Pack early. First and most important advice from our experts is to pack everything as early as possible. If you hire professional Airdrie movers, they will come at least a week before the actual move in order to make sure that everything is packed and nothing is forgotten. If you are not an expert in packing, professionals advise to start a couple of month before the move for big houses, and at least a month for the smaller ones.
Start with the least needed rooms. This makes perfect sense! Movers will always begin packing form, for example, the kids’ room if your children are in university. In this way you will start packing and continue live in comfort without limiting yourself in any movements around the house. Begin packing some seasonal supplies or equipment that you are currently not using. Or you can begin this process from the garage. Any professional mover would confirm that in this way you can avoid any unnecessary chaos.
Pack one room at a time. This tip is very useful because it is convenient for both packing and unpacking processes. When you pack everything from one room at a time, you will not forget anything from it, and it will be much easier to unpack the things at your final destination. Movers say that this can help you stay organized and will also tell the movers, or anyone who will perform unloading, which boxes go where.
Declutter. Try to get rid of as many things as possible. Check all your stuff and take away all the useless items. Aidrie movers advise not to throw the useless things away but to make a garage sale to earn some money or to donate some things to those in need. Sometimes, your friends might need some things that you do not like – so ask and give them those things. There is also eBay, so your options are plenty. If you have friends helping you with your move, ask them whether they need anything you are planning to sell. After all, you’re not paying them and they should get something for all their troubles.
Do not make too heavy boxes. Professionals from Alberta-movers.com movers in Airdrie never pack the boxes which weight more than 15 kg because first of all they are too heavy for lifting, and secondly it is hard to find the boxes that can withstand such loads. They might simply break when being moved, or on the way to the truck. So the tip here is to never pack boxes heavier than 15-20 kg and to make sure that the heaviest objects are put at the bottom of the boxes so that heavier things will not damage or break lighter ones.
