Long-distance moves mark the start of an exciting new change or brand-new beginning. Of course, they require a lot of careful planning and coordination in order to minimize your costs and stress level. Here are a few helpful tips to help make for a successful long-distance move!
Start planning your move as soon as you know it’s definite
Even a local move requires a lot of preparation, so you can expect that and more when it comes to a long-distance move. The earlier you start to research companies and begin requesting in-home estimates, the better.
Consider cutting down
From a cost standpoint alone, moving long distance is a large expense. However, you do have some control over the final bill. The more stuff you have, the more you will have to pay. Consider trying to sell or donate some of your easily replaceable or gently used furniture (patio chairs and tables, etc.) to save on your costs.
Create a list of all essentials
This will also help you for when or if you decide to trim down the clothing, furniture, or items that you are taking with you on your move. Staying organized is key and creating a list for all of your essentials is an easy way to maintain that. You should also make a list for the things that you need to complete prior to your move, including changing your address on your ID or canceling local memberships.
Use protective packaging
Or make sure that the moving company that you are using does this for you. Fisher North American expertly packs, crates, and labels all of your belongings to ensure that they safely reach your new location.
