Moving Checklists

Before you start packing your boxes, read on to discover a few tips that will help you enjoy an easy, stress-free move.

Prepare a Budget

From hiring movers and setting up utilities to travel, the costs can start to rise very quickly.

Make a checklist of every cost you expect to incur including gas, shipping, hotel stays, and security deposits for your new place.

If your move isn’t going to happen for a few months, cut back on your spending and put away some money each week/month for your moving costs.

Aside from your initial moving costs, you should also factor in things like the cost of living in your budget. These costs can vary by region so you may be surprised at the difference between your new location and where you’re currently living.

Choose the Right Moving Company

Ask several different movers about their rates, and make sure you tell them where you’re planning to move.

The cost to move to a different state is typically much higher than if you were to stick within your local area. Take this into consideration when you’re getting quotes since movers have to pay for fuel, labor, and other transportation costs across state lines.

Read reviews of several moving companies thoroughly and ask family and friends for any recommendations. If other customers are happy with a specific moving company, then you likely will be, too. Once you schedule a date and time with the movers, you’ll feel a sense of relief that this crucial component is checked off your list.

  I had a really positive experience using this company to ship my family treasures overseas. The packing team was quick and competent and accommodated my really limited schedule. The office staff, particularly Katherine Zambrano and Jacob Hsieh, were always friendly, informative, and responded to my emails quickly. The stress of dealing with cleaning out a house and choosing what to save was greatly ameliorated by having the possibility of sending boxes and boxes of stuff to where I am living. The European shipping partners they connected me to were excellent as well. Good value all around! I would definitely recommend!

  So glad we used this moving company for our local move from Baltimore to the DC suburbs! The move was really reasonably priced, took place exactly within the estimated time, and the Zoom walk-through beforehand ensured an accurate quote. The three-person team worked efficiently and carefully. I'm glad my new apartment management recommended this company to me to handle our move, it was a great find. Thanks to Jacob Hsieh for organizing the move and being responsive to our requests!
