Great Tips on Planning a Furniture Removal
Moving from one place to another can be quite a traumatising
experience. Moving all the heavy pieces of furniture, keeping an
eye on the workers to make sure they don't break anything,
packing all your things, then unpacking them, arrange
everything... these can turn out to be a heavy ordeal. But this
whole moving operation could be completed without big headaches
if you plan it carefully in advance. Here are a few tips you
should apply whenever considering the possibility of a furniture
removal operation.
The planning should start a month ahead the moving day. Start
gathering all kind of necessary moving supplies like tape, boxes
or rope. Get some newspapers for the breakable things if you
don't want to spend money on bubble wrap. Always make the
necessary travel/transportation arrangements ahead. If you plan
to move in another city far away, you should contact airlines to
make the necessary arrangements. You should also call more
airline companies to get the best price and the best
transportation conditions.
After doing this, look for a furniture removal company. Check
more furniture removal companies, as they have different price
and different facilities for transportation.
But the most important thing you should be doing before moving
is to arrange for your mail to be delivered to the new
residence. Contact all your friends, relatives, family etc to
inform them on your new address. Inform the bank and other
financial institutions on your new residence details. Ask the
post office to forward your mail to the new address. Look for a
new doctor/dentist/vet in the new area that you are about to
move into.
Two weeks before starting the furniture removal, inform your
utilities companies of your change of address. And contact the
utilities companies at your new residence to sign up for their
services. Confirm the moving or travel arrangements and start
packing all the things that can be packed in advance.
The day before the moving day, make sure you haven't packed the
moving supplies (meaning the tape or the bubble wrap). Make sure
you have put the most important things (documents, checks, money
or jewellery) in a bag that you will keep with you at all times.
And, during the furniture removal day, remember that losing your
calm will not help. So try to stay calm, breath deep whenever an
unfortunate accident (like breaking your favourite china)
happens.
Good luck with your furniture removal operation!
