Moving Tips:
It’s a well known fact that moving can be one of the most stressful experiences of our lives. But it doesn’t always have to be. With a little advance planning, organization and some attention to detail, your move can be relatively stress-free.

Here are a few Simple and Helpful tips:
Hire a reputable mover: A reputable mover can give you peace of mind. Don’t just hire the first mover you see—or the cheapest. An unqualified mover can end up costing more in the end if items are lost or broken. Check references carefully, and contact your local Better Business Bureau to see if complaints are on file.


Make a schedule: Start at least two months before your move (if possible!), and create a checklist. The more organized you are, the fewer things you will forget, and the less stress you will have—particularly as the move gets closer and time is at a premium.
Label boxes properly. To save time—and help make sure boxes end up in the right rooms when you arrive—label them with the contents and the room they go in.

Eliminate excess possessions before the move: If you won’t need an item in your new home, get rid of it before you move. You’ll save time packing, eliminate clutter and, if you hold a garage sale, you’ll make some extra cash too.

Stock up on supplies: Nothing creates stress like running out of boxes or packing tape at the last minute. Have plenty of supplies on hand.

Change your address early: By completing a change-of-address form before you move, you can save yourself the headaches of overdue bills, service disconnects and even identity theft. Don’t forget to schedule cut-off dates for utilities—and make sure these same services are turned on at your new home. Many firms now allow you to make these changes online.

Whew! With theses tips, Moving will be so simple and will save You time and money!
