Most people prefer to move during holidays when they do not have a lot on their plate. However, the ongoing festivities could easily complicate the moving process. Below is a guide with some holiday moving tips.
Book Early
Many other people will want to move during the holidays. Therefore, removalists are likely to be occupied during the season. As such, the removal costs could skyrocket due to increased demand. The secret is to make an early booking with your preferred removalist.
If you're getting ready to move, you might be worried about the possibility of your furniture being damaged during the moving process. You might have spent a lot of money on your furniture, or you might have furniture that you inherited and that has a lot of sentimental value for you. If you're worried about your furniture being damaged while being moved, a furniture removalist service can help you prevent this from happening.
Moving house comes with a few logistical challenges and some of those challenges come from fragile items. Whether it's your favourite Christmas bauble or a cherished family heirloom, you'll need some tips when it comes to storing and moving them.
Don't Skimp on Packaging
Protecting a fragile item always means using plenty of packaging. Assess how fragile each item is and use liberal amounts of bubble wrap to protect it. Bubble wrap offers cushioning through a combination of plastic and air, which means fragile items are less likely to break.
Here are some tips to follow when working with a residential removalist.
Update them if the quantity or overall volume of the items you're moving changes
When you book this service, the residential removalist will either visit your home and assess your possessions or will ask you to describe the categories and quantity of items you'd like them to move. After this conversation, they'll then know how many of their employees they'll need to send to your home to move your items, as well as what size van they should use and how long, approximately, the move will take.
As moving day approaches, you might ask yourself the question that many people ask themselves when it's time to move house—can't you just do the work yourself? After all, how hard can it be? You might have a friend with a heavy vehicle licence who can drive a rented truck, and you have other friends who can help with the heavy lifting. After all, many hands make light work. But you also need to consider that these hands should also be sufficiently strong and skilled.
