Tips to Prepare Before Shifting Homes

Relocation to your dream home is so overwhelming, but it’s often clouded by the tedious packing moving tasks. If you are planning to shift by yourself, you must take complete responsibility for your households like fragile items, bulky furniture, and other household goods, and also be aware of the risk factors like damaging your goods/property, self-injury, etc., due to lack of experience and manpower, etc. 

Don't burden yourself with the moving tasks as it will ruin your joy of relocation. Instead, hire packers and movers who will reduce your moving stress by professionally executing all your shifting tasks from start to end.

But, before hiring best relocation company, here are few tips you must follow to make your home shifting smooth. 

1. Sort out all goods you haven't used for long time, or you don’t need any more; you can sell or donate those goods. Doing this will considerably reduce your shifting charges too.
2. Plan your relocation, at least 7-10 days before the moving date for local shifting, and 15-20 days before for domestic shifting plan. This will help you find reliable movers and packers. 

    

3. As weekends and month-ends are a hectic time for packers it’s hard to find reliable movers at an affordable rate. Choose weekdays or mid-month to move, so you can find genome company for a reasonable price.

    

4. Update your new address in firms like banks, educational institutions, insurance companies, online shopping sites, etc., to avoid missing important mails.

    

5. To disconnect or transfer your utility services like DTH, LPG, Wi-Fi, newspaper and newspaper company, water suppliers, etc., contact your service providers. 

    

6. It’s advisable not to shift your valuables like jewelry, financial lifesavers, important documents, laptop, etc., with the packers. 

    

7. To ensure comfortable stay at your new place, until you adjust there completely, pack your essentials like medicines, personal care, toiletries, charges/power banks, extra pair of clothes, kids items (baby food, toys), etc.

    

8. Things like clothes, books, etc., don't need protective packing; you can pack these things in large carry bags and covers, suitcases, backpack, etc., available with you.

    

9. Prepare your electronics like unplugging cables from TV, defrosting the fridge, emptying water-filter, etc., to avoid them getting repaired.

    

10. Click pictures of your goods like electronics, furniture, etc., so it’s easy to reassemble or check if any damage happened.
