If you’re somebody who dreads even thinking about household shifting, for instance, from Chennai to Bangalore, and the innumerable stages it involves from planning to packing and sorting and organizing in between, we hope this blog post would help you tackle several of those issues. The entire relocation assignment might appear to be intimidating, no matter how closely or far you are traveling, but if you make the right choices, there is nothing you can’t do!
Of course, you may want to make sure that you have efficiently planned for the moving process. Not only do you need to make sure that everything is in order from a packing perspective, but you need to ensure that you have the relevant documents and policies to hand when it comes to moving into your new home. For example, along with home warranty policies, that you can get from somewhere like First American Home Warranty (https://homewarranty.firstam.com/homeowner/home-warranty/tennessee) to protect most or all of the appliances in your home should they break, buying the relevant insurance is also important and is essential if you want to live in your home with peace of mind.
Once this has been done, you have the ability to wholeheartedly enjoy your house moving journey, without any surprising loopholes, provided that you have the proficient packing team from somewhere like Agarwal Packers already booked!
And with that, we get to the main section of this article. Here, we are going to share with you the top 10 often missed-out things that we tend to forget during the packing day process and so, the movie does not remain the same. So, let’s check out the tips below:
• Do a deep clean of your new home
While most people cannot do that for the distance issue, some feel a deep house clean-up could be conducted only when they have relocated to the new city. But, since in this case you are moving only a shorter distance, that could be covered in few hours, you can easily visit your new home with the needful supplies so you can do a deep clean of the new home and can set up the basics in place so you can move in comfortably the next time you finally move in!
• Gather all your packing items online
Let’s begin with the basic packing materials – from cardboard boxes, plastic bags, bubble wraps, moving blankets, corrugated sheets, plastic wraps, packing paper, name labels, permanent markers, paper boxes, plastic boxes, packing tapes, specialty boxes, wrapping paper, foam sheets, scissors, permanent markers, etc. must be there with you before you begin with the packing task. You can either order them from an online marketplace or get them delivered from a utility store.
• Have plentiful of plastic bags handy
Of all the useful packing items that are there, plastic bags or clear plastic bins play key roles in packing. You can keep as many things as you want to and can easily figure out everything that you have kept within. Another great thing about these multipurpose bags is you can use them as a container (bag) or use them as an additional layer of protection (covering) to your belongings.
• Secure the toiletries and cosmetics
When you are packing your stuff, make sure to safeguard the risk-prone items ahead of the other things. This means you should pack your toiletries, cleaning supplies, bottles of disinfectants, and other liquids using quality plastic wraps. Put multiple layers of the same to your toiletries so there is no spillage during the transit jerk and disturbances. Your cosmetics must also be shielded well before they are packed.
• Protect all high-value house items
Whether it is about your fragile wine collection or your mementos and sculptures or any other prized possession at your household – you must ensure maximum protection to them while they are being packed for the move. Use an ample amount of first-rate packing materials including bubble wraps, plastic wraps, packing paper, corrugated paper, foam blankets, packing peanuts, etc. to wrap every single item in your lot, before they are being shipped by the experts of Agarwal Packers and Movers.
• Pack smart, save time and efforts
Have you thought about how creative packing is the key to a comfortable move? No? Well, then you must do that at least for some section of your household packing! For drawers, portable cupboards, and shelves, we advise you to pack them as they are without emptying the things within! In such a case, the wardrobes and cabinets would work as a storage space/a moving carton, but with comparatively less packing hassle.
• Time to giveaway excessive stuff
Moving with unnecessary stuff is both an insensible and irrational thing. So, look over all the items you have in your household that do not serve any purpose. Old, outdated furniture and fittings, broken toys, cracked bowls and plates, and unwanted clothes and linen – should be given away without another thought. Items in pretty decent and workable condition could be considered for a backyard sale or donation purposes.
• Design a fantastic moving inventory
You could prepare it right in the beginning or when you have sorted your belongings and decided on the final list of items to be moved to your new home. Your inventory must involve everything – from the name of the item to the estimated cost of the same so you can have a clear mind as to how much evaluation you can expect if the object goes missing or gets damaged.
• Ensure all boxes are labeled right
You might still not be entirely convinced with the idea of labeling and think it to be time-consuming, but that is where you need to think again. Labeling makes your job simple and sorted. It saves money both when you are checking each of your boxes before loading and also when you are getting your cartons unloaded at the destination. So, make sure all your moving boxes are accurately labeled.
• Hire a professional moving team
Now, last but not the least, you must not miscalculate the importance of hiring professionals. Whether you are moving locally or long-distance, to make a quick and convenient move, you must have professionals with you. So, research the relevant deals that fit into your moving budget and hire a team that addresses your moving requirements. Read the agreement thoroughly ahead of accepting the plan.
