Getting ready to move to a new place is an exciting time. The hope and thrill you have for a new place to settle into can be as exciting as it is overwhelming. If you have never experienced a long distance move, it may seem more overwhelming than exciting. However, if you follow a few steps, you will find that it doesn’t have to be as overwhelming as you may think. Excalibur Moving & Storage is here to share our best cross country moving tips to help make yours as easy as it possible can be.
Plan Move as Far Ahead as Possible
As soon as you know the details of your upcoming move, you need to contact the company you will be working with to move you. There are many potential delays that you need to take into consideration as you make plans for your move. You want to make sure you can schedule the dates that you want without running into any delays because your moving company is already booked at that time. When you choose a moving company to work with rather than moving on your own, you can expect a much more precise move in date. A moving company is experienced and can let you know exactly how long it will take to get your belongings to you.
Don’t Underestimate Packing
Many people make the mistake of underestimating the amount of time it takes to pack up your belongings to move. Generally speaking, the packing process usually takes much longer than people anticipate it will. Not only do you need to pack up the belongings you are taking with you, but you also have to decide what you are going to do with the things that you no longer need or want. This is a great time to donate or sell items that you no longer need. When you’re working with a moving company, you can always count on them to pack up your house for you as well.
Don’t Forget About Storing Your Items
Don’t forget that when you’re moving a long distance, you may need to store your belongings for a short time if your plans change and you aren’t going to get there at the same time as your personal items. You can always have your items stored until you are ready to get them put away. Maybe you don’t want to overcrowd your new place; temporary storage is a great option to help you manage the move with ease.
