Moving house is both fun and stressful. In the beginning you might think you can do it on your own, especially when you have a long weekend to yourself. But when you get down to the practical aspects, the whole story turns different. That’s when you realise the importance of house shifting service. The professionals not only create a strategic plan of action for the move, but they will also break down the task into smaller chunks so it will no longer feel like one giant, dreaded task. In this blog by Candid Movers, experts in moving and packing in Abu Dhabi, we will talk about this timeline and what you need do in the days prior to the move:
2–4 Weeks Before Moving Day: Plan and Prepare Your House Shift
This is where you plan and prepare the move. You can even reach out to a few moving companies for quotes. The movers and packers will work according to your schedule. First they will pick a moving date and then plan room by room and make a note of what needs to go where. You can also book early if you are moving during a busy month.
This is probably also the time when you decide on any goods that you want to discard because you no longer have use for them.
1 Week Before Moving: The Movers Will Pack and Make Final Arrangements
The movers will arrive at the location and start boxing the goods you need moved. They will label your boxes and categorize them so you don’t have to be overwhelmed by so many boxes around you and not knowing what to do with them.
It is also the time where you update your address with the bank, schools and other centers. Set up mail forwarding. Your movers will go over the moving plan to iron out any last details.
Before The Moving Day
Right before the moving day, you have to pack a small bag with essentials for at least one day’s stay. These include toothbrushes, chargers, a change of clothes, medicines etc.
Moving Day Checklist: On The Day Of The Move
On the day of the actual move, the movers will arrive at the appointed time and execute their plan for the day. They will bring all the packaging materials and boxes needed for the move. Once the moving is completed, they will check all the closets and cabinets to ensure nothing is left out. The movers will employ professional methods in moving your furniture and appliances safely. They will be secured inside climate-controlled transport vans. The moving day will have a supervisor to ensure the moving plan is adhered to.
The movers will maintain a tally of boxes leaving the house. If you’ve booked reliable house movers and packers you can actually relax. They will handle the heavy lifting, wrap fragile items properly and secure the truck so nothing shifts around during the drive.
After The Move: Unpacking and Inspection
Once the truck has reached the destination, the team will go ahead with the unpacking and unloading. They will unpack the essentials first, followed by all the rest of the stuff. Since everything is labelled and categorised prior to the move, there won’t be any mistakes in placing the goods.
Common House Shifting Mistakes That Can Delay Your Move
Moving mistakes are common when you do it on your own. Avoid them by entrusting the task to professionals:
- Putting off packing until the last minute, thinking you can do it on your own
- Underestimating just how much stuff has piled up over the years.
- Booking movers too close to the date usually means fewer choices and higher prices.
- Forgetting to measure furniture against doorways and stairwells
- Not taking prior permission from the housing management to use the elevators
- Not considering the parking rules of the building which can be tough when you need to bring it closer to where you stayed
