Oviedo, Florida Moving Company
If you are staying in Central Florida, or Orlando, or Washington DC or even Baltimore and are looking to move up or down the east coast, you will have to plan about your move. You can approach professional moving companies to give you free quotes before you can start your planning.
Long distance moves can be particularly difficult to plan because they involve a lot more than simple packing, loading and unloading. Experienced movers will help you with this. It would be advisable to follow these steps before you set out for your long distance move.
Pack your belongings with extra care
Long distance moves mean traveling a long stretch on different road conditions. A number of workers will handle your belongings. Remember, the truck in which the items will be shipped may experience jerking. All your items should be wrapped properly and packed in well-cushioned boxes. Seal and secure each box properly. Do not keep any item loose.
Get your belongings insured
All your belongings must be insured for the move. Long distance moves can involve some amount of risks. Your items may get damaged or misplaced. Insurance will help you file a claim against the damaged or misplaced item. You will feel a lot more peaceful if everything is covered. You can buy basic or full value coverage.
Keep personal documents with you
Personal documents or any such items that you may need immediately upon arrival at the new place should be kept with you. Also, it is a lot safer to have them with you and not leave them in a truck with unknown people who will be bringing your belongings. Any kind of ID, tax papers, bank statements, and so on should be carried with you.
Be ready for a ‘delivery window’
Because you are moving across states, the truck will have to go through various check points and take sufficient breaks along the journey. Your mover will not be able to give you an exact date of arrival. They will give you a delivery window. It can be anything between 5 to 20 working days. Check your contract for this. So be prepared and carry any essential belongings and extra clothes with you.
Pack in an organized manner
Organize your belongings while packing. Keep the same kind of things together. Kitchen items should not be packed with decoration pieces. Medicines should be kept separate. Books should not go with toys. Pack a box separately that will have the things that you will need immediately upon arrival at the new place. And most importantly, mark and label the boxes clearly. Mark any fragile boxes with extra care. Put your name on each box.
Don’t pack food or liquids
Don’t pack food or liquids in any form – perishable or non-perishable – and put them in the truck for shipping. They may get damaged, ruined and may attract insects and other problems.
