December 17, 2008 · Posted in Moving Tips · Comment 

Let’s admit it, no matter how hard moving guides have been working for the neophyte movers out there, moving is really a very tedious job.

It may sound plain simple at first but once you get yourself all involved and busy with it already you may realize that you are really wrong when you said that moving is as easy as 1-2-3.

So, here in movingguide.net, we understand that your life does not revolve solely on all the complexities of moving. We know that you have so much better things to do than bother yourself in trying to figure out the tricks of the moving trade.

So as not to have you read lengthy blog posts on moving we summarized our moving tips into five and here goes:

The earlier the better. It is really better to plan your move as early as two months. Planning it little by little and understanding each option as you take all the time you need relieves you of the stress to make rash decisions in, say hiring a moving company and all sorts of things. We wouldn’t want any regrets in this right?

Be cautious. Always keep a suspecting eye on everyone. Find time to check on everything and never ever rely on the internet for anything. Sure, internet has given us as much advantages than we could ever imagine but the same medium also gives crooks as much advantage on us. Call the office, visit them if you must, demand for an in house estimate, be privy on all the agreements that you are about to sign and others.

Don’t move unnecessary items. Most people who are moving wanted to start their lives anew and don’t you think this is a perfect time too for you to get rid of those unnecessary things? Don’t bring them if you think moving them in would entail you much money and effort rather than buying yourself a new one. Make a wise decision of conducting a moving sale and make money out of your old stuff. For this one, please do yourself a favor and leave old baggage behind.

Have a master checklist handy. This works before, during and after your move. It is through this checklist that would help you organize your thoughts and keep you track on what you should do on that particular day. A checklist would also help you not to leave anything undone.

Make sure that you’re stuff are properly insured. This one of the most complicated part of hiring a professional moving service to help you out. Be aware that various states offer different ordinances on the insurance policy that moving companies should adapt. Check them out and ask your local real estate agent and friends to help you decide which insurance policy is apt to your move.
