Check out these five tips to use as your moving date approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1: Get Rid of Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The less stuff you have, the less you\u2019ll have to pay the movers to move. Plus, it saves you from starting at your new space with too much clutter. Take as much as you can to recycling or donate items to a thrift store, so you are only moving the items you truly need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #2: Gather and Pack Your Jewelry and Valuables&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your valuables with you is a good idea. For peace of mind and security, pack these items safely in special boxes you will keep with you. Avoid putting valuables in storage or larger boxes with other items. Instead, pack them in their own special box and take it with you in your vehicle during the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #3: Label Boxes for the Items You Want to Load Last<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be specific items you will want to keep with you until the last minute before loading up and driving away. These items include toiletries, medications, a change of clothes, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies. By setting aside and labeling a box for these items, your movers will know that it\u2019s the last one to load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #4: Clear a Path for the Movers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your movers will appreciate having a clutter-free path to enter and exit your home during the move. While the space is sure to get a little crowded with boxes, you can clear a path for them to move safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #5: Be Present and Available for Questions on Moving Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movers may have questions for you or need your direction on moving day. Make sure you are present and available to avoid confusion or problems during the moving process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plan for a Smooth Residential Move with Nilson Van<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things you can do to ensure the moving process exceeds your expectations is hire the right professional team for the job.
