Moving across your town or city is tricky enough, but relocating to another state can be even more nerve-racking. The long list of things to do is really overwhelming, particularly if you are unprepared for your moving day. Fortunately, we can offer some vital tips to make sure your long distance move run as smoothly as possible. Here we go:
Interview your DC moving company beforehand – Ensure to plan beforehand & contact us so that we can offer you an accurate moving estimate. For a successful long-distance relocation you must interview movers & asking for an estimate at least 9 weeks beforehand. Keep in mind that, in summer moving firms are reserved many weeks & even months in advance.
Start packing – There’re always things you don’t use on a regular basis so start packing as early as feasible & start with things you don’t use a lot and can survive without for some time.
Sorting – Make use of this time to eliminate items that you don’t require any longer. If you’re appointing a moving service you’ll be charged by the load so you should try to avoid moving stuff that are of no use.
Valuables – Sort our jewelry & other precious items and take those yourself. Don’t overlook about the vital documents. Things such as birth certificates, passports, car registrations, rental agreements etc you must keep in your car inside a filebox.
Do a thorough home inspection - Prior to making your long-distance relocations, it is vital you know about any problem with your new home. You must try to work with the present owner on what has to be sorted out before you relocate. This will definitely save you a great deal of stress when you get there at your new address.
Switch all utilities & services – Finally, ensure that you look into new service providers including gas, electric, cable, phone, water, garbage and sewage. It’s important that you execute this step a minimum 4 weeks prior to your schedule relocation, because new services will generally need that time to get everything installed for you. You may also have to make a deposit in advance, so ensure you know all the details prior to doing your long distance move.
