    Finding a good mover’s company is half of the work

These are some of the steps that you can follow when looking for movers. When it comes to having a quick move, it can be a little bit harder to find good movers, but not impossible.

Packing material

Finding a good packing material is important, especially when you need to have a quick move. There is a lot of misconception that packing material is irrelevant, but this is not the case. If you have a bad packing material it only means that you will have even more work around your move. Therefore, pick your battles when moving. Take some of the time you have for your move and buy the right material. Boxes are important and there are a lot of different kinds. There are boxes made for packing mirrors, lamps, and other fragile items.

Also, there are boxes with compartments where you can put your cups and other dishes without worrying that they will break. If you are on a limited budget, then there is a solution for that as well. Simply ask for some free boxes in one of the stores that are selling in bulk. They usually have boxes to spare. Next thing that you can find really useful is moving blankets. People don’t usually buy moving blankets because it is something that you use only when moving, therefore, you can always rent those from your movers. If they don’t have it, go online and find one for rent. It is not something that you should buy.

Packing material is very important

Pack essentials for the first couple of days

When you pack everything that you think it is most important you are probably wrong. What is probably most important people usually forget, and then they have to unpack. What is that that is so important? Everything you need for the first couple of days in your new home. Before you unpack you just have to have a change of clothes, a toothbrush, and paste, change of underwear. Pack one smaller bag or a suitcase with those things. You will be happy the first day when you realize that you can rest for that first day instead of spending it looking for a toothbrush in a box filled with books. So, make sure to pack your essentials before anything else.

Make time for decluttering

When you are competing with time you have to make priorities. Your priority should be decluttering. Mostly because you will save money and eventually you will save time by decluttering because you will have less to pack. What is one of the best things that you can do is to make a garage sale? In this way, you will earn money and have less to pack. Can’t get better than that, the only challenge is to get enough time, and once you do, it will be worth it.

Always ask an extra hand

When you have a time frame when it comes to moving it is good to have a help. You can ask your friends, your family, someone will assist you. It is better to have only one person to help you then to have more. The reason for that is, that you will have more awareness of what is where and that is important when you are moving fast. Therefore, finding one helping hand is good enough. Another plus is that you will get more bonding time with your friend, family member, or significant other. Make your move fun.

Check the checklist

Once you have packed check to see if everything is checked off your list of things to do. If something is missing now is the time to do it. So, make sure you follow your checklist throughout your move and in that way you will be on top of everything that is happening during your quick move. This is one of the most useful moving tips you can get.
