Moving mistakes that need to be avoided

by | Aug 1, 2016 | Moving

Don’t think that moving is simple, it’s not. Moving is akin to managing a small company; to run it right you must plan, budget, develop strategies and execute everything. If you fail to cover everything, there is a good chance your company will fail, the same as moving; if you overlook important little details the move will not go as smooth as it should.

*Don’t just “wing it,” plan ahead: Putting things off till the last minute can be disastrous, moving is a huge job, even a small move from your one bedroom apartment to a new apartment on the other side of town can go wrong if the move is not well thought out. Start planning well in advance, months, not weeks, are needed to do it right.

*You have so many things to do; perhaps you need to arrange an overnight stay, you certainly have to arrange to change your address at the post office and notify the utility companies. The best movers in Spokane WA will help; they can provide you with a list of things that need careful consideration.

*Scheduling: You may or may not have options here. Moving during the first and last weeks of the month should be avoided if at all possible. The same is true for summer months; try to move when other people aren’t. Begin researching movers in Spokane WA well in advance; the last thing you want is to find you have left hiring the mover until all that is left are those that will take advantage of your situation and charge higher than normal rates.

*Always get rid of things you don’t want or need: Start going through your things early, set aside everything that can be classified as “extraneous” and then either donate it or have a garage sale. Remember, the cost of moving is not just based on distance; it is based on weight as well, the more you move, the more it will cost.

Even though you are entrusting your property to pros, accidents can happen. Make sure you have insurance that will cover the cost of repair or replacement in the event of loss or damage.

Little things like this can make your relocation a much easier and less stressful exercise.
