdy, wrapping materials are protective enough and the techniques implemented are secure and seamless. Double-check how the boxes are being packed and see if they are labeled.
If you feel planning of a house move is the most dreaded thing in the world, we can bet you would not feel the same again if you check out the tips shared above. Also, the movers and packers in Kolkata will be worthwhile and wonderful in every way!
