Rearrange or Reassemble Furniture

Rearranging or reassembling your furniture can be a difficult task, especially if you live alone. can rearrange your bedroom, living room, or dining room furniture in order to ensure that your items are carefully arranged, just the way you want them

Moving from one place to another is a tedious task. However, sometimes it becomes mandatory when you get transfer in your job from one place to another. Some people need to relocate themselves in order to have better job and business prospects. Whatever is the reason, people always hate the chaos caused by moving to a different place.

Movers are regulated by federal, state and local laws. At the federal level, a moving company that carries goods across state lines (interstate) needs to be licensed by the Department of Transportation (the DOT does not regulate local movers). At the state level, laws vary widely, and several states (Alaska, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont) don’t require moving companies to have a separate license. For those that do, verify that the licenses are current. We also recommend that your NJ movers be bonded and insured, both as proof that the company is legitimate and financial stability in case the worst happens and you need to file a claim.

Investigate Potential Movers

Once you know the basics about your potential moving companies, it’s time to find out about people’s experiences. You want to know get opinions from objective, third-party opinions based on dozens or hundreds of consumer evaluations. While almost every moving company has had some kind of complaints, having objective resources is important. Fortunately, there are a few excellent resources you can use for free. The U. S. Department of Transportation has a website devoted to its “Protect Your Move” program. There you’ll find a link that will allow you to look up individual moving companies. You can also check the websites of MovingScam.com, ProtectYourMove.gov and the Better Business Bureau. It’s a good idea to check all 3 to make sure you see a complete picture. Again, almost any mover who has been around for awhile will have a complaint from someone- you’re looking for patterns of issues and how the movers attempted to resolve the issues.

Plan Your Move

There’s a huge temptation to just start the packing process with little or no planning. Unfortunately, it’s also a huge mistake. You wouldn’t start building a house without blueprints, and you shouldn’t start your move without a basic plan. The plan doesn’t need to be complicated, but it should include the following:

• Number of days between now and your move date
• Tasks required for your move, including getting moving supplies, changing your address, and packing
• Number of rooms that need to be packed
• Amount of help you’ll have available from friends, family, and professional movers
• Quantity of items you have in each room
• Amount of time you have available each day between now and the move

If you assign tasks by day and closely monitor your progress as you go, you’re much less likely to be surprised by running out of time.

Moving Checklist

One of the reasons moving is so stressful is the fact that there are so many details to track. All of your possessions (and much of your sense of security) are suddenly out of their usual places and “in flux.” Most of the usual landmarks are about to change, from where to get groceries to what your new address and phone number are going to be.

This is where the moving checklist comes in. One of the great things about moving is that you’re not alone- between 12% and 16% of American households move in any given year. That’s more than 30 million people! Many of those people have contributed to several moving checklists in books and on websites. Use these checklists both as a source for your plan and a set of reminders for what needs to be done. Some of the items may not apply to your situation, but they should give you an excellent starting point.

Avoid Use of Packing Paper

When moving from one place to another, you need a lot of packing paper to pack and wrap all your belongings so that they can reach safely to their destination. Newspaper can be a perfect wrapping material for most of the stuff (except cloths). It will help you in reducing cost of packing and wrapping paper.

By following above said suggestions, you can reduce the costs of moving.

 

4 Important Things to Consider When Renting a Moving Truck

Looking for ways to cut costs when relocating? Consider a do-it-yourself move by renting a moving truck from companies like U-Haul, Budget, Penske or UPack. A DIY move will not only save you a substantial amount of cash, but it will also give you the flexibility to decide when to begin and end your move.

we’ve included four helpful tips on renting the best moving truck to suit your needs. Good luck!

Choosing your truck

First, when determining what size moving truck you’ll need, make sure to check the company website for details on all of the different sizes they offer. Before renting the truck, you’ll need to take into account the size of your home, the number of bedrooms and how much large furniture you plan to pack into the truck. Most moving companies offer everything from smaller 10-foot trucks for studio apartments to larger 26-foot trucks capable of holding over four bedrooms worth of belongings. When choosing a moving truck, don’t underestimate just how much stuff you have. Things always end up taking up more room than expected. When reserving a moving truck, make sure it has at least 10 percent more room than you think you’ll need. Trust us – it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Cost

Moving truck companies will take into account the size of the truck you rent, as well as the distance and duration of the move when giving you a quote. However, be aware that insurance costs, additional fuel, moving supplies and add-on accessories may not be automatically rolled into the quote. One such expense that many people forget about are toll costs. If you’re setting out on a long-distance, highway-required drive, you’ll need to keep all toll costs in mind. Many people forget to take this into account when computing the cost of their move. If you’re planning to rent a very large moving truck – anything 10,000 pounds or more – you may need to stop in at several weight stations along the way. Make sure to check with the rental truck company for more information about  where to find these stations on major highways.

Driving the truck

Driving a moving truck can be tricky – especially if you’ve never driven a large vehicle before.

• Before hitting the road, take a minute to familiarize yourself with the truck and all of its nuts and bolts. Adjust the mirrors, figure out the windshield wipers, and turn the lights on and off. You’ll want to make sure these are all working properly before getting on the highway.
• Keep in mind that most moving trucks do not have a backseat, so it’s best to keep the passenger count at two. A large moving truck may accommodate three people, however.
• When driving the truck, make sure that you’re prepared to make MUCH larger turns than you might normally make in your everyday car.

Moving Truck Insurance

If you’re planning to drive the moving truck a long distance, it may be a good idea to purchase some sort of supplemental moving truck insurance (in addition to whatever auto or homeowner’s insurance you already have) to cover possible damage. Different types of moving insurance include: Damage Waivers, Supplemental Liability Insurance, Personal Accident and Cargo Insurance and Auto Tow Protection.

 

MOVING TRUCK RENTALS VS. PORTABLE CONTAINERS

If you still have to transport your own vehicle, and you’d rather not tow it behind the truck, you may want to consider a moving and storage container service, which can be a cost-effective option once you factor in all the costs involved in renting a truck. Since the container is delivered to your door and then picked up and transported to your new location, this frees you up to drive your own vehicle. Yep. That means you don’t have to deal with driving a humongous truck across country. You also get the flexibility to take your time with both loading and unloading so you won’t have to race the clock to avoid hefty late fees on a truck rental. For example, PODS portable container service starts with a full month rental, giving you built-in storage with easy access to your belongings — which can come in really handy if your moving dates need to change.

 

Some things rental trucks won’t say

The worst time to rent is when you need us most.

As everyone who’s ever rented an apartment knows, leases are typically on a monthly cycle. As a result, say truck-rental companies, when the end of the month rolls around, the options are limited and prices go up.

Our trucks are jalopies.

While having your reservation lost is bad, being stranded on the side of the road is even worse. For years, critics and angry consumers have contended that the reason these mishaps are so common is because rental companies don’t do enough to maintain their trucks.

You gotta be crazy to try towing your stuff.

Towing something behind your car, meanwhile, can be convenient, since it lets you move both your car and your stuff at the same time. But it’s not without risks. Each year, about 300 people are killed and more than 10,000 injured in accidents involving a car pulling a trailer, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While that’s a relatively small proportion of total automobile-related accidents, critics maintain that trailers are dangerous. (In contrast, gun accidents, which get much more publicity, kill about 600 people a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

 

Takes notes, these rental truck tips could save you time and money.

Get online quotes first

Start your search by getting quotes online. Rental rates are typically quoted lower online than over the phone.

Take advantage of price matching

Most of the time companies will beat or match their competitor’s quote to earn your business

Avoid peak moving times

Avoid renting on weekends, holidays and at the beginning/end of the month if possible. Prices tend to be lower mid-week and mid-month when demand is lower.

Call the day before

You should book 2 weeks in advance, but make sure to call the day before to ensure your truck is still available.

Get insurance

It’s unlikely that your regular auto insurance will cover rental truck accidents. All companies offer affordable and decent insurance options.

 

Benefits of renting a moving truck

• It’s the cheapest way to move a household with furniture.
• You can move 1 vehicle behind you if you get the proper truck & tow package upgrade.
• Your stuff will get to your new home the same time you do.

Additional costs and issues with moving truck rentals

• You will have to pay for all the gas, which can add up very quickly.
• Insurance is an optional upgrade that you should always purchase.
• You will be financially responsible for damages that aren’t insured.
• Accidents can happen very easily during lifting, driving, and unloading.
• There are only 2 or 2 1/2 seats per truck!
• Trucks don’t have a rear-view mirror, so be careful backing up!
• Moving long distances in a rental truck is not fun or comfortable.
• These trucks really get blown around by strong wind gusts, so be aware.
• Many trucks have speed governors that top out at 65mph
• Furniture will shift and slide and break if you don’t pack properly.
• The AM/FM radio and bad speakers almost make the drive worse.
• Driving in crowded cities and trying to park can be a nightmare.
• Costs are higher when school is out. (weekends/holidays/summer)

More tips for moving out of state with a rental truck

• Keep the gas tank full.  Don’t let it get too low through sparsely populated states.
• Always purchase insurance to avoid outrageous damage fees!
• Make sure to note any dents, scratches, or imperfections with the rental company before leaving the lot so you don’t get charged for them.
• Drive VERY slow over speed bumps and curbs to avoid damaging your stuff.
• Ask friends and family to help you load and unload the truck.
• Make sure to pad your furniture and electronics to keep them safe.
• Get a thick lock for the back to deter thieves.
• Pack your big and heavy stuff low, and lighter stuff up high for the best results.
• Don’t leave room on the floor for things to slide around.
• Move during a week when school is in session for cheaper deals.
• Take your time and don’t rush things.

All of these things should be factored into your total moving costs before choosing the “cheapest” way to move out of state.  Believe me when I say that the extra time, stress and effort it takes can really make you wish you would have hired the professionals.

Tips for Simplifying A Long Distance Move

A LONG DISTANCE MOVE IS A BIG JOB.

Taking the time to plan your move carefully will help you avoid pitfalls along the way. You need to take the differences between a local move and a long-distance move into account during the pre-moving process. Whether you’re planning your first ever long distance move, or simply need to ensure your next goes off as planned. These tricks of the trade will help make your upcoming long-distance move smoother.

PACK YOUR BELONGINGS FOR A LONG HAUL.

During a long distance move, items will be handled by multiple teams of workers and riding in a truck across a large stretch of miles and a long period of time. Make sure that everything you pack is well cushioned inside the box. Try to assure that each box is packed to the top and that nothing is loose. Containers inside boxes should be well sealed, taking into account your boxes may be turned on their side or even upside down at some point.  This also means you’ll need to buyhi-quality moving boxes instead of used gas station boxes or other low-grade alternatives. If you wouldn’t pack a certain way for long term storage, don’t pack that way for a long distance move.

 

Color code boxes and furniture.

Buy different colored packing tape, and in addition to clearly labeling each box with a marker, designate a color for each room in your new home (keep this legend in your move binder and give a copy to your movers). Red for the master bedroom, for example, green for the kitchen and yellow for the bathroom. This makes it easy for you and the movers to quickly determine what box goes where in your new space.

Create a detailed packing inventory.

Create a separate log for each room. As you pack each box, assign it a number (like Master Bedroom #1) and create a list of what’s inside each. You don’t have to get down to the nitty gritty detail, but do be specific enough that someone who doesn’t know what’s inside will have a good idea what to do with them. For example: Small Kitchen Appliances (coffee maker, immersion blender, spiralizer, coffee grinder) or Guest Bathroom Linens (shower curtain, rug, cream towel set and sink accessories).

 

 

Save money on your long distance move

Considering that the average cost of a long distance move is around $4,300 (move distance: 1,225 miles; shipment weight: 7,400 lbs.), you must do everything in your power to reduce your moving expenses.

To save money on your long distance move should be your top priority!

• FIND affordable cross-country movers by requesting free long distance moving quotes and comparing their moving rates and services.
• REDUCE the number of items you’re moving to a minimum – no need to pay for the transportation of things you’ll never use again.
• PACK UP your things on your own to save from not having to pay professional packers. Ask friends to help you pack if you’re running short on time.

Change your home utilities

It’s important to know how to plan a long distance move in order to avoid problems – unpacking in the dark, for instance – when you arrive in the new house or apartment.

That’s right, you’ll definitely want to change your home utilities before moving out.

• THINK about whether you’ll need all of the utilities you’re enjoying at the moment – electricity, water and sewage, gas, Internet, cable TV, telephone, waste removal, etc.
• CONTACT your utility companies to arrange for the disconnection of your current utilities. Do it roughly 3 weeks prior to your move-out date.
• GET IN TOUCH with the new utility providers in the destination town or city and schedule the timely activation of your new-home utilities.

 

Hire professional movers.

Hiring professional movers often ensures the most high-quality move. Professional movers will load your belongings carefully, drive the truck across town, and unload items in the appropriate room in your new home. Full-service movers are able to provide things to make the move go smoothly that you may overlook. They can secure necessary parking permits, are equipped with gear such as furniture pads and dollies to protect your items and make transporting them simpler, and can disassemble and reassemble your furniture so you do not have to yourself.

The costs of moving add up, but there are some ways you can cut corners to help the cross-country move be as affordable as possible.  Do some work on the front end to eliminate moving extra items you don’t really need, be prepared so you spend less cash on food and drinks on the drive, and let movers take care of the rest.

 

More tips for moving out-of-state with a trailer

• Make sure everything is secure to avoid shifting and sliding.
• Choose gas stations that are easy to pull your trailer through.
• Practice backing up and making wider turns to avoid accidents.
• Make sure to get optional insurance to cover any damage.
• Slow down over speed bumps and curbs.
• Secure the door with a pad-lock to deter thieves.
• Think about temperature-sensitive items before you leave.
  • Winter – Liquid items stored back there can freeze easily.
  • Summer – Items can melt or com-bust under excessive heat.

Take some time to think it over, and choose the option that best fits your needs and your budget.
