Finally, it is that time of the week when you are just overseeing all the moving preparations you did all these months. Almost everything seems to be in place. You are moving from Bangalore to Delhi, and the packers and movers in Bangalore have proposed to make your move faultless. The professional moving companies have well-trained individuals who prepare customers’ goods and belongings for quick and efficient delivery!
OVERVIEW
You are about 2 weeks away from your moving date, and the good thing is, this time you started working on your move planning much in advance. You wanted to cut out the hassle of hurrying and keep everything sorted and you were able to take care of that really well. Finding the right movers and appointing them on time was certainly the wisest decision ever on your part and all that you are looking out for, for now, is the final round of tasks you are left with.
So, here are all the things you should look forward to when you are about 14-15 days away to go for your move!
• Get your car ready – Make a plan for getting your four-wheeler transported to your new home. If your mover is shifting it, that’s the best thing but if you have chosen another car carrier service, make sure it is verified. You can take care of the formalities via their website too or personally connect with them to inform your vehicle shifting requirements. You can even submit your details on the inquiry form given on the websites to escalate your move need. But here are a few things that you have to look into:
1. Prepare the car for the load by emptying the oil/fuel tank. Or keep it up to 25% only. Transporting a filled tank would cause the vehicle to get heated up and also, oil is inflammatory and exposure under certain temperatures may turn out to be dangerous. Also, it will keep the weight of the car in check.
2. Keep the car clean and empty out all the things you have kept in there – from cushions, towels, tissues, stereo, pen drive, cables, cords, etc. The professionals doing the loading and unloading would drive it until the shipment vehicle and steer it again at the destination for unloading purposes. If you are moving a fully decked-up car, things would go here and there while it is being prepared.
• Remember key details – It is quite normal to be forgetful of things when you are moving. If you have packed your goods on your own, keep in mind which ones have you packed so you do not end up looking for the same around. Maintain a checklist for the packing tasks and always pack goods from one room at a time. Check every corner, every area, and also the overlooked spaces of your home just in case you have kept things that have yet not been packed.
• Organize a yard sale – Before you get yourself involved in the left-out packing tasks, quickly tackle the items you sorted for a yard sale. We can never emphasize enough that a balanced moving load is a key to a successful move. You save money, you save your time and efforts too in the process. When it comes to a yard sale, you should be fair with the prices you keep for your used goods, because you will still be left with ample scope to make money.
• Pack valuables correctly – Whether it is your jewelry, accessories, valuables, etc. you must pack all these high-value, sentimental stuff yourself. Use a soft fabric to wrap the pieces of jewelry so they do not shift here and there if you are carrying them in a sturdy plastic jewelry container. Even if you are using jewelry bags or opting for pouches, do not clumsily pack all the jewelry together. Use multiple bags and pouches to carry them safely. If you want to go the professional way, you should get jewelry boxes to pack them for the move.
• Did the experts pack all? – If the moving experts you hired for your packing chores handled only the complicated stuff and you have decided to do the rest, make sure you have packed most of them by now. If goods are all packed, just double-check if the packing paper is in place, the packaging tape is rightly applied and the joints are doubly secured. Check if every moving box has the correct label on top of it.
• Clean and prepare fridge – The refrigerator needs to be thoroughly cleaned and all the items from it should be removed. Remove the trays and racks, because most refrigerators have removable panels that can help you to clean them better. Use a mild cleaning liquid, probably one that has some percentage of lemon extracts, it will remove all the foul smell of oil grime, spices, etc., and leave behind a clean and refreshing interior. Do this a couple of days before the move and let the movers pack it. They will oversee if everything is ready for truck loading or you are yet to make some arrangements.
• Look after you – There would be many more tasks, quite a few phone calls on your to-do list of things. Try to wrap them all quickly. The last few days leading to the move are too stressful, but we would advise, you should not delay things at this point. Once you are done with the tasks, take a break, enjoy a good sleep, relax and plan for the moving route to experience a comfortable move. Ensure you have got your medicines packed, the essentials bag is packed and all set to go, the keys are kept close, etc.
The movers and packers in Bangalore that you have appointed for your household move will take care of your relocation and every crucial aspect of it, from packing your goods to safely delivering them to the destination. The only thing that you as a customer should attend to is the pre-move jobs that we listed above in this write-up and just relax!
