Tips for a Smooth Moving Experience

Moving is often one of the most-dreaded experiences on anyone’s to-do list—however, the right strategy can drastically improve the ease of moving to your new apartment. Taking steps to prepare for your move well in advance of moving day is the key to a successful and easy moving experience. Keep reading to discover just a few of the tasks you can perform before your move so you can sit back and relax as soon as the last box has been placed in your new apartment home.

Call Movers and Services Well In Advance
The best way to ensure everything is ready to go on moving day is to start making calls as soon as you know you’re going to move. Contact a number of local movers for estimates so you can compare rates and choose the ideal moving service for you. Especially if you are moving at a busy time of year, the earlier you call, the more movers you will have to choose from. If you’re going to be moving on your own with the help of friends and family, it doesn’t hurt to call them as early as possible, either. Giving your helpers enough time to request the day off or make other arrangements will ensure you’ll have the total number of hands you expect on moving day. In addition to setting up your moving services, you’ll also need to contact your current and future electricity, water, and internet or cable providers. Let your current providers know when to turn off your service and set up your new services for the day you move in. Scheduling these changes in advance will ensure that your water, power, and other services are ready in your new apartment as soon as you need them.

Pack a First Night Box
Planning ahead for your first night in your new apartment can provide you with the perfect end to a smooth moving day. Keep in mind that immediately after your move, you may not know where specific items or boxes are located. Packing a first night box with all the necessities you’ll need right off the bat means that you won’t need to go searching for toiletries, clothes, or other necessities on your first night. Items you should pack include toilet paper, paper towels, a shower curtain, your toiletries, pajamas and at least one change of clothes, bedding and pillowcases, and any chargers you may need, such as those for your laptop or cell phone. Keep your first night box in your car so it stays separate from the rest of your boxes during the moving process; this will make it easy to find at the end of a long day when you’re ready to kick back and relax.
