Tips on How to Prepare for Household Moving

Moving is a huge source of stress for many people, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are a few steps from our Tempe movers you can take to save money, expedite the relocation process, and have the peace of mind from no loose ends.

Plan and Gather Supplies

Start the moving process with gathering supplies. Boxes and other moving supplies can add up to a significant sum of money, but being resourceful can save you some money. Contact your local furniture stores and ask them if you can come pick up some of their used boxes, ask friends if they have any moving supplies left-over, and hit up Craigslist for some used goodies.

Know exactly which bills you are responsible for paying, and call to set a service switch. Change the address you have on file with your bank, and fill out a change of address form online. Lastly, figure out what your moving costs will be and set a budget. Contact Arizona Brothers Moving to make your move that much smoother.

Purge Unwanted Household Items

Before packing, do a sweep through each room and gather the items you no longer want, and donate or sell them. Lighten the load for lower moving costs. You may come across more donatable items later, but purging now can get rid of the extra burden.

Packing

Set aside essential toiletries and clothing, as if you were leaving for vacation; you won’t have to worry about rummaging through your already packed boxes later. Next, gather items (such as bed sheets) that you will want as soon as you move into your new home, and put them in clearly labeled boxes. You won’t have to dig through several room’s worth of stuff to find necessities.

Set aside soft items such as towels and pillows, as these can be utilized as padding later. Alleviate the later stress of unpacking by putting other items in room-specific boxes, starting with the least necessary items (such as wall decorations and stored items) and progressing to the essentials.
