If you have ever moved house, you will know how stressful, time consuming, tiring and expensive it can be. So why not take some tips from the professionals to save you time and money. Here are five key principles.
Don't move what you no longer need or want. Have a good clean out way before you plan to move. Recycling what you can by giving items to friends, family and charities and throw away the rest of the unused and unwanted items you have collected. Don't be tempted to just take them with you as this will add the time to pack, move and unpack them as well as the transportation costs. Most homes have 10% of contents that are not longer required - that will be 10% less time and cost by clearing them out prior to moving.
Organise your boxes. Make it is easily visible for your movers what rooms they should unload your boxes into - try colour-coding your boxes to the rooms they are to go into in your new home. If you are not required to direct what room each box is to go into, then you will be free to do more important things like involve yourself in the unloading/unpacking. A quick way to colour code is to put tape of the same colour on boxes going into the same room. Use different colours for each room in your new house. You can pick up multiple coloured rolls of tape at your local hardware store for just a few dollars. Save yourself some time, energy and money.
If you are using an hourly-hire removalist company, it will save you money if you can get some family or friends to help on the move day. This will mean the removalist truck is packed and unpacked quickly with the saving on time meaning a saving on cost.
Another time saver (and money saver if using removalists) is to move some of your items yourself prior to your move day. You may wish to move your most prized possessions yourself and maybe the majority of your clothes - this will mean less to move on the day.
By using quality packing materials you will save on unwanted and costly mishaps to your valuables during your move. If you use boxes that have not been designed to handle the bumps and knocks during transportation you run the risk of the boxes breaking which will directly impact on your valuables. Further if you use cheap tape to bind your boxes you may run the risk of the box bursting and your things tumbling out. If you ensure your valued items are secure as possible by using quality packing materials, you will negate the cost of having to replace them if they break.
By following these hints, you can reduce your time and cost when moving. This means less stress which makes for a better house move on the day.
