Also worth considering is what you actually have in your new home. Is anything being left (carpets/curtains/furniture etc.), is there fitted storage etc..? For example – if you’re moving from a house with all fitted wardrobes, and the new house has none, then you will need somewhere to hang your clothes asap – you may therefore want to invest in some rails for the interim while you decide on suitable furniture etc. Or if you are leaving the curtains in your old house, you will definitely need some sort of window covering at least on the bedrooms windows in the new house (it may be worth asking them if it’s possible for them to leave certain curtains for you). It will be worth making a shopping list and getting things sorted ahead of time, I’m sure you agree! Does everything fit your new home? Furniture that is in your existing home may well not fit into your new home, and it’s best to know this up front so you can sell it / donate it before you move. Take some time to measure doorways etc. and work out whether the larger items of furniture (your sofa/dresser etc.) will fit into your new space. There would be nothing worse than leaving a sofa on the front garden on moving day! TIP – This is also a useful exercise for working out whether you have suitable space for all your furniture. If you are downsizing it’s worth working out what can and cannot fit into your new home, and sorting these out before moving day
It’s an obvious thing to say maybe, but if you wear comfortable and practical clothes on moving day it can make all the difference. You need to be able to move around easily, you will be on your feet all day, and you should also think about the weather as well (wear layers as you will get hotter throughout the day doing so much physical stuff, and will no doubt want to take layers off). The last thing you want to be doing is trying to find some different clothes halfway through the move. Remember you are not limited to colors, shapes or themes. But it can be fun to get food stickers for the kitchen, pet stickers for your pets things, flowers or frilly ones for the girls and trucks or sports for the boys. Keep in mind this is supposed to be a fun way to get the kids involved and keep them interested in their move. Have them place the stickers in the same area on each box in a visible area so that when moving day arrives it is easy for the movers to see. You will be amazed at how quickly this will help your move go if all boxes are clearly labeled and ready to go. If you have time you can have them create their labels out of construction or colored paper.
Moving when you have children can have its own set of issues. Children often don’t want to move as they like routine and are unsure of the unknown. If you get them involved in the process and excited about the move then it can take this uncertainty out of the equation. Get them to pack their own box for the move, and remember to pack this into your car on moving day (the last thing you want is for this specific box to go missing.). In it you can have things like: Favourite teddy / doll, Book to read, Bedroom items to create their own space asap, Nightlight / reading lamp / torch, Toys, Photos, Change of clothes and bedtime clothes, Bathroom bag. You can then get them to unpack this themselves which will help them feel right at home immediately. There’s nothing worse than getting to a new house and having to open all the boxes to find the night light they won’t sleep without.. Before you reserve your moving truck, you need to explore truck size options available. For example, through U-Haul, you can rent a 10-foot truck, which the company states that it is suitable for a studio or one-bedroom apartment. The most substantial truck offered by U-Haul is a 26-foot truck, which may be ideal for a three to a four-bedroom house. There are multiple truck sizes in between these two extremes, and there are also trailer options available that may be suitable for towing behind your vehicle.

Man muss einen gemeinsamen Nenner finden, was Preise und Leistungen betrifft. Leider kann man nicht das beste Angebot fur sich finden, wenn man nur einen Dienstleister anfragt. Haufig ist man dann auf nur ein Angebot und dessen reibungslose Abwicklung angewiesen. Wir kennen diese Probleme nur zu gut, da wir selbst als Umzugsunternehmen angefangen haben. Irgendwann entstand daraus die Idee, ein Umzugsportal ins Leben zu rufen, das es beiden Parteien leichter machen soll, einen Auftrag zur Zufriedenheit beider abzuwickeln. Und das mit einfachen Mitteln, ganz fair und kostengunstig. Und der Erfolg unserer Umzugsborse gibt uns Recht!
