Choose from the best moving companies Edmonton offers, Helping Hands Family Moving. If you are getting ready for a move, here are some thoughts about what you need and what you need to do.
Before even choosing from the affordable moving companies Edmonton has, there are a few things to do that will make the whole process go a lot smoother.
Before any home moves, Edmonton residents should start the process by cleaning the house. A good friend of ours retired from military service and was moved back from Europe where he had been stationed with NATO. The German moving company applied their usual Teutonic thoroughness in packing up everything, including the trash under the kitchen sink, and made sure it was delivered with everything else to his new home in Edmonton!
The point of this little example is that you do not want to pay for moving things that you will probably throw away next year anyway. If they clean house before home moves Edmonton homeowners not only save on moving expenses but arrive at their new home with a lot less clutter weighing them down! Before looking for moving companies Edmonton homeowners need to host a garage sale make a few trips to donate things to a local charity.
Starting at least two months before moving, make a list including all subscriptions, organizations, and people who should be notified of your move. Get a change of address form from the postal service. Make sure that your bank, insurance agent, doctor, veterinarian, friends, and family all know when you are moving and your new address.
Another list you should make will include providers of utilities and other services such as your gas, electric, water, internet, cable, and telephone providers. Make sure to include services such as window cleaning, lawn care, and pest control so that you will not continue paying for services at your soon-to-be old address.
As the move draws near, take the time to segregate important things that you will need right away, do not want out of your sight, or are of such monetary or sentimental value that you want to take them by hand to your new home. Everything that you pack before the movers show up should be accurately labeled. Otherwise, you will spend hours on the receiving end looking through every box for a single necessary item. An “essentials box” should be packed and set aside before the movers arrive to start their packing. And you need to make sure to tell the movers to put that box where you can easily find it in your new home!
