Tips you need to know when moving
By BW Movers
Here are some important tips you need to know when moving to a new location.
1) Make sure to pack an overnight bag
There is a good chance that you will feel exhausted after the move. You can quickly locate your items by packing an overnight bag.
2) You can make a moving folder.
Moving folders are an excellent way to track all the important information you need during the move. You could include the name and contact information of your movers. Either a digital or hard-copy version of your moving folder is possible. Make sure that your appliances are fully charged if you decide to go digital.
3) Before you move, make sure to charge your appliances.
Moving can be overwhelming and there are always 100 things to do.
4) Internet access is essential for your new home.
Let’s face it, we all have an addiction to the internet. It is particularly useful if you need to find something ad-hoc (e.g. You can find the nearest home depot when you are moving or for background music to keep yourself energized.
5) Have a snack.
Moving your home can be tiring and time-consuming. It is worth having snacks prepared in advance to keep you going.
6) It is best to pack as early as possible.
Moving can be a tedious task. It’s not uncommon for a mysterious item to appear from under the couch or in the storage area that you need to bring along. It’s better to plan ahead than you think so that you are more ready for your move.
7) Get your moving company booked early.
Many home removal companies plan their moves weeks in advance. Trust us! Book in advance to increase your chances of getting the time slot that you desire, plan for costs, and avoid last-minute moves which can often be more expensive.
8)Wrap delicate and fragile items in clothing or bubble wrapping
It should be strong enough for you to move it around. To ensure that you take extra care of your items, let the movers understand which items need extra attention.
9) You should make sure that your boxes are always in good condition before moving.
Number all boxes to ensure you have enough and identify any that are missing.
- Contain a label (ie. Kitchen, bedroom, etc.)
- Colour-code your boxes
- Fill the spaces between your boxes with clothing
- Tape your boxes
10) Make sure to clean up your kitchen and bathroom before you move.
You won’t want to clean the bathroom or kitchen after you’ve finished moving. You can do this ahead of time and then you can relax once you are ready.
11) Use cling film to protect the liquid’s top.
Place a piece cling wrap over the opening of the bottle before you attach the lid. This will reduce spillage.
12) Pack plates vertically so they are less likely to be broken
Vertical packing of plates helps to withstand bumps.
13) To collect screws, nuts, and bolts in sandwich bags
To ensure you don’t lose any nuts and bolts, use sandwich bags. For bonus points make sure to include a note with the bag’s contents.
14) Take a photograph of your electronics.
Before you make your move, take a picture showing all the wires.
15) You can use a garbage bag to collect your clothes
You can pack your clothes the best way: press them all together, then put them in a trash bag.
Step 1: Put the clothes on their hangers. Press them together.
Step 2: Open the garbage can and tie it around the clothes.
Step 3: Now close it.
16) Before moving into your new location, make sure you take photos and videos.
Before you move into a rental place, make sure you take photos and record videos. It will be easier to keep track and monitor any changes made since you moved in.

7) Notify everyone who moves to your new address
You should change your address before you move. Contact your bank, your government, your utilities, and any subscriptions to get your new address.
18) Donate any items that you don’t want to keep, but are in good shape.
Ask a charity foundation to collect furniture you would like to donate a few weeks in advance.
19) You can hire a sitter to look after your family during the moving process.
Moving is stressful. You don’t want your children to feel this stress or get in the way.
20) Your fridge, freezer, and washing machine must be unplugged.
Make sure to unplug your refrigerator, freezer and washing machine a day prior to your move. The water will leak out. This will help prevent any damage to your stuff.
