Prepare For Your Long Distance Move
When you find out at the very last moment that you need to relocate long distance, time is of the essence. Very often, people will find themselves having to move to another state in a matter of weeks, or even days, because of a promising new position or changes in the workplace.
This new Alpha Moving and Storage blog article offers some time saving tips that will help you with the challenge of having to move long distance on a short notice.
Moving Company Recommendations
Getting recommendations from your friends about a great moving company they had used in the past can save you a lot of time. Instead of going through the process of submitting dozens of requests and getting all kinds of estimates, you can safely select a mover by using a friend’s or a relative’s recommendation.
Let the Movers Pack for You
If you don’t have a lot of time to conduct the preparations yourself, full packing services can prove to be particularly useful. With full packing, the movers will bring all the necessary boxes and materials to your house. This could potentially save you many days of packing and preparations.
Get Rid of Unnecessary Items
Trimming down your inventory can save you a lot of preparation time. Sometimes it is going to be cheaper to buy new items at the destination. Packing and preparing items for a long distance can become time consuming.
We recommend that you create a full inventory list of all the items you intend to move. Go over your inventory list and mark down all the items you can sell or donate. Calculate the cost of moving such items versus the cost of buying new items at the destination point.
