Office relocation often means plenty of stress, backbreaking work and lost revenue. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Nilson has been performing corporate moves for over 70 years. Our teams of movers know the best tips and tricks for the most efficient moves. Keep reading for our best tips for streamlining your upcoming office relocation.

To Empty Desks or Not Empty Desks?

One of the questions we get most often is whether clients need to empty desks and filing cabinets prior to moving. The good news is that the answer is typically no. If your drawers can lock, make sure to lock them. We can also use plastic wrap to secure drawers closed. This can save you a lot of hassle and cardboard boxes during your move.

What Else Can You Do to Streamline Your Move?

Wrap cables and wires neatly and secure the bundles with a zip tie or rubber band. Be careful not to pack boxes too heavy to lift. Remember to tape boxes closed. If someone drops the box, the tape will keep items inside.

Make the unpacking process easier with a uniform system for labeling boxes. Then, use the same labeling system on the desks and office doors at the new location. This makes it easy for your movers to figure out where each box and piece of furniture goes.

If you are a family facing a military move for the first time, you probably have a hundred questions. Who can move your belongings? How long will relocation take? How much of the cost will the military cover? How can you get reimbursed? Here’s what you need to know about allowances and covered expenses for your upcoming military move.

There are several options and programs for military expenses. What they will cover and how much money they offer depend on many factors. Contact your family center relocation manager to maximize your military moving benefits. In the meantime, here are a few of the most common covered expenses for military moves:

• Perhaps the most common program is the Dislocation Allowance (DLA). It helps cover miscellaneous moving expenses for each assigned move. The maximum allowance for DLA changes each year.
• If you can drive from your current duty station to your new one, the Monetary Allowance in Lieu of Transportation (MALT) program currently reimburses military families $0.17 per mile, per authorized vehicle.
• In addition, a per-diem allowance will help you cover the cost of meals and lodging while your family travels from one duty station to another.
• You may also qualify for Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) or Temporary Lodging Expense (TLE). These are available to military families who stay in temporary lodging while they wait for their permanent home to be ready for move-in.
