Moving can be stressful, these tips can help turn this stressful time in to a stress free experience. Here is a checklist for moving your home and family:

∙ Make a list.
Write everything down! You’ll thank yourself later. Before you pack your first box, create a simple record keeping system.

∙ Have plenty of packing supplies.
You will need LOTS of boxes–probably more than you think, and having enough boxes will make your life easier!

(Your local moving company has a wide array of boxes for all your moving needs.)

Have about 10 boxes set aside to use for last minute items on moving day, such as bedding, clothing, and cleaning supplies. You’ll need strong plastic packing tape to close up the boxes securely. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to wrap and cushion household good. Again, you’ll need lots more supplies than you think, so get extra so the packing can go smoothly.

∙ Use wardrobe boxes.
These tall boxes are perfect for bulky, lightweight items such as comforters, pillows, and blankets, as well as clothes that need to remain hanging.

They are also great for closet storage boxes, shoe boxes, and other bulky items such as large baskets, or gift wrap tubes. Don’t make the boxes too heavy to lift though!

∙ Coordination.
Designate a color for each room in the new home, such as yellow for kitchen, orange for dining room, etc. Apply colored stickers on the box near the box number. In your new home. Put a matching sticker on the door to each room. The movers will know where to put everything when they arrive at the destination. It’s also helpful to post a big sign on the wall in the room where you want boxes stacked, (“Boxes here please”) to keep them out of furniture and traffic areas.

∙ Trust the experts…
If you are moving a piano or a vehicle in Burbank CA, or surrounding areas, then call a company that are expert piano movers or auto transport experts. Don’t just trust “guys” who say they can move it for you. It will cost more in the long run.

∙ Pack ahead.
Anything you can pack ahead will save you time on moving day. If it’s summer, get your winter clothes out of the way. Pare down cooking utensils and food supplies to bare essentials.

∙ Consolidate
If you must clean your old place after moving out, keep basic cleaning supplies together in a cleaning bucket so everything is close by for those last minute clean ups.

∙ Moving across country?

It is best to contact a long distance moving company that has experience in moving your belongings long distances. Be certain that they are insured, licensed, and bonded movers.

If you are traveling long distances and have children or pets, be certain that you plan out a route, call hotels and scope out rest areas and restaurants along your route. Have plenty of water, snacks, and activities to keep your kids and pets happy and healthy on the journey.

∙ Moving Internationally?

Again, the key to a stress free moving experience is to contact someone who understands international shipping. A logistic expert can handle the paper work and bureaucratic process for a variety of countries, as many companies have different restrictions on cargo entering their country.
