Packing for a relocation locally or intrastate is one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks. Professional packing services will save you a lot of hassle and time, but you will need to prepare for those, too. Even tho the expert movers will take over the whole packing process, your responsibility will be preparing the house for them to come in and pack.
What are the things you can do to prepare your household for professional movers and packers to come in and do their magic? Let’s go over them.
Get Rid of Excess Stuff
What you surely won’t need in your new location are old items. Before relocating, we should all go through a serious purge. What are the pieces of furniture that are damaged, outdated, or too big for your new interior? What are the clothes, appliances, or other items you know you won’t need anymore? Go through your things and sort them into piles for donating, selling, or throwing away. The benefits of decluttering are numerous, and moving minimalism will save you money.
Make Inventory
Professional packers are doing their job well, but since those are strangers handling your private belongings, making an inventory list is the only logical thing to do. When you prepare a list of items that will be relocated, you will have a clear overview, without forgetting about some of them. That’s how you will track if something gets damaged or even lost.
Pack Bag of Essentials
Your relocation team can take care of everything else, but you can prepare a bag with your essential items for spending the first night in a new home, still not unpacked and sorted. You will need overnight items, toiletries, bed sheets, some clothes, or medication. Then you can let the pros do their work. We wish you a happy relocation.
