Millennial-Friendly Moving Tips

Packing for a moveBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

So, you are truly adulting now--taking care of your first move devoid of the advantages of parental castoffs or funds. The very first thing you might have found regarding picking up sticks and moving could be that the expenses mount up extremely fast. The second thing tends to be that it will take crazy organizational expertise to get the things you own from point A to point B without mistaking your X-Box box for the Ninja box.
 

1) Make Use of Technology for Good

There are tons of apps to aid you to coordinate a move--they could track anything from your packing (save pictures of what you put in each carton) to starting up utilities (significant life skill) to hiring a moving company in Tulsa. You will be able to share the info with roommates or relatives so everybody is certainly in the know.

2) Low-Tech Often Rules for Moving

All the fantastic apps in the world won't be able to replace old-fashioned cartons along with packing tape. Here's a moving hint that you'll benefit from for the rest of your life--buy small boxes. For sure, you can get more stuff in a huge carton, however they get overweight very quickly. Plenty of small cartons will be more practical rather than a couple of huge ones.

So, you'll need boxes, tape (spring for the tape gun), plenty of newsprint or bubble wrap for cushioning, and markers. If you're extremely ordered, you could use color coded markers for the cartons, but a majority of folks are satisfied with a black wide-tip Sharpie.

One sizeable box which is worth purchasing is a wardrobe box--a heavy-duty carton which has a metal hanging bar across the top. You'll be able to store your hanging clothing in this box and not concern yourself with wrinkles and dry cleaning when you unpack. Check with your local moving company in Tulsa for any specialty boxes that you might require.

3) Give Yourself Enough time

Remember when you were attending college and could load up and move to another apartment (or room in the frat house) in a part of a day? Forget that. Today you've got home furnishings, electronic devices, canoes, as well as the items that you used to put in your parent's attic. Not to mention your guitar collection. Have a couple of weeks at minimum to pack up for your move--the further you're going, the more amount of time you'll need.

A fantastic principle is a few days per room--you will be able to load up a studio apartment a lot faster than you are able to a two-bedroom condo. Dispose of everything you never utilize or will not need--donate it, give it away or maybe throw it out.

4) Know Your Boundaries

Indeed, you are youthful and capable to take on everything, nevertheless you may still require professional movers, particularly if you have things like a motorcycle or a jet ski. If you are moving a lengthy distance and flying to your new home, you may also need to transport your car or truck. Professional movers in Tulsa will be able to pack and move ALL your things for you, and you won't have to concern yourself with it not getting there whole.

Should it be at all in your funds, seriously consider employing a professional moving company in Tulsa for the move. If you are relocating for work, your relocation package likely provides this bonus, so certainly take advantage of it.

5) Snap a Selfie
