A long distance move requires quite a bit of preparation. In addition to finding the perfect home in another city or state, you have to choose a moving company to transport the contents of your old home to your new home. These tips can help you get ready before the movers arrive to make moving day easier for your family and your Affordable Long Distance Movers.
As it gets closer to moving time, avoid shopping at the grocery store. Try to eat as much of the food that you already have in your home as possible. By not going grocery shopping, you can save money and reduce the amount of food you will have to pack or throw away before the move. Because you cannot easily transport perishable food items for several hours, try to cook everything in your refrigerator and freezer in the weeks before your move. If your moving company charges by the pound, eating or donating all of the canned goods in your home before you move can save you money.
While it’s a bad idea to buy extra food for your home, buying snacks for your family to eat during the car ride may save you time and money. By packing grapes, apples and orange slices, your family can stay hydrated during the drive without needing to stop for frequent bathroom breaks. If you have children, be sure that they have in-car entertainment such as books, CDs or even movies to watch so they don’t get restless on the long car trip.
Verify the time your moving truck will arrive at your new home. If the movers will arrive before you and will be expected to begin unloading before you arrive, be sure that they have a key to your new home and that they are paid in full before they begin the trip. In most cases, you will need to be at the new house before the movers will unload the truck so you can verify that everything arrived safely. Though you don’t have to follow the truck, try to arrive around the same time as your Affordable Long Distance Movers to avoid additional expenses.
