Moving has been rated as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but proper planning and a moving checklist can help you to make a hassle-free relocation with your family.

Get moving company quotes in writing from at least three reputable service providers. Find out if they are licensed and insured and call up references to check on their past performance.

It pays to search for a reputable moving company, rather than to choose a moving storage service only on the basis of the lowest bid. If you get a moving quote that is a lot lower than the rest, check to see if there are some hidden charges involved.

Find out if your employer will pay for your move and decide about the type of moving service you can afford. Full service moving offers the most convenience, but it is the most expensive option.

Full service movers will pick up your possessions from inside your old home and deliver them inside your new home. They will even do your packing and unpacking for an extra charge.

Self service moving is a very convenient option, which is cheaper than full service moving and slightly more expensive than driving a rented truck to the destination. The moving service will drop one or more weather-resistant moving containers at your home.  

After you have finished packing, you can put your lock on the container and keep the key. The moving & storage service will collect it deliver it at your new home when you are ready to unpack. You can also ask for a 28’ trailer to be dropped at your home and pay for the space you actually use.

Driving a rented moving truck may seem to be a lot cheaper, but don’t forget about the money you will have to spend on gas, tolls, motels, and food on the way. It will take quite a lot of time and you will have to do all the hard work yourself. You can hire some moving help to assist you with the heavy lifting and driving.

The cheapest option may be to transport your things as freight. This is a kerb to kerb service and you will have to do all the packing, loading, and unloading yourself.

If you are doing the packing yourself, buy high quality boxes for moving and moving supplies and start packing non-essential items as early as possible. Packing is much easier if you pack a few boxes moving every day.

Use color-coded labels to ensure that each box will be placed in the room for which it is meant in your new home. Make a floor plan of your new home and mark the positions where you want your furniture and appliances to be placed. Give a copy to the movers.
