Moving day, a day of excitement, stress and every emotion in between. Fortunately, our professionals here at All My Sons Moving & Storage have comprised a list of tips to make your move that much easier.

Moving Budget

This is a must before beginning any move. Stick to it; having the list and not using it can leave you open to unexpected financial problems once the move is complete. Some things to include in your budget:

Consider Insurance

-You’re moving your personal possessions. Alleviate stress by knowing your items are covered.

Moving Company Costs

-This can vary based on the service, how much inventory you have, the distance of the move, etc.

Extra Costs

-Consider your inventory, but look for special items like furniture, a piano and any other fragile large items. Also consider your costs for packing supplies in Fort Myers.

Wiggle Room

-It is important to leave yourself some extra cash. Often times, unexpected costs or events can occur. It is always better to have a little what if or just-in-case money for those unexpected moments. It also doesn’t hurt to have extra money if your wiggle room stash is not used.

Create an Inventory List

Many times, families moving have a very large inventory and don’t make a check list of all their items. Although the move may be successful, weeks later you’re scrambling once you’re unpacked and don’t know where the missing items are. With the help of your checklist and marking down everything that has been put in the moving trucks, you can eliminate the hassle of searching for your items, save valuable time and even prevent losing items.
