Moving tips – part 2

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Here’s some more moving tips for you, from Brytor International Moving. Got any of your own? Feel free to add them in the comments section.

- Contact your chosen moving company and make an agreement with them. Make sure that you really understand what is included and that your moving company has explained any additional costs.

- Make an earlier reservation. The summer time and end of the month are busier than at other times. Once booked your moving company will be able to provide you with a move schedule to help you plan the final stages of cleaning your home.

- Ensure all your personal documentation – passports, visas and travel tickets, temporary accommodation is kept separately and are not packed with the move. Label items for air, sea, storage, or ‘Do Not Move’

- Think of your pets, this is a very traumatic time. With doors open it is easy for a pet to run off. Make arrangements if required for a pet walker or kennels to look after your pet.
