When moving house, you can easily lose track of what you need to do, and what has already been taken care of.

• Book the Right Movers

First thing’s first – after you’ve found the perfect home or apartment for you, you need to make sure you’re working with the right professional moving company. There are a lot of scammers out there, or just unprofessional or overpriced movers that don’t have your best interests at heart, so you’ll need to thoroughly do your research to make sure you’re working with a reputable company. 

The best way to ensure you’re working with a company that has your best interests at heart? By working with Fuller Moving, of course! We’ll provide you with the most complete and personalized move services possible, whether you’re relocating locally or long distance (or commercially!). Our expert staff of friendly customer service representatives will take care of you from start to finish, and make sure you’re attended to in all aspects. 

• Start Packing EARLY

When we put it in all caps, you know we mean it! The earlier you start packing, the better! Gather your packing materials and start with decor items or nonessentials, and get them packed away first. Take things room by room, and organize like to keep things organized and make them easier to unpack later. 

A big part of packing also has to do with the decluttering process you take part in before any actual packing gets done. Make sure to go through your things and get rid of anything that doesn’t get used or serve you anymore so you can have a lighter load, and just less things to take care of. 

• Make a Moving Inventory

Having a detailed list of everything you’ve packed, as well as what has been packed where, is a great way to keep track of your things and hold yourself accountable. This is also a great way to make sure you haven’t missed anything, and that you’re on the right track in your relocating and packing timeline.
