Visit the Apartment at least Once Before Moving in

Your moving day shouldn’t be the first visit to your new apartment. Trust us, if you do that, you’ve basically set yourself up for a disaster. Because you might think that the Google location is all you need. But what about a narrow staircase? Or a low entrance? Or what if your house lies in a street too narrow for your moving truck to enter? So in order to avoid all these nightmare-ish scenarios, make sure you head to your apartment once to figure stuff out. It’s kinda like how you enter an exam hall and start figuring out the best seat for all the under-the-table affairs, first thing.

Take Quotes from Multiple Services

In a new place or a new locality, it’s difficult to know how the charges work. So we suggest you take quotes from multiple vendors to avoid getting duped. Now, you may also ditch those offline services altogether. And go for an online porter service. But either way, you gotta check out prices offered by multiple apps or vendors and choose what suits you best. Trust us, you don’t want all your savings from your last job to blow up like a packet of chips. We mean, when you press on it instead of tearing the packet open like a normal person.

Read the Fine Print

Even though we now have more options in packing and moving services, not all of them provide the same kind of service. And when you’re moving, it’s easy to ignore the fine print amidst all the rush. So make it a point to read the terms and conditions of the service in detail. Or else, you might realise you’ll need to pay extra for the porters to carry the stuff up to your floor. Or any sort of last minute blunders. So go through everything through the prying eyes of your mum when she predicts your final score just by noticing your markings on the question paper.

Organise Your Stuff While Packing

One of the most common mistakes that people make while moving is this. They pack their things like shoving trash into an already overflowing bin. Now, we know that might seem time-saving at first, but once when you move into your apartment and start unpacking, you’d be so frustrated you’d want to donate all your stuff and buy everything all over again. Coz that’ll still seem easier than finding your shorts amidst the sea of cardboard boxes lol.

Ask a Friend to Help You Out

If you’re packing and moving on your own, then asking a friend or two for help is a no brainer. But even if you’ve hired a professional service, we suggest you still call up a friend to oversee the move. Because in a situation when one person has to keep holding a door open and the other has to lend an extra hand to get around a tricky corner, you’ll thank us from the bottom of your heart.

Start Your Moving Early in the Day

So here’s the thing. One might think they’re good after figuring out everything before the moving day. And in that state of mind, you might just pick any random time in the day to start your shifting process. But don’t. You should always start early. First, because in case of any emergencies you’d still find people for backup during the day. Second, if all goes well, you’ll be free by the evening. So you can spend the next couple of hours unpacking your basic things and still have enough time to relax, eat dinner and sleep well on your first night. And that’s it.
