Back in the days, moving was this scary task that caused much stress in people because of all the time, effort and the money they’ll need to spend just to change the place they live in. While this was way back in the past, believe it or not, some people still stress about it even though it’s the 21st century and there are all kinds of ways to make these things much easier. That being said, moving has evolved from being a daunting, time-consuming and expensive task for the family of 2 (you and your partner because your kids are always busy) into a job for teams of 4 or more professional movers. That means, we drink coffee and enjoy while we pay some amount of money to people with developed systems to move all our stuff into our new home.
However, even though the entire procedure has been facilitated a lot, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to participate in it at all. You still need to prepare your stuff for being transferred and help with the packing as you want to know what went where. That being said, things can still become a little messy, so read on how to avoid a nervous breakdown and move without making a big fuss.
Step One: Talk to the Movers You Hired
It’s needless to say that for a smooth move you should hire a professional movers Sydney company. Whether you’re going to do an online request or find someone who has an office near you, it doesn’t matter. Once you decide you’re going to work with these guys, ask them to come and make an evaluation of all the things that need to be moved. They’ll tell you what can and can’t be done and of course, they’ll make an estimate of how much it would all cost you.
Step Two: Help with the Packing
Some professional movers Sydney wide offer packing services and some don’t. However, even if the company you’ll choose offers packing services, you’re going to want to have control over the situation. Fragile things, personal stuff and most importantly documents and valuables need to be taken care of by you. Don’t take the risk. Also, if you do use a packing service, make sure everything is packed according to a list so you know the content of each box. That way you can organize the delivery procedure and have all boxes ready to unpack in the proper room.
Step Three: Prepare the Final Destination
A.k.a – your new home. Choose a day or two before the move to go there and prepare everything for unpacking. That means you should clean the space, disinfect if you must to and generally make everything sparkling before your stuff come in. Then, simply start bringing the furniture in. After all beds and chairs are delivered, start opening the boxes. Since you’ll already have a plan of what will go where, you should finish unpacking in no longer than two days.
So, is moving into a new home possible in less than a week? With the right plan and a small investment in the proper help, it sure is.
