The advantages of preparing a detailed inventory for your coming move are both practical and financial. Having a detailed and accurate inventory will help your mover to provide you with a better and more accurate estimate. It will also help you to sort out things that you are not interested in moving and possibly reduce the costs of the move. In this Alpha Moving and Storage post, we will demonstrate how creating a detailed inventory can help you with your upcoming move.
Preparing your inventory and Sorting out Items
You’ll be surprised to hear how many people end up taking and paying for the moving of items they do not need, only because they failed to properly inventory their goods in advance. Go room by room and prepare a list of the items you will be taking with you, the items you are still considering whether or not to take with you and the items you will be leaving behind.
Organizing your inventory in such a way will also assist you to reach decisions about what items you would like to pack yourself and what items you would like the movers to pack for you.
Providing your Mover with Information Regarding Inventory Changes
Be sure to provide your relocation company timely updates about any inventory changes you may be doing. It doesn’t matter whether you are buying and adding new furniture or getting rid of some items, such changes will almost always influence the price of the move. Be sure to update your mover about them and avoid unwanted and unnecessary surprises on the day of the move.
