Create an inventory of the things you want to pack

If you are relocating for the first time and you have no experience with writing a plan of organization. We recommend that you create the categories of inventory you want to move. Take a piece of paper and pen and begin. For example, if your present apartment has a sleeping room, bathroom, kitchen, and living room, draw 4 squares. In each square write a title: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room. After that, start with the kitchen. Go to the kitchen and on paper where the square Kitchen is, enter all the items from it. Do exactly the same thing with the other 3 squares. That will ease the organization of moving. You will be surprised how many items and furniture you have in each of these 4 squares.  You should start with organizing the biggest furniture pieces, and finish with the small details and decoration, such as paintings, lamps, vases, pillows, etc. 

Keep in mind that after moving people often buy some new pieces of furniture, while throwing away old ones.  So you can write a note on the back of the paper, in which you will enter the things that you can donate to Vulnerable social groups, and help someone’s life get better. Be organized and humane at the same time!

Reduce your costs and make smart savings 

Money doesn’t fall from the sky.  You see well that your investment funds will be in danger except if you do all in your capacity to lessen moving costs. Remember that a low-cost moving company doesn’t always mean lower quality of services. There are high-rated full-service moving companies that offer customized relocation solutions to fit a various range of moving budgets. The professional movers guarantee the protection and safety of your items. They surely have more experience than you in packing and moving all types of items. Especially fragile ones.  So do not hesitate to pay for their services. Renting truck or vans, hiring people you don’t know, buying a lot of boxes and protections for items, can be twice as expensive as hiring a moving company. Something to think about when moving to another city is examining your movers well before utilizing their services to maintain a distance from unsavory amazements.  

Pack your things wisely! 

If you have compiled a list of items you are moving, it does not mean that you just need to pack them in boxes and put them in the truck. Various items require different packaging and protection. If you do not want to lose your pieces, pack your things wisely! There are some essentials to keep in mind while packing, such as:  

    • Make sure you have special quality packing materials and boxes for fragile items 
    • Cardboard boxes are providing the safest and most efficient way of packing items 
    • After putting items in the boxes, reinforce them with a tape, and line their bottoms to get extra protection  
  • If you have expensive details, for example, ceramic things, wrap them in packing paper or even better in bubble wrap to add more safety

Label the boxes

After packing things in boxes, make sure that the boxes are marked with item titles. Imagine that you have 50 boxes that look exactly the same. And you want to find a certain thing. You will not absolutely know where to start, you will lose a lot of time, and you will need to open each box. Do not forget this very important step.  To label your boxes. This is one of the most common steps that people forget when moving. If you write on the boxes: FRAGILE, IMPORTANT, EASILY BROKEN. This will help not only you, to find things, but also workers when packing things in a truck. Another thing that seems impossible. What happens is that people often put documents and important papers in boxes and then into the truck. They can’t find them later, so big problems arise.

There are many things to remember when moving No one can remember anything nobody is perfect. But there are ways to remember the most important things. If you forget the most important things you will ruin the whole relocation. But do not worry the more worried you get the more stress you create. The more stress will make you make worse decisions which can be awful for your relocation. Be sure to stay calm so you can move without any stress.
