You're getting ready to move - to a new home or an affordable self-storage facility - but you've still got a whole month ahead of you. Plenty of time, right? Well, not really, because there's just so much to be done, starting with finding a moving or truck rental company.
Full-service moving companies will need more advance notice than companies that just rent trucks. They have to make sure they have a large enough crew available, and they have to allow time for travel to your destination and then back again. Availability is also affected by the time of year when you move.
When you're entrusting everything you own to someone else's care, you need to feel confident that you're dealing with a professional and reputable company. The more successful the company is, the more bookings they're likely to have, so it's crucial for you to get your reservation in early.
Sometimes it's not practical to move all of your belongings at once; for example, if your move is for a temporary job assignment, or if you'll be staying in rental housing for a certain period of time before moving on to your permanent residence. Self-storage facilities provide the perfect remedy in these situations, offering affordable and secure storage space for as long or short a time as you need.
If you can afford it, hiring a cleaning service is a huge help when you're moving. If you're renting, a professional cleaning crew can help pay for itself by ensuring you get all of your security deposit back.
At one month out you should also start comparison shopping for services you'll need or want in your new home, such as telephone, cable TV, and Internet access. Starting early can help you find the best bargain.
Getting a headstart on your moving chores is an easy and effective way to make the entire process less stressful.
