Make Moving A Breeze

First things first: organize an appointment with a moving company a couple weeks in advance. The biggest factor in making your move go smooth is by making sure it's organized from the beginning: most of the times moving companies will provide you with some information on how to prepare for your move. For example: San Jose Moving has done a fantastic job in providing their customers with great pointers - and it's all online! Click Here to Download a Checklist. Not to mention, most moving companies give you quick over the phone estimates to help give you an idea of how much it will cost you. 

Now, moving companies vary by reputation and finding the best moving company for you can be really difficult, but through my experience I've found that Yelp Reviews make my decision making much easier. Make sure you do your research on companies before making the appointment. If you look at Yelp reviews for movers in San Jose you will notice that they have an extensive list of customer testimonials to filter through. Personally, I find it a lot easier on my body and mind to trust the hands of a Professional Movers to package and transfer my belongings. Experience does make a difference! 

Keeping an inventory or documenting a timeline can be quite difficult to manage, especially with the stress of moving already. Thankful for technology and smart phones, there are a few applications that can help you manage your timeline. Take a look at this article to start downloading. If you're low on data or simply cannot download the applications for whatever reason, you can use any other types of reminders to help keep track of when your movers are going to arrive. Making sure you reserved parking for the moving truck, making sure the freight elevator is reserved for moving day, vaccumming the rug before its about to be rolled up and taken away. These small things can be hard to remember at times, so using your phone to help you keep reminded is a great idea. Downloading a checklist can make your prep-period go a lot more smooth: just check tasks off as you knock them out!

Plan what to move. It will help you organize the packing materials to purchase. If your calculations are correct, you will have the right amount and type of moving supplies. Often people have difficulties deciding what to buy and how much and many have to run to the store in the last minute, or have plenty of packing supplies left unused. Both options are time consuming. A moving company can help with those estimations. 

Get the packing supplies. Do not wait till the last minute because there may not be one. Plan what sort and how much packing supplies you will need to use. Then go and get them at one time in the store. If you could avoid going several times for shopping the packing materials which you will need, you will save time. If you cannot make the calculations, again the movers could help you. 

Pack well, pack smart. Label the boxes with their content and to which room they belong. In this way you will find more easily what you need instead of going through all boxes one by one and losing time in searching.
