Moving Tips

 

How to move: Getting Prepared

moving tips

The best way to pack for moving is to start earlier, rather than later. So before we get to packing tips and tricks, here are some moving hacks that will help you start off on the right foot.

There are a lot of things you can do before you even pack up that first box to help facilitate an easier move. The moving hacks below will help you start off on the right foot.

  • Call the utility companies as soon as you know you’re moving. You’ll not only get it out of the way early on, you’ll also ensure you don’t forget to do it later.
  • Find a mover fast. Call us to schedule your professional move with us, you can reach us at 321-256-2525. You can also email us at promoversfl@gmail.com
  • Plan out your packing supplies. To get a good idea of just how much you’ll need in terms of packing supplies. This way, you can be sure to get what you need on the first run to the store. Schedule a Free in-home estimate or we can text you a video link, with us and we can pack for you. We offer professional packing services too!
  • Eat up. Make it a goal to eat as much of the food you already have in your house as you can before moving day arrives. Turn it into a game and get creative with recipes to see how much you can use up. Do good at the same time by donating unopened/unexpired food to a local food bank, or hand it off to us and we will donate it for you.
  • Donating unwanted items, if they are useable, we are happy to take them for you and donate to the local charity of your choice. We can also junk your unwanted items too. Ask the office staff for details on junk removal and donation. 


Getting rid of stuff


We can’t overstate just how much easier your move will be if you organize your belongings and toss, recycle, or donate what you don’t need instead of lugging it with you to your new home. It’s an undertaking, but these tips can help you do it.

  • Do a closet purge. If it doesn’t fit, is out of style, and/or you haven’t worn it in a year, get rid of it.
  • Get rid of items you wouldn’t buy again. When deciding whether an item serves a purpose in your life ask yourself whether you would go out and spend money on it if you didn’t already have it. If you wouldn’t, you likely don’t need it.
  • Make donation pick-up arrangements. If you know you’ll be donating big items like furniture and rugs, when you schedule your move with us let us know ahead of time so you can be sure you have an organization, for us to make the donation. 
  • Consider short term storage. If there are some items that you just can’t commit to getting rid of yet but you’re not sure you need, you may want to put them in a short-term storage unit and then evaluate later on.

How to pack for a move


Packing to move might just be the most time consuming part of the whole process. Our best packing tips for moving are all about cutting corners so that you can save yourself time while still making sure that your belongings are protected. With that in mind, here are the packing hacks for moving you need to know for a smoother move.

  • Don’t empty out your dresser drawers. Take the drawers out of the dresser, leave the items in there, and secure them by wrapping up the drawer in plastic wrap. If it’s not too heavy, you can leave the drawers in the dresser and just wrap up the dresser itself in plastic wrap. We are professional movers we can move it all. 
  • Leave your clothes on the hanger. Keep clothes on their hangers and either group them up and wrap them in large garbage bags or hang them in a wardrobe box, or large plastic bags.
  • Put your linens, towels, and other soft items to use. Wrap up breakables like glasses or perfume bottles in socks for serious padding, and use linens and towels to provide cushioning for fragile, difficult to wrap items like lamps and vases. In the kitchen, use dish towels to securely wrap up knives and other sharp objects, securing them on there with a rubber band. We are professional movers and we carry moving pads and plastic wrap on every truck, free for your use. 
  • Use pots to hold small items. Instead of wasting additional boxes for small kitchen items like spices and gadgets, fill up your large pots and other sealable containers with them. You’ll save a ton of space.
  • Wrap a small bit of plastic wrap around things that might spill. Prevent spills in transit by using plastic wrap to secure the lids of things like soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, and other items you don’t want poured out all over your things.
  • Pack your suitcases. You can get away with packing a lot of heavy things in suitcases since their wheels make them easy to move. Use suitcases to pack things that aren’t so easily transported in boxes, such as books and heavy serving dishes.
  • Color code boxes. Save time with your box labeling by picking up a sheet of different colored stickers and assigning each color a room. That way, you’ll be able to identify what needs to go where super quickly, and you won’t have to hunt for the marker every single time you seal up a box.
  • Put together a moving essentials bag. Pack a small duffle bag or suitcase with the items you’ll need access to during your move and right after you’ve arrived at your new place, such as important documents, medications, chargers, basic toiletries, a couple changes of clothes, etc.


Moving Day


Moving day itself is super tiring—and it be super stressful, too. These moving hacks will help you get through it.

  • Pack a cooler. Stock a cooler with easy-to-grab items that can keep your strength up throughout the day, like water bottles and quick snacks. Move it with you in the car instead of the moving truck so you can access it whenever you need to.
  • Have a plan for little kids and pets. If your kids are too young to help on moving day, your best bet is to have them hang out with friends or family to relieve a bit of your stress and keep them safe. The same goes for pets. If you can, arrange alternate plans for your little ones and your furry ones—you’ll all be happier.
  • Be packed up the day before moving day. Last minute packing can slow down your entire day. Make it a goal to be completely packed before your movers arrive or it’s time to pick up the rental truck. That way, you can focus right away on accomplishing the task at hand.


Last minute moving hacks


Having lots of time to plan, prep, and execute your move is great, however it doesn’t always work out that way. Follow these moving and packing tips if you’re in a hurry.

  • Start with logistics. Figure out how you’re getting from point A to point B before doing anything else. You can wing a lot of things with moving, but not this.
  • Pack now and sort later. Now it the time to pack, not think. Take care to properly wrap valuables, breakables, and sharp items, but don’t put pressure on yourself to organize or label your boxes—you’ll figure it all out later when you’re not on a tight deadline.
  • Leave some tasks to the movers. When working with a us, you can offload some of the tasks to them, such as wrapping up furniture and getting last-minute into boxes. Just be prepared that this may tack on some time, and thus some cash, to your final bill.


Unpacking


You’ve finally arrived, but there’s still more to be done. Here’s how to stop procrastinating and speed up the unpacking process.

  • Start with the kitchen. Getting the kitchen done first will give you a big sense of accomplishment right off the bat and allow you to fully focus on the easier-to-unpack rooms.
  • Give yourself a deadline. Schedule a housewarming party or a more casual get together for a few weeks after your move to provide yourself with a set end date for having all of your unpacking done.
  • Put on some tunes. Music makes everything better. Skip the TV (it will just be a distraction) and put on some good tunes to entertain yourself while unpacking and provide a much-needed distraction from the monotony.
  • Do a little bit at a time. Don’t stress yourself out trying to get every single box unpacked right away. Get the major things done, and then focus instead on doing what you can as you can, devoting just ten or fifteen minutes at a time to unpacking instead of feeling like you need to spend hours on it. It will all get done eventually.
  • Give yourself no choice. Feeling a bit sadistic? Dump out a box worth of stuff onto your bed or in your bathtub so that you have no choice but to clear it all out and put everything away if you want to get use out of your space.
  • Get rid of boxes as you empty them. As soon as a box is emptied of all its items, break it down and recycle it. This will give you a physical marker of progress and clear up much-needed space in your new home. We will gladly pick them up for free, just give us a call, they must be useable. 
  • Have a plan for food. Let’s get real here: you’re not going to want to be cooking while also settling in and unpacking. Give yourself the gift of guilt-free takeout so you can focus more on everything else that needs to get done.

Moving hacks are all about making things just a bit easier on yourself. Follow the ones above and you’ll notice that, this time around, maybe your move isn’t quite as bad as you expected it to be. Moving questions ? Give us a call today at 321-256-2525.

Do You Need Tip Movers?

 

First, let’s talk about whether or not tipping movers is even necessary. Is it customary to tip movers still? Isn’t that an outdated practice moving tips?

Movers in Melbourne do hard work and spend hours every day lifting heavy items in and out of vehicles so a tip is gratefully received and means the world to your moving crew. A tip lets your movers know that you recognize the hard work they’ve done for you and that you appreciate their labor. Keep in mind, movers are in the service industry, so their base pay is usually reduced in anticipation for tips

The truth of the matter is unless you received absolutely horrendous service, it is always polite to tip your movers. While it’s true that they are getting paid to help you move, a small sum to express your gratitude for their hard work will make their day.

So, the final verdict is that, yes, out of courtesy for your professional moving crew, you should always try to include a tip for them to let them know that you value the hard work and time that they’ve spent completing your relocation.

Now that you know you should tip your movers, how can you know what amount to tip them? Continue reading to learn what factors should be considered when determining how much to tip your movers. moving questions?
