Moving to another home can be equally exciting and stressful. You’ll need to pack your whole life into boxes and for some people, that’s not easy. Add in the chaos and confusion of dealing with other things—pets, kids, work—and you might have too much on your hands. Here are some tips to help you survive the experience with your sanity intact:
Get help from pros
Buzzfeed, along with other sites, offer great DIY packing tips. But some shipping services provide relocation packers and movers assistance. You won’t have to worry about making packing mistakes. They can do the wrapping for you. You can supervise or monitor the packing or use it to stay on top of other details essential for the move. Professional packers know how to get these things done on a rush, without missing anything. It’s a skill that’s been honed by years on the job.
Make sure it’s a reliable pick
Don’t just go to any shipping service, though. Take steps to ensure you’re hiring a credible and trustworthy service provider. Check the company’s background before you sign on the dotted line. Find out if they have extensive experience with the job. You want a company that has a good network of resources to make sure your boxes will benefit from careful handling, storage and transport up to the minute the packages are delivered to your new home.
Check the schedule
Delivery times can be as long as a month. Check with your shipping company beforehand so you have a better gauge of the timeline you’ll need to work with. If you book too early or too late, your luggage could arrive way before you get there or get there, already a few weeks late.
Seek out professional relocation packers and movers assistance, be sure it’s a trustworthy pick and check the schedule. These tips should help make for an easy, less-stressful move.
