14 Jun 10 Essential Tips for a Stress-Free Move with IMS Removals
At IMS Removals, we understand that moving to a new home can be an exciting experience, but also one of the most stressful if not planned properly. Whether you’re moving around the corner or to a new city, these 10 essential tips will help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
1. Plan Ahead
Start planning your move at least a month before the planned date. Make a detailed task list and set a schedule for each of them. This includes coordinating with IMS Removals, gathering packing materials, and notifying utilities of your move.
2. Decluttering: Less is More
Before you start packing, get rid of everything you don’t need. Donate, sell or recycle items you no longer use. The fewer items you have to move, the easier and cheaper the move will be with IMS Removals.
3. Let Mudanzas IMS take care of the packaging
One of the advantages of choosing IMS Removals is that we take care of packing all your belongings. Our professional team will use high-quality materials to ensure that all your items arrive safely at your new home. This will save you time and reduce the stress associated with packing.
4. Pack a Box of Essentials
Although IMS Removals will take care of the packing, we recommend preparing a box with all the essential items you will need during the first days in your new home: toiletries, bedding, a couple of changes of clothes, medications and some kitchen utensils basics.
5. Label Everything
Make sure each box is labeled with its contents and the room it belongs to. Although IMS Removals will do the labeling, having an additional organization system is always helpful to facilitate the unpacking process.
6. Trust the Experts to Protect Fragile Objects
At Mudanzas IMS, we are experts in packaging and protecting fragile objects. We use specialized materials and appropriate techniques to ensure that your most delicate items arrive in perfect condition at your new home. This includes the use of bubble wrap, polyfoam, paper, corrugated, moving blankets and reinforced boxes.
7. Notify Public Services and Change Your Address
Inform the utility companies (electricity, water, gas, internet) about your move so they can disconnect the services in your old home and connect them in the new one. Don’t forget to change your address in the mail and notify banks, insurance companies and other important services.
8. Hire a Reliable Moving Company
At IMS Mudanzas, we are proud to be a reliable moving company with a solid reputation. Read reviews, request quotes, and make sure we are properly insured and licensed to provide you with the best service.
9. Take Photos of your Electronic Equipment
Before unplugging your electronic equipment, take photos of how it is connected. This will help you quickly reassemble them in your new home.
10. Set aside time to unpack and organize
Once you’ve arrived at your new home, give yourself time to unpack and organize everything at your own pace. Don’t feel the need to do it all in one day. Create a plan to tackle one room at a time and take breaks to avoid burnout. Also, consider hiring additional help or enlisting the help of friends and family to speed up the process and make it more bearable.
At IMS Removals, we are here to help you every step of the way to make sure your move is as easy and stress-free as possible. Do you have any other tips that have worked for you? Leave us a comment and share it with our community!
