A guide to use small moving service

Guide and advice to make and organize a move

Organizing a move can be very simple if you are proactive, organized, and use an experienced  Small Moves company. Here are some tips to make the process easier for you. In the first place, it is essential to optimize time, both in the previous preparations: packaging and classification of personal belongings; as in the transfer and transport of belongings and furniture.

Moving home, in general, conveys a negative connotation to us because the thought it gives is that it is a long and tedious process. However, with this guide, you will see that it can be “setting and singing”.

Tips on organizing the moving service

The first thing you should do is make a list of how you are going to organize the boxes: what you are going to put in each one, how you are going to identify them, what should be classified as fragile… After this:

Organize your time

Make a plan of how you are going to organize the move by days, which does not take a lot of time, is bearable, and allows you to continue with your usual life. If unforeseen events arise, which is possible, it will be more bearable with a good organization.

Organize things by category, not by room

Box all your clothes together, regardless of which room they come from. It is better that there are 5 boxes with all the family’s clothes than 20 boxes in which they are mixed with other types of things, this will make the search difficult later. You can also classify them by subcategories: seasonal clothing, bedspreads, quilts, Christmas decorations…

Take the opportunity to throw away or donate everything you have left over.

Over the years we all accumulate gifts that we do not like or items that we no longer use because we have grown tired of them. When we make a move, it is time to eliminate all the useless things, in order to facilitate it and perhaps have fewer objects in our new home. You can get rid of them by throwing them away or donating them, for other people to put to use.

Evaluate your furniture to see if you can disassemble it yourself or if you need to use a specialist. Furniture that is more modern, purchased in the last 20 years, is usually easy to disassemble. In general, with a kit of basic tools you can easily disassemble them, but the situation is complicated if they are old, and we recommend that you contact a specialist.

Hire an experienced moving company

Having a recognized moving company will prevent you from having to do 100% of the work, distress your family or ask friends for favors. As much as you rent a van, someone will have to carry the boxes and furniture. A moving company has adapted vehicles and qualified personnel. Likewise, we process the permits to load and unload and we make the transfer with maximum security.

How is the process of transporting a move?

Contact a moving company

When you contact us, we ask you a series of questions to adjust, both in technical means and in price, to the ideal service you need.

The information we need is: If there is an elevator or not, and what are the exact addresses of origin and destination. This is because they are factors, along with the amount and type of things you want to move, that affect the budget and with which we see if your home is easily accessible or not, among other things. With them, our technical team makes an assessment of the means and materials necessary to carry out an ideal move.

Establish the type of budget for your move

We analyze with a technician the list of furniture, fixtures, etc. that you provide us, or if it is a medium or large volume service, we make a technical visit to your home, without any cost or commitment, so that our technicians can see in first person the number of things you want to move and they can give you a budget. In the first case, you will be provided with an approximate budget, since it will be you who will provide us with the most specific description of the goods and not one of our technicians who will review it, in the second case, you will be given an exact budget. All this for free, agreeing in the event that the visit is necessary, the day and time that best suits you.
