What does planning ahead has to do with reducing and handling moving related stress? Well, basically everything. Most of the stress related with moving is simply caused by the basic fear of the unknown. Thinking about changing your environment, your workplace, your children’s schools and kindergartens and so on can cause a lot stress. Add to that the stress of the moving process and something very close to panic may ensue.
This is why the more you plan ahead, know what to expect and are familiar with all the aspects of the relocation process, the better and more comfortable will you feel with the entire process.
Starting the Process early and Coming up with a Definite Plan
Ideally, preparations for a relocation process should begin two to three months before the actual moving date.
Our recommendation is to work with organized lists that will detail tasks and schedule. This will help you organize everything for your move and will also serve to ease your “fear of the unknown” as you will know what to expect at each and every step.
Your list should include the tasks of creating and managing an exact inventory list for your move, a list of reputable possible movers, a list of tasks you would like the movers to perform from you, a detailed schedule for moving dates and times, access information for both pick up and delivery locations and any other relevant details.
Scheduling and Moving
Selecting a reputable relocation service means that you will be able to get an organized estimate and an organized moving schedule. It also means that you will be able to avoid unwanted surprises.
Combining the creation of an organized schedule and utilizing the services of a well known and reputable relocation service can and will greatly reduce the stress related to your move.

Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!
