The excitement of relocating from one house to another can be overshadowed by the anticipation of stress that comes with moving. But if you were to have a proper game plan as far as the moving process is concerned, you will find yourself actually looking forward to moving day.

Preparation is the key for a smooth and stress-free move and this can begin when you gather up your items and start packing them weeks before your moving date. Set aside a few hours each day to packing your items in boxes as you go room by room.

Keep a daily planner close by and document the days that you would be packing and also make a note of the rooms that you would be working on as well. Once you have created this work schedule, try to stick with it as much as possible, even if you have to get a few friends to help you reach your goal. Keep a log of which friend is doing which room and have them make a list of the items that are in each room as well as this would assist in locating your items per room when you get to the new home.

Next, as you pack your items in boxes, try to keep the weight under 30 pounds per box as an over-stocked box that weighs over 30 pounds can truly be a mover’s nightmare. Boxes should be stored with the heaviest box at the bottom followed by the lighter ones to the top to prevent damages to your items. It is always recommended that you use extra padding in your boxes especially when packaging your most fragile items, even if the padding is the use of towels or blankets. And to avoid headache, choose a professional moving company to take you to your new home rather than a burgeoning company that may offer you low rates.

The moving company that you choose should be certified, insured and reputable with good customer rating. If you find a company that fit the aforementioned criterion then you should check out with the Better Business Bureau to get more information on the company. Finally you would be doing yourself a big favor if you were to also get quotes from the mover in writing.

Make sure that the estimate also includes moving insurance coverage should your items get damaged or loss. This estimate document would definitely help to prevent your prospective moving company from increasing their prices on your moving day.
