Professional Moving Services Make Long Distance Moves a Breeze

Posted on by

Whether you are moving across the state or across the country, relocating comes with a host of challenges. While moving around the block or to the other side of town can be a nuisance, actually having to pick up your life and transport your things thousands of miles can be an absolute nightmare. However, there is a way to relieve the burden, and prevent your stress level from rapidly rising.   By hiring a professional moving company to handle your long distance move, you can severely lighten your load, and turn your focus to other pressing matters that naturally come with moving to a new city.

In many ways, using a professional moving service for a long distance move is even safer than moving down the street.  This is because your belongings are shipped by themselves and not mixed in with any other packages.  Once your new home is ready, moving across the country doesn’t have to be an arduous process.  You can even schedule your things to arrive on the same day that you do, allowing you to get settled into your new place right away.

The Benefits of a Moving Sale

Posted on by

A few weeks ago, we brought you four major advantages to hiring moving professionals. We determined that with these benefits, you could save yourself a ton of money in the end. Additionally, hosting a successful moving sale will help with any added costs you have to squeeze into your budget.

While it may be difficult to get rid of some of your belongings, a moving sale can benefit you more than just financially. Being harsh when making your cuts will lighten your moving load, and will help  you get into your new place faster. Also, escaping from the pile of clothes you’ll never wear again is unbelievably liberating.

Don’t just throw a table on your lawn and treat it like a garage sale though, put a little extra effort into your sale and you’ll be impressed at the results.

Tips for a Successful Moving Sale

First, separate some of the nicer things you plan to sell, and see what the eBay market is like. Don’t forget that we’re living in the digital age- so many people are thrifting and antiquing online now.

Don’t find yourself without enough change, if you can’t make change for a twenty dollar bill- chances are your potential customer will just say “oh, never mind”.

Price the objects to sell, not to make money. After all, these are your hand-me-downs, so don’t expect top dollar pricing for these things.

Try to categorize tangibles by use or room, making the browsing easier. Doing this will keep people at your sale interested and focused.

Make bulk deals and discounts for those purchasing a few objects, this will save them money and ensure you get rid of everything, including things they might have been on the fence about

It’s amazing what a bit of public marketing can do, tell your neighbors and friends about the sale when you announce your move. You can also ask your kids or friends to help you make signs, directing traffic to your moving sale.

A great way to ensure that you sell everything that must go- is to have the sale a month early. This way, you can try a second attempt with lower prices, and you may get an entirely new crowd! If you have any excess tangibles, donate them to a local thrift store, because you’re still rewarding yourself by clearing the clutter.

Top 5 Moving & Storage Supplies

Posted on by
  1.     Boxes & Permanent Markers – You can never have too many boxes! Cardboard boxes are a great way to organize your things and once they are all packed and ready to go, boxes stack and store much easier than bags. Use your permanent maker to label the box and you are good to go!
  2.    Packing Tape – Duct tape can virtually fix anything, and packing is no exception! Tape up your boxes and make sure they are secure. Clear packing tape also works great for packing up your boxes. Keep a few extra rolls around; you never know how much you will need until you run out!
  3.   Wrappings – Newspapers, bubble wrap, packing blankets and moving pads are ideal to keep your belongings safe during the move. Bubble wrap and newspapers are great for your smaller belongings, whereas the moving pads and packing blankets will help keep your lager items and furniture safe.
  4.    Flat- Bed Cart – These are great for hauling larger items from one end of the house to the other. Instead of dragging one box at a time, a dolly will make it possible to move multiple boxes, cutting down on your moving time.
  5.   Sturdy Storage Lock – If you are moving your belongings into a storage unit, investing in a good self-storage lock is not to be overlooked. With the amount of time you took in packing your belongings, you will want to keep them safe.
