major setbacks.
Take it easy, as the saying goes: new house, new life.
Whether you are going alone, as a couple or as a family, moving implies the
start of a new project, which includes a change of environment, location and
places to carry out daily activities. Avoid falling into despair, so to start
positively you must plan a good move in time, for this we present some simple
suggestions that can help you in this task.
First of all, the change of residence is an excellent
opportunity to review all the contents of your home and choose what you really
want to take to your new home and what is best to get rid of once and for all.
Also, the fewer objects you have for the day of the move, it will be easier.
There is no point paying for the shipment of items you will never need, it is
an unnecessary expense.
Who will take care of
the transportation?
Once you have defined everything you will transport to your
new home, dedicate a good time, it is recommended four or five weeks before the
event, to find information about the removal companies: what services,
guarantees and, above all, the prices.
Today Packers And Movers Kolkata are moving companies that, in addition to the transportation of all the
household goods, offer the packing service. They go one day before to your home
and they are in charge of packing everything.
In the packaging of a standard house, four members of family,
two bedrooms, living room, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, these services
are provided by including
the boxes of different sizes and all the necessary material (bubble, paper,
etc.) to protect all types of items. In addition, many companies include in the
service an insurance that protects everything that will be transported in case
of breakages, mistreatment or loss.
We recommend that you select company and ask that we visit you to
make a budget, which must be given in writing specifying the conditions. Never
close the deal by telephone, since later we could modify the costs. Beware of
excessively cheap moving companies. Quality, service and efficiency have their
price.
Once you have chosen our company, check that it meets the
requirements established by law related to the sector. Sign the contract only
when everything is according to your requirements. Check that the document
includes company's
data, the inventory, the route, the date of the move and the price.
Keeping Each thing in
its place
As we mentioned, Euro Packers And Movers company
include in the service the packing of all the objects, although it is obvious
that this increases the cost for the work we will do. However, this task of
packaging all your properties can be done by yourself, it is not so complicated
and you will save a good amount of money. Here are some suggestions.
·
The
boxes (either cardboard or plastic) and good-sized plastic bags are essential
for any move. You will also need newspaper, bubble and foam packaging, adhesive
tape, a marker and labels to mark the boxes.
·
When
you get the boxes choose the most solid and not too large, so you can easily
load. Reinforce the base of the boxes by crossing two bands of adhesive tape.
·
In
large plastic bags you can store clothing and bedding. You can also bag stuffed
animals and toys. Avoid sharp or heavy objects, surely, they will go better in
the boxes.
·
Another
option to pack clothes is the travel bags, it will be easier to transport, but
you must make sure they are strong enough.
·
Make
the packaging room by room, labeling each box with a specific description of
its contents and the room to which it is addressed. In this way you can
indicate to our workers of company in what room they should deposit each box.
·
Clearly
label boxes containing fragile items so that they are handled with care.
Indicate which is the top side of the box so that it is always face up.
·
Fill
the boxes so that the objects do not bounce inside. First deposit the heaviest
things and place the smallest ones on them to the limit of the box.
·
For
heavier items, such as books, use small boxes that can be transported or moved
easily.
·
The
dishes must be packed separately and with great care. The plates, cups and
glasses have to be wrapped with plastic bubble and placed inside the box
vertically, then fill the gaps with newspaper. Label with the word
"fragile" on several of the sides of the box.
·
Never
use adhesive tapes directly on the furniture, then it will take a lot of work
to remove the glue and may spoil the finish. Electronic devices are best
transported wrapped in blankets.
·
When
packing a computer do not forget to make backup copies of the information it
contains and make sure not to keep it near objects that generate a magnetic
field.
·
Do
not pack or transport fuel or flammable objects.
·
Do
not forget to put together a box with the following items to carry in the car
and have them at hand: basic tools such as hammer, screwdriver, tweezers, tape,
etc..; cleaning items such as broom, sponge, cleansers, soap, towels, toilet
paper, etc. Disposable cups, plates and cutlery.
Beware of valuable items
Never send valuables such as jewelry, art objects, insurance
policies, legal documents, etc., in your move, take them yourself.If you have
furniture or valuable objects, photograph them before the move. In this way, if
you suffer any damage during the same will have evidence to file a complaint
and make the warranty valid.
Ask for support from family or friends to supervise the move.
It is recommended that a person be aware of the exit of the furniture, another
of the load in the truck and one more that coordinates the reception in the new
residence. In this way, everyone will watch that the goods do not suffer
losses.
During the discharge, tell moving staff where to put things. Some
companies offer a complete service that includes unpacking and reassembling
furniture, this work is usually included in the contracted budget.
Do not remove the protective wraps until the furniture is
located in its final place. So, if you want to move a couple of things, you can
load them more easily and prevent them from being mistreated.Keep
in mind some expenses inherent to the move. That day you will not have food or
kitchen utensils available, so consider spending food at home or in a
restaurant. Also consider an extraordinary expense of gasoline, since it is
probable that you will have to return once or twice to the previous house. In
some cases, it is likely that lights are missing in some rooms or require replacement.
Include this expense in your budget.
