Whether it’s your first move or your fifth, a little planning and preparation go a long way when it comes to moving. And who wouldn’t want their move to be less chaotic? Absolutely no one! If you’re planning for a move or know someone with an upcoming move, here’s how to get your home prepared for a smooth, stress-free transition.

Declutter, declutter, declutter!

Start with a pre-move declutter to make the move easier and less dramatic. Once you have an idea of what you are keeping and what you are donating or leaving behind, the faster and more efficient your move will be. This is a foolproof technique that even professionals recommend to their clients.

A “keep with me” bag of essentials

Think you accidentally packed away the essentials, such as medications, toiletries, chargers, quick-fix snacks, your child’s favourite toy, electronic gadgets, etc., and have no clue which box they went into. To avoid such a mayhem, it is better to keep them handy and pack a separate bag for them.

Pack what you can, or wait for the professionals.

If you are packing yourself, start packing early and label them clearly with what they contain and which part of the home they are going to.  If you are hiring professionals, don’t sweat it; they are going to do it for you the best way possible.

Clear pathways

Imagine you, your family, or even the professionals having to walk zig-zag or cross the doorways or pathways with a leap of faith while their hands are full. That’s why clearing the way is important. Consider arranging the packed boxes and the leftover mess elsewhere during the move.

Empty and unplug in advance.

Empty the fridge, cabinets, or wardrobe in advance. And unplug electronic devices and keep the cables and cords separate to avoid tangling. If you are unsure what to do and how to do it, it is better to wait for the professionals to handle it. Our team at Polaris Relocations is more than happy to assist you.

Communicate early!

Last, but not least, communicate with the moving company as early and as often as possible. Let them know your concerns, requirements, and demands so that they can prepare accordingly and make plans to avoid last-minute hassles, making your move day less chaotic and peaceful.
