MOVING TIPS
CROSS TOWN & CROSS COUNTRY
Whether it’s relocating across town, or across the country, moving can be both stressful and expensive. But fear not! With a little planning and preparation, you can manage costs and reduce a lot of headaches during your moving journey. Here are a few tips from your Packeze family designed to help you during those cross-town or cross country moves.
CROSS TOWN
CROSS COUNTRY
1. Choose an affordable moving company: Research different moving companies and com- pare their rates before choosing one that fits your budget. 2. Downsize: Similar to cross-town moves, downsizing is essential for cross-country moves since it reduces the amount of items you have to pack, transport and unpack. In the words of Marie Kondo, only keep what sparks joy! 3. Book early: Book your moving company at least two months in advance so they can sched- ule your move according to your preferred time- line. 4. Get insurance coverage: Accidents can happen during long-distance moves, so make sure that you have adequate insurance coverage for your belongings. 5. Pack strategically: Pack essential items separately from other belongings so they are easily accessible upon arrival at your new home. 6. Consider shipping options: Shipping some items such as books or clothes by mail may be more cost-effective than transporting them via a moving truck.
1. Plan ahead: Start planning your move at least a few weeks in advance to avoid any last-minute surprises. Make a checklist of all the tasks that need to be completed before moving day. 2. Declutter: When preparing for a move, decluttering can be a liberating experience. Take this opportunity to get rid of things you no longer need or use. This will help reduce the amount of items you have to pack, transport and unpack. If you decide to donate unused belong- ings, remember to check the operating hours of your local donation centers in advance, ensuring you can efficiently make drop-off times. 3. Pack smartly: Use sturdy boxes and packing materials to ensure that your belongings stay safe during transit. Label each box clearly with its contents and destination room. Visit Packeze.com for moving boxes. They are sturdy, reliable, and won’t break the bank! 4. Rent a truck: If you have a lot of items to move, consider renting a truck instead of hiring movers. This can save you money on labor costs. 5. Ask for help: Enlist the help of friends or family members to assist with packing, loading, unloading and unpacking. And hey, why not sweeten the deal by ordering pizza? It's the per- fect way to entice your friends to lend a hand during your move!
Get ready to rock your move, whether it's just down the street or across the country! These savvy moving hacks are your ticket to keeping costs in check, dialing down the stress, and guaranteeing your stuff arrives safe and sound at its new home sweet home.
