What To Plan For Before The Moving Company Arrives

It’s no secret that moving is stressful even if you are making a local move. Packing up your entire life into boxes and shipping them off somewhere else creates a different kind of chaos that most of us are not used to dealing with. The best way to counteract the madness that comes with a move is getting organized. Planning ahead and knowing exactly where to find your essential items will save you time and energy. Here are a few tips to help you plan your next move.


  • Talk to your moving company - make sure you have the details of your move planned out well in advance. Discussing rates, times, dates, and the quantity of items that will be moved eliminates the possibility for errors, delays, and hidden fees.
  • Get your vehicle inspected - unexpected auto problems in everyday life are mildly inconvenient. When you are moving, auto problems can halt your entire moving process which can have a ripple effect into your time, money, and energy. Make sure you check your brakes, oil, tires, and anything else that might be problematic during your move.
  • Pack an overnight bag - keep all your daily essentials handy in an overnight bag that will stay with you throughout the duration of the move. Clothes, toiletries, phone chargers, medications, and anything else that you cannot live without are all great things to make sure don’t get packed away in boxes.
  • Make arrangements for your pets - moving is also a stressful process for your furry friends. You may want to make them comfortable for a couple days at a friend’s place or a kennel until you have had a chance to set up their new home.
  • Lighten the load - don’t take anything with you that you do not want at your new place. Sell, donate, or throw out anything that you do not plan on using in your new home. Unwanted items only make moving more difficult.

The Benefits of Utilizing a Storage Unit
January 20, 2020
Sometimes, it can be difficult to find space for all of your belongings in your home or business. Taking advantage of storage can be beneficial for a variety of reasons, including: Reduce Clutter & Increase Space Have a ton of items you don't use on a regular basis? Need to store the furniture that is unused in your office currently? Storage is a great solution! Whether you're holding onto items for later use, sentimental value, or are waiting for the right time to sell, storage can ensure those items are safe and sound until that time comes. Safety & Security Most storage facilities are equipped with advanced technology to ensure the property is secured and safe. This means that your items are under tight surveillance the entire time they are in storage. Valuable items, whether monetarily or emotionally valuable, are safer than if they were stored in a garage or basement. Holiday Storage It goes without saying that your holiday decorations only get used once a year. Therefore, storing them is the best way to get them out of the way and open up space for things you may need regular access to! Whether you have decorative holiday items for your home or business, storing them in a facility keeps them safe and out of the way until it's time to celebrate that particular holiday! Gap Between Move-Out & Move-In Dates In the event your move does not go according to the determined time frame, storing the items you don't need on a day-to-day basis can be helpful! You won't have to panic about where to store your items in the interim because they will be safe in a facility until your move-in date is set! Rely on Fisher North American for all of your storage needs in the Williamsville, Cheektowaga, and Buffalo, NY area! We will ensure your items are secure for as long as they are with us.
