List of Things to Do When Moving To a New Place!
by Ram Sewak TransportationWe cannot talk about everything that goes into the major real-life developments but we can share some valuable moving ideas that you can take a cue from to plan your forthcoming move from Mumbai to Chennai. When is your move scheduled by the way? We hope you have booked the packers and movers in Mumbai for the assignment. Did you?
If you did not do it yet, no worries, here are a few things that you must comprehend if you want to make the most of your move. We have started the post, highlighting every important aspect in sequence, starting from finding a suitable moving plan to finally closing the deal on a favorable note, at the end of the move.
Okay, so without any further ado, let’s begin:
Do not trust blindly – You must never rely on the movers you come across from your research straight up until you have researched details and checked reviews. How can you say that the company you recently browsed has all the genuine credentials to verify its authenticity? So, just do everything that it requires:
• Go through the website
• Validate address details
• Confirm contact information
• Read everything mentioned
• Check the audience’s review
• Discuss with friends/colleagues
• Find out ratings and references
• Check social media accounts
Valuations of the ABCs – Ahead of getting involved in the packing activities, make sure to quickly sort out your finances. Inspect your finances carefully so you can get some idea of the money you can afford to spend during the moving episode. Some of the major expenses you must be ready to pay for are – the packing materials cost, the specialty items cost, the moving equipment cost, the moving insurance cost, the moving vehicle cost, the labor cost, the special services cost, the different types of move-associated costs that are there, etc.
To avoid falling into monetary crisis during the period, make sure ample amount of finances are set aside as ‘security’ for urgencies and fallouts.
Reserve your energy – Save yourself from the moving hassle and headaches by taking care of yourself. The entire process of relocation is pretty much demanding and you have to keep in mind that the next day of preparation shall be a notch more cumbersome. So, plan out your tasks on time and know which of the chores are to be worked out by you and the ones that only the professionals would take care of. No matter how busy you are, you should not compromise on your sleep and resting pattern. Whenever things seem to be a bit hectic, just put a halt to your work and take a break. But, some of the things that you will be required to do at this point are:
• Prepare the essentials boxes – the toiletry bag and the medical kit
• Choose which rooms you are going to pack first
• Do not forget to pack bedding tactically – you need some bedding materials for the move and also for the post-move period.
• Prepare the name labels no matter when they come to use
• Manage clothes – get your clothes from the laundry, sort the wardrobe and lessen the load as much as you can
Arrange house goods – Although you have hired moving professionals for your house moving project there would still be a few things that must be taken care of by you. The first thing is prepping up your belongings, especially the essential household items like furniture, appliances, etc. For that, you simply need to:
• Clean up the household items that are dusted and messy
• Dismantle everything you can – from furniture to gadgets
• Pack whatever you can before the professionals come over
• Securely remove and keep loose cables and cords together
• Prepare clothes, off-seasoned items, high-value items too
• When handling appliances alone, refer to the user manuals
• If handling wooden items, have someone with you for help
• Packing should always be done using quality materials
• Ensure every item – from electronics to appliances, from crockery to accessories, from specialty items to décor stuff, from antiques to utensils, everything is properly cushioned before they are packed
Note: For the materials to be used, one must be doubly sure that they are of superior quality, those that can offer extended protection to the goods. Durable boxes, double-walled cartons, specialty boxes, fabric sheets, shrink wraps, etc. are some of the packing essentials one must-have.
Find local info – You can do this whenever you have time. Ideally, it is better if you research about the same before you make the move, so you arrive at your new place somewhat prepared. Relocating to unfamiliar surroundings is challenging but it is even more challenging when you know you could have made things better by researching the place at least. This is what you can do:
• Visit the new place once
• Research about the city
• Walk around the streets
• Talk to people living there
• Find out all you can about the place
• Give yourself some time to get used to
• Spend time reviewing the local social media
• Follow trends, things, etc. around the place
Perform last round of duties – We understand you would feel exhausted after you have finally reached your new home but do not let yourself get into that mode immediately. Have your time, enjoy a breather but then get back to the last round of tasks you are left with. The sequence of tasks you would be doing is:
• Communicate with the experts again
• Know the exact time of shipment delivery
• Be there when the truck reaches your address
• Inspect the goods unloading process
• Match the cartons with the inventory
• Let the movers bring in the cartons
• Ask the experts to install essential goods
• Have a chat, serve some refreshments
• Make the payment and pay a tip to close the deal
• Unpack and organize the rest of the items alone
Though the entire moving episode is accompanied by stress as there are countless things to be worked out but very little time but go easy by hiring the movers and packers in Mumbai on time so you can relocate sensibly.
