Blog, Movers

Congratulations, you’ve done it! You have successfully moved your belongings to your new home, give yourself a pat on the back! Now, the next step before you can really feel at home is to unpack your boxes, which is confusing and challenging to most people. How do you even begin unpacking all these boxes? Where to begin unpacking? First, you and your family will need to take a tinkle, so unpack the toilet paper, hygiene products, etc. Take your dogs for a walk to relieve them as well. Your first thing to unpack should be perishables: anything that should be kept frozen or refrigerated, medications that require cooling, etc. The next steps on moving day Beds: get your and your children’s beds and sheets unpacked and ready for bed: children will be tired after moving day and need a place to lay their heads. Right after this, start unpacking your pet’s beds, to make them feel safe at home. After moving day Kitchen items should be a priority, as ordering take – out is not only expensive, it’s unhealthy. Clothes: Organize your wardrobe and the children’s wardrobe. Large furniture: Sofas, dining room table & chairs, etc. Entertainment: TV, coffee maker, internet router, etc. This is less important than your bed, but makes you feel more at home Home office: In case you work from home, make this a priority and organize your home office.

Choosing Moving Insurance, Suited For You

Blog, Movers

Have you ever moved without insurance, getting your valuables damaged? The best way to avoid the heart ache is to get insurance, but how do you choose from all there is to offer? This is our simple guide to help you pick the right one. The first thing to note, is that moving insurance isn’t actually insurance: it’s called valuation. This is because moving companies aren’t licensed to sell insurance, but they can form a valuation agreement, compensating you for your losses. Moving insurance coverage options: Trip transit insurance: covers personal property, including theft, disappearance or fire. Special perils contents coverage: covers breakage of all, except fragile items. Car insurance verification: covers shipping of automobiles. A floater: covers high value items, like jewelry, collectibles, china sets, etc. Storage insurance: in case you store valuable in a storage facility, check out the insurance options. Moving insurance protection: (liability) Full coverage protection: Will cover the value of the items (minus deductions) – get the money to get a new one, or get a replacement item. Released value protection: The bare minimum, included in the shipping fee of the long distance movers. This covers up to 60 cents per pound per item. This is the least recommended insurance, and will not compensate you well enough to avoid the headache. Separate liability coverage: in order to increase your released value protection, you can get a separate liability coverage, which will get you extra coverage, up to the limit of the policy you have. Don’t forget to get moving insurance, and best of luck in your new...

Moving Experience In Summer – What’s Important To Know?

Blog, Movers, Uncategorized

Some people prefer moving during winter months, but it’s rather rare, as most of the relocations happen in summer. As at any other time, there are aspects worth considering. Why don’t you have a look at them for a stressless moving experience?   The busiest time for movers. As mentioned before, summer is the most popular time for relocations. That means it’s better to hurry up with planning and booking a moving company.   The heat will interfere. Doing anything during the summer months is hard enough, so investing some time for making better conditions for you and the moving crew will improve and speed up the process. This is what’s worth preparing:   Cooldown the new house before moving. Imagine unloading boxes in the place with no AC working. You will make sure to put a reminder to turn on the air conditioner before the moving day. Choose proper clothing. Wearing a tank and shorts is not the best idea for a hot day, especially for carrying heavy boxes that may scratch the skin. If it’s an afternoon and the sun is hot, ensure to put long sleeves and chinos to avoid the sunburns. Stock Up Disinfectors. Coronavirus is still there, so this point is one of the top priorities. If you use a moving company’s service, they should have sanitizers in the truck, but taking extra precautions is our new reality. Prepare Sunscreen. A healthy dose of sun is just 15 minutes per day, and you probably will spend more time outside. That’s why we suggest using sunscreen in case of being exposed outside for too long....
