Moving is stressful. Pressure comes from several sources. Leaving Nashville behind for another city in another state can take you to a new stress level. Even if the long distance movers you hire are reputable, reliable and affordable, you are still anxious about everything arriving safely. Below is a list to help you reduce the risks.
Risk Reduction
After carefully finding the right movers, you need make sure the move will go smoothly. Consider the following suggestions as guide for success.
* Packing Tips: Pack in advance. Use boxes suitable for each object. If you have heavy items, do not put them together in a large box; pack them in smaller boxes, separately. Save the big boxes for smaller and lighter items. In some cases, you can place small items in small boxes and secure them in a larger box.
* Fragile and/or Valuable: Are you worried about a specific item because it is fragile and/or valuable? Take it with you in your vehicle. If must go on the truck, wrap it carefully. In the case of art, smother it in a blanket or bubble wrap.
* Odds and Ends: Unscrew all bulbs from your lamps and other lights making the trip. Only after they are out should you pack the lamp and its stand.
* Appliances: Warn your long distance movers about what appliances are going so they can arrange for extra employees and perhaps special equipment. Remove any light bulbs from the fridge or stove. Remove all food and racks. Place a sock full of baking soda inside to keep the closed appliances fresh smelling.
* Know what movers refuse: Besides the obvious dangerous substances, movers do not transport perishable foods, plants or pets. Make sure you have made other arrangements.
