9 Tips to Speed Up the Moving Process By - https://www.msmoving.com/
Whether you’re moving across the country or across the street, moving takes time–a lot of it. Most of us are busy with work, school, or raising kids, and we simply don’t have the time for any part of the moving process to go wrong. Nothing’s worse than arriving at your new home only to spend hours digging through boxes and bags to find what you need. If you plan on moving to or from Utah in the near future or are going through the process right now, here are ten tips to help you speed up the moving process.
1. Label Boxes by Room Once you begin packing, be sure to label each box based on the room where it will be stored. This will help with unpacking because you can put boxes exactly where they belong immediately after unloading the moving truck, rather than creating a mountain of boxes in your living room. Labeling boxes by room is also helpful if you need to unpack certain kitchen or bathroom items right after arriving at your new home in Utah.
2. Get Rid of Unwanted Items If you don’t need every hair dryer, spatula, curling iron, or can opener that you own, toss it before moving day arrives. Each bulky item takes up space in boxes and bags during transit and takes up time when unpacking. Additionally, the spacing in your new home will be different, so you may not have room for everything. If you're hesitant to throw things out, consider donating your unwanted or unused items to goodwill.
3. Save the Most Important Items for Last The most time-consuming part of moving is unpacking. Packing smartly and creating an organized plan for what goes where will save you time and money when it comes to packing and unpacking. If there are items you may need as soon as you arrive, such as towels or cooking utensils, pack those last so they will be easily accessible to you.
4. Schedule Utility Services in Advance Before moving, call the utility companies in your new area to get your water, gas, electricity, and Internet running properly the day you move in. This way, you won’t be stuck in a new home in Utah with no power on moving day. In addition, making this preliminary call before hiring a moving company will save you money and time because you will be able to use your kitchen instead of eating out.
5. Hire a Moving Company Moving companies in Utah offer valuable services that make the moving process easier and less stressful for homeowners. For example, if you have large pieces of furniture or appliances that will not fit in your trailer, a moving company will help transport and unload your possessions for you. Plus, these companies have the expertise to protect fragile items during transit and ensure that all of your belongings reach your new home in a timely manner.
6. Get Your Medical Records before Moving Do not forget to get your medical records before moving so you can obtain information about any prescription medications you may need and take with you during your move. Some medications may not be available at the pharmacy where you will be located after moving to or from Utah, so it’s best to have that information before starting the moving process.
7. Create a Packing Station One way to make the moving process a little smoother and quicker is to create a “packing station” where you can sort, pack, and label your belongings. If a large part of the living room is empty, you can use this space as your packing station. A designated packing area will help keep the rest of your house clean and accessible and speed up the overall packing process.
8. Stick to a Schedule If you want to move quickly and efficiently, create a tight moving schedule and be sure to stick to it--don't let yourself get behind. Fill your days with boxes and packing tape, and ensure that everything is labeled. Then you can start to unpack!
9. Get a Moving Trailer If you can use a trailer for the move, renting one in Utah for about $50-$100 to move your heavier items is worth it. A moving trailer will help you transport large items such as furniture or appliances that would otherwise be difficult to move. Additionally, this will save room on your moving truck because these items would have otherwise been loaded separately from your personal belongings. When renting a trailer, be sure to measure the length of the largest furniture item so that it can fit in the trailer without scraping against the edges.
