Moving your entire life from one home to another is a big job. Fortunately, there are ways you can make this job easier. Consider these three tips when planning your next move.
If you are driving a moving truck and you do not have an extra adult to drive your vehicle or you own multiple vehicles and do not want to caravan to your new home, you can ship your car instead of making a second trip or towing it. A secure auto shipping service can deliver your vehicle to your new home and save you the trouble of attempting to tow it behind an unfamiliar truck or arranging for someone to drive it.
If you need moving boxes, some companies will sell them to you, but you can avoid that extra expense by picking up some free boxes. Recycling drop-offs are a good place to check for usable boxes discarded by other people. If you ask, local grocery, liquor and department stores may let you have their shipping boxes. Check Craigslist for people who are giving away their used moving boxes. If you still have some time left before your move, save the boxes from anything you have had shipped to your house.
One of the easiest ways to take some of the work out of moving is to move less stuff. Anything that you are not using that you can sell or give away, do so. Local charities may be willing to come to pick up larger items, such as furniture, if they require donations.
Moving can be a real hassle, but with some planning, you can make the task more manageable. These three tips can help take some of the work out of your next move.
