From disassembling all the household items and packing your belongings to moving the entire house is not an easy process. Luckily, with the help of these quick-moving tips and tricks, it's about to be a little more manageable. Here are Gati Home Movers and Packers' best easy moving tips and tricks that one can use when moving into a new home. Good luck and happy moving!

find a free moving box

Don't spend your hard-earned money on extra cardboard boxes. Instead, check out Free Moving Box. Chances are, you'll be able to find a lot of cardboard boxes that have been thrown away by neighbors. Because such things will help you a lot as well as save money.

Reuse Original Boxes for Electronics and Appliances

Speaking of boxes on the go, don't forget to reuse your old boxes. From TVs to blenders, most electronics and small appliances are delivered in cardboard boxes. If you still have these boxes, we recommend that they be reused for relocation. Not only does this ensure that your items will fit snugly in the box, but it also saves you from spending money on boxes.

                            

Schedule a free donation

Purifying heavy furniture, old clothes, and other household items? Try scheduling a free donation pick-up with local charities like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or Habitat for Humanity. By having them take your donation, you'll avoid having to carry everything yourself, which means you'll have more time to focus on this step.

Read quotes on many different moving companies

Don't hire the first moving company you interview. Instead, try to get quotes from at least three companies to compare prices and services. When interviewing a packing and moving company, make sure they are correctly licensed and insured.

Take pictures of your stuff before you pack it

Hiring Movers? Before packing your luggage, be sure to take "first" photos of all fragile and/or valuable items. If the mover breaks or damages your item while moving, you may need these photos to file a claim and receive compensation.

Color-code your moving boxes and home things with Post-It Notes

Don't waste money on fancy moving labels. Use simple colorful Post-It notes to color-code your boxes while on the go. For example, place a pink Post-It note on everything you want to donate and a green Post-It note on anything you want to sell. Place orange Post-It notes on boxes containing kitchen items; Place blue Post-it notes on boxes containing office supplies, etc.

Fragile luggage boxes with pillows and blankets

Keep them from breaking by filling moving boxes containing fragile items with pillows and blankets. This will provide extra cushioning for the items and prevent them from breaking, as well as allow you to pack more of your items inside the boxes.

Tip Movers Get Extra Cash

Some people make sure to tip their movers for a packing moving job well done. If you plan to tip your movers (assuming they do a good job), we recommend visiting the ATM the night before to receive cash.

Check cabinets, drawers, appliances, and cupboards before leaving

When going out, it's easy to leave things behind. We recommend that you double-check all kitchen cabinetry, bedroom cupboards, drawers, and appliances (think: your fridge) before handing over the keys.

Get your new home repaired as soon as possible

From handymen and cleaning services to friends and family, it can't be told who was given a copy of the keys from the previous owners. For safety reasons, we recommend that you retrofit your entire home before moving in. All you have to do is call a locksmith to come out of the house to change the locks. They should be able to do this in just a few hours.

By using some such tips, you can also do your transfer yourself and if you still feel afraid not to damage the face, then you can also hire Gati Home Movers and Packers to help you.
