Anyone that has moved before knows that there is a lot involved. Sometimes moving day can seem like a circus if you haven’t made the proper preparations. As long as you are fully prepared, there is no reason you should have a chaotic day when the move gets here. Prodigy Moving & Storage is here to share some mistakes that you will want to avoid if you are getting ready to move to a new place.
When Moving, Don’t Take on Too Much Yourself
Trying to handle too much on your own can make your moving day more difficult than it needs to be. You should enlist the help of your family members and friends to help you as much as possible. You should definitely rely on the help of a professional moving company to make your move a smooth one.
Don’t Procrastinate Packing & Moving
When it comes to moving, there are several things that you need to be accomplishing throughout the process. There are certain things that can’t be done until the last minute, but you can be checking things off the list as you go along during the last several weeks. You may have to make special arrangements for different objects, terminate utility services and hook up services at your new place, forward your mail, register for new schools and so on. You shouldn’t save all of these items until the day you move.
Make a Moving Plan for Your Pets & Children
If you have pets and/or kids, you need to make arrangements for them on moving day. They can get underfoot and cause chaos. This is something that can’t be saved until the last day. You need to look into boarding options and babysitting options far before your moving day is here.
Avoid Poor Communication Between Yourself & the Moving Company
Sometimes that are situations and circumstances that require a change in plans. When this comes up, you need to be communicating these changes with your moving company. Poor communication with the moving company you have hired to take care of your move is going to lead to confusion and a greater chance that things won’t go smoothly. It’s a good idea to check in with your moving company as it gets closer to make sure you are all on the same page.
Do Not Fail to Read the Paperwork Given to You from Your Moving Company
Whenever you hire a moving company to help with your move, you will be given paperwork that gives a detailed report of what they charge and how they plan to charge you. You can’t be upset about some of the charges there if you haven’t read the contract in the first place. Read it as soon as it is given to you to make sure you agree with the way they run their business and your move.
