There are several other challenges too, that we listen to – for instance, not finding the right team of movers, not being able to complete the moving responsibilities on time, falling victim to monetary discrepancies with the moving professionals, and whatnot! All of these scenarios happen when we do not plan for our move sensibly and cautiously. It is not planning for a picnic; it is a serious decision that you have to make so that your future is secure and you do not end up in some unforeseen situation after your move, whatsoever!
So, if you are someone thinking of leaving your present city, Pune to settle down in Visakhapatnam, following a major personal commitment, then pulling off this extensive move shall not be easier if you do not have the support and guidance from the professionals of the packing and moving companies. You can hire moving experts from Agarwal Packers – and they will ease out your moving journey like a walk in the park! So, make sure you do that at the earliest before you get into the hacks discussed in this article.
This blog post is going to be pretty simple but informative because we shall be talking about the list of key factors you should take care of whenever you are planning for a move!
• First, fulfill the essential tasks
Before you start with your packing task, make sure you finish off all the pending tasks you’re surrounded with. By doing so, you shall be able to focus on the packing tasks in a better way. Also, you won’t be running here and there amid the process. Book your appointment with the movers, fulfill bank formalities and credit card dues, collect the needful documents and call up to inform the important ones in your contact list. Also, drop emails notifying your employer or staff and the closest friends and relatives about the same. See if the pre-moving preparations are in place.
• Keeping a track of things is vital
Whether you are doing the packing or the moving experts, you must keep note of things that are to be packed. See which ones should be packed first and which should be packed during the final moving days. Another thing is, make sure you are keeping things together, meaning if you are wrapping electronic items, the cables, and cords, and any other removable part should be kept properly packed. There are smaller items like the screws, nuts, and bolts that could easily misplace if not carefully put together in plastic bags. So, make sure you do that, so you can put them together after the move again!
• Prepare a list of things to be packed
You will not pack and move your entire household because there would be so many items that would go into the trash, and some would also be sent for charity, while the rest of the pretty decent stuff could be showcased in the backyard sale. So, you should prepare a detailed list about how you will be going with the process – which rooms you will start with, and how the room by room inventory would be prepared. Write down everything you can when you are sorting out your items in the room. Pull out everything that is there and form categories. This way packing them would be easier!
• Order quality packing supplies
Packing supplies is something which says ‘the more you have them, the better and easier it gets. Packing for a move means you should visualize your entire household and imagine the load of goods you will have. Regardless of you packing your stuff or the professionals from Agarwal Packers and Movers doing it for you, make sure you get sufficient packing materials right from packing paper, brown paper, bubble wraps, cardboard boxes in different sizes, quality moving cartons, foam peanuts, etc. If you are getting them from the moving company you picked, great but you can even get them from local stores.
• Bring to use customized boxes
As we mentioned above, there are a huge number of packing materials that come to play when we are working on our packing task. And, you should have them all at your place, before you even start packing. Make sure to spend a little bit extra and always go for quality items whether it is a packing paper or cardboard box. Boxes and cartons in different sizes play important role in packing because every item gets the final dose of protection when it is sealed within these durable, well-made cardboard boxes. Having them in surplus helps in overcoming last-minute crises where you are left with miscellaneous things to be packed but there’s no box or container left in stock!
• Follow the color-coding system
This is the final step to consider when you are packing your belongings for the move. This is interesting and makes your post-moving tasks a lot more fun and easy! Just as you prepare an inventory of things at the beginning of the packing job, make sure you maintain a synchronized labeling process where each of your moving cartons would be labeled with the key details before it is being moved into the moving truck for shipment. Use printed labels or color-coordinated name stickers, whichever seems convenient to you for labeling your cartons so you can easily unbox and rearrange what’s inside after you have moved!
