Helpful Tips for Easy Moving

It’s not easy, looking around your room trying to figure out how to pack everything. Since you are moving, it is inevitable things need to be packed; you have called your moving company for a free estimate, and even got a coupon! The movers are to come soon. But in what order? Where to begin?
Don’t worry; here are some helpful tips.

1. Categorize.
For example, in a box, put all the small kitchen appliances. Pack clothes by season (summer clothes, spring clothes, etc.) and person (mom, dad, etc.). It will help you track your packing status. Moreover, it will be much easier for everyone when the boxes need to be unpacked. If possible, it’s good to keep the clothes in drawer. Make sure to tape the drawers so they won’t slip out. As for big kitchen appliances, it’s good to clean them and pull the plugs out. It will be helpful to the movers.

2. Number and name your boxes.
After packing your summer clothes, write on the box, “summer clothes” and your name. When you and your boxes arrive at the new place, you will know which box has what. Also, don’t forget to mark “fragile” in case glasses and other shock-sensitive items are packed so your movers will know. Make a list of all the boxes; it will help you to check if everything have arrived safely afterwards.

3. Do not part with really important things.
It is always better to be careful. Make sure to put legal documents such as a passport, birth certificate, bank documents in a folder and carry them with you. There are lots of things being moved; some things need to stick by you so they don’t get lost during the hectic process. Same principle applies to other valuable items such as your jewelry.

4. Be careful.
Check the credentials; Cheap Movers Berkeley is both insured and licensed. On your moving day, do not let your pets run around- either keep them with you or at a fixed place. It will prevent any unnecessary accidents from happening. If you have small children, always keep your watch. It’s good to have a babysitter in your neighborhood to be with your children while things are being moved.

It is important to pack efficiently as well as to unpack efficiently. With a little planning and record-keeping, you can make your moving experience much lighter. Let’s keep things simple, and keep the headaches away.
