5 Interstate Moving Tips You Should Know

 Making a move is always a significant event, even if it is only a few miles away. However, when an interstate relocation is thrown into the mix, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. However, making a long-distance relocation does not have to be difficult; it simply takes enough planning.

 

Here are six recommendations for a stress-free (or almost stress-free) interstate move. I'm not sure a relocation can be totally stress-free unless the process renders you unconscious...and no one wants that).

 

1.     Obtain several estimates

When it comes to hiring a crew to transport your things hundreds (or thousands) of miles, it's critical to hire someone you can trust. Asking friends and family members for suggestions is the simplest method to do so. You may also look for evaluations written by previous customers on the internet.

 

Once you've selected 3–4 businesses that appear to be respectable, trustworthy, and fully licenced and insured, get a comprehensive, written quote from each of them. Request an on-site estimate—you'll move pleased you did because it requires removalists to come to your home and see what has to be packed and carried firsthand. They can also take into account any goods that are exceptionally heavy or bulky (think grand piano).

 

2.     Invest in Insurance

Given the high cost of an interstate relocation, you might be tempted to save money by skipping the moving insurance.

 

Please, please, please, don’t do this.

 

During a cross-town relocation, there's always the possibility that your items will be harmed. When you upgrade to an interstate relocation, the chances of things breaking rise owing to the longer period they are in transit.

 

3.     Employ the Services of Professional Packers

You'll discover that hiring expert packers is well worth the money if you can afford it. The advantage of employing a team of expert packers is that they are just that: professionals. They earn their career packaging goods carefully and safely, and they know how to adequately preserve your valuables for the lengthy interstate travel.

 

Moving boxes, tape, packing paper, and bubble wrap are among items that professional packers carry with them. You'll save yourself several visits to the store (since you'll always run out of tape or boxes), and the crew will likely pack up your stuff in a fraction of the time it would take you to do the task.

 

4.     Consider renting a storage unit for a short or long period of time.

It's uncommon to be able to relocate from one home to another immediately. Often, you'll have to stay in a hotel room or a rental property for a few days or even weeks before your new house is ready.

 

If this is the case, inquire with your removalist business about whether they provide short- or long-term storage in your new location.

 

 

5.     Make a plan as soon as possible.

It's not uncommon for interstate movers to book months in advance, which is why it's critical to conduct thorough research and hire a reputable removalist as soon as possible.
