1. Determine a budget in advance. Are you still not sure whether you want to outsource the move or want to do it yourself? If you are not sure about this yet, it is useful to set a budget for yourself in advance. When you receive moving offers, it becomes easier to decide whether this is worth it for you. Is the price of the quotations higher than the amount you want to spend on it? Then the choice is made quickly.

 

2. Consider when you want to move. Removal companies charge a higher rate on the weekend, and more are also charged for an emergency relocation. It is therefore advisable to set a date on time. Are you doing the move yourself? Then keep in mind the rush and the weather.

 

3. Give your address change in a timely manner. You must pass on your address change to a lot of authorities to prevent your mail being sent to the wrong address. Read here with whom you should pass on the move.

 

4. Start clearing and packing on time. When your move date is known, make sure you start cleaning up and packing your things on time. This probably takes more time than you expect, so start early. This is also the time to thoroughly clean up your belongings and dispose of items that you no longer use. A common mistake with a move is taking things that you have not used for years. You can keep these items separate and donate to a good cause, or have them collected by the cycle. Think of it as a win-win situation, you are rid of your unnecessary stuff and someone else might be very happy with it.

 

5. Ensure sufficient filling and packing materials. When packing boxes, you need filling and packing materials to protect your belongings. Think of newspapers, leaflets, bubble plastic, kitchen paper, and polystyrene foam. You can use this to roll in your items (such as crockery and glassware) so that they do not damage them. You also have to fill boxes with newspapers or leaflets, to ensure that the items in the box can not move. Tidying up and packing things for moving

 

6. Organize your boxes. When packing, make sure you have label stickers at hand to provide each box with a label. This will make it easier to place all boxes in the right space, which saves time when unpacking. In addition, make sure that you divide the weight. A box should be lighter than 20 kilos to prevent injuries. Put heavy items in the box and stack lighter items on top. An extra tip: put heavy items in a smaller box. This will prevent a box from becoming too heavy or half empty.

 

7. Make sure you have wardrobe boxes for your clothes. In a wardrobe box you can hang your clothes, so you do not have to fold up and put them in bags or boxes. You hang your clothes on the hanger from your closet in the wardrobe box, and from the box your (new) closet. The moving company can deliver this.

 

8. Measure your furniture. To make sure that your furniture fits through the door, it is advisable to measure everything. Do you live on a higher floor? Then a moving elevator can be a convenient option. Make sure that your furniture fits either through the window or through the door.

 

9. Keep medicines and valuables separate. You do not want to have to look for medicines that are somewhere at the bottom of a box. You can also keep valuables separate and transport them yourself, then you know for sure that these will be moved quickly and safely to your new home. An extra tip: also keep tools separate. You can quickly get started in your new home without first having to unpack boxes.

 

10. Remove desk trays or secure them. Desktop drawers can slide or slide out of the cabin while driving.

Changes in temperature and pressure can cause a leak and even an explosion. When this happens and someone gets hurt, you are liable.

Make sure they are upright during transport and that doors are properly closed.
