If you want a cheaper option, you can pack your things,
load them on a rented moving truck, and drive to the destination. You
can also book your possessions as freight, though this is a kerb to kerb
service, and you will have to do all the hard work yourself.
If you decide to do the packing yourself, it is best to buy high-quality
moving supplies and to start packing non-essential items well before it
is time to move. Packing is much easier if you pack few moving boxes
every day.
Paste color-coded labels on the boxes to ensure that they will be placed
in the rooms for which they are meant in your new home. Mention the
contents of each box on the label. Pack all essential items that will be
needed as soon as you reach your new home in one box and write ‘Open
First’ on it.
Make a floor plan of your new home and mark the positions where you want
your furniture and appliances to be placed. Give a copy to the movers.
Start looking for a reliable moving company well before it is time to
relocate. Check the credentials and reputation of the household moving
services and make sure that they are licensed and insured. Your entire
moving experience will depend on the mover you choose.
Obtain movers quotes in writing from a few reputable movers. It pays to
choose a reputable moving company, rather than to make a choice only on
the basis of the lowest bid. Watch out for offer lowball quotes offered
by some moving services to hook customers.
