•    De-clutter your space ahead of the date – Moving to a new home gives us ample scope to look deep into our home - in every possible corner and each of the rooms to figure out all the things that are unnecessary and no more required in the new home. Whether you are traveling locally or moving beyond country borders, your moving cost ultimately multiplies on the volume of your goods that you carry along with you. So, the lesser it is, the merrier your move shall be. That’s a simple and sorted logic behind this pre-move task of de-cluttering.
 
•    Never arrange for new household articles – Relocation is not always about getting rid of all your old items and clothes, but it is simply human psychology that indicates what people usually love during that phase of their lives (when they are planning or conducting a move) – which is discarding anything that is even slightly old or items that have rarely been used, but are timeworn. What people do believe is that they associate moving into a new home with mandatory new purchases – starting from appliances to furniture – which is not always a great thing to do. Unless your household goods seem to be out of order, try not to spend money on any fresh purchases. Pay attention to save money on your local move and invest that amount in buying insurance and covering other essential moving costs – transportation cost, equipment cost, specialty items cost.
 
•    Keep in place a moving day kit – Prepare a kit for emergency purpose and fill it up with essential items – things that you would need during the transit days – the prescribed medicines, all the toiletries, cleaning supplies, and other utility items like chargers, wallet, keys, laptop, documents, extra pair of clothes, some dry food items to munch on, extra tissues, paper plates, plastic glasses, and spoons, etc. Do not carry your valuables in this bag, keep them in a separate carrier bag that is well guarded and protects your possessions, collectibles, and heirlooms efficiently. Also, make sure not to hand over this bag to the moving team.
 
•    Choose an apt moving company – Since you are planning a local move, you should never take chances while you are appointing the right team of professional movers. Make sure to do that on time. There are professionals of Agarwal Packers and Movers who can assist you with the packing and moving of your goods, and also help you re-arrange them in your new home. But make sure you consider a few factors when you are choosing them, for instance, does the team specialize in conducting short-distance moves? What are the rates for their secure storage facility? Do they have an option of quick delivery of your priority packages? – These are some of the things that usually customers look out for when they are moving locally. If you too wish to opt for any of these special preferences, you should talk to your moving company and they would quote you the additional fees you will be required to pay for the facility. Keep in mind your moving day budget, so that your expenses do not go overboard while conducting a shorter move.
 
•    Ask them for a portable container facility – If you think your move is a smaller one, both in terms of the distance and the volume of goods you are moving, we advise you to opt for a moving container. There are several leading packing and moving companies that have come up with this unique concept, where you choose a container (cube) of a suitable size as your consignment, which then gets delivered to your address before your moving day. You can select a size and fit depending on the volume of your goods, by reviewing their website for the same. The best part is, if you choose one right size moving container, it would perfectly fit in all your belongings and you will pay for only the utilized space, not more than that.
