"Everybody is different, and so is every move," Hart explained. "When you understand your expectations, you can make the decisions that are right for you."
Whether you decide to pay a mover or rent your own moving truck, the next steps are pretty much the same. First, take inventory of your belongings for two reasons: One, you want to know exactly what you have when you leave so you can be sure everything is there when you arrive. If possible, take photos of the place you're moving to so you can plan furniture placement in advance. This will save time and confusion when the movers begin to unload the truck.
As you take your inventory, include only what you need to move. "A move is the ideal time for spring cleaning," DuBois explained. "Go through all of your belongings and donate, sell or recycle items that you no longer need. The less you move, the less you have to pack, and the easier your moving day will be."
Even if you hire a mover, cut down on costs by p
And while this may sound self-evident, no matter what distance you'll travel, "it will still require that you move all of your belongings," Hart said. What this means is that many ofhe tasks you need to do before a move -- canceling your utilities at the old address, getting them turned on at the new address, securing a proper carrier in which to transport your pets, deciding what and what not to pack and getting everything into boxes -- must be done no matter what you choose.

sidering this level of coverage, DuBois recommended first checking your homeowner's insurance policy to see if it will cover your belongings during a move. If you're not already covered for a move, ask the company you have your policy with how much it would charge to insure you during a move. Compare that to what your moving company is offering.
Making the Move

"Ask only the people you're willing to help in return," Hart advised. And, added DuBois: "Thank them often, recognizing that this is a very generous use of their time and effort."
Meanwhile, factor pizza and beer into your moving budget. You'll need to give your friends some kind of incentive to help, and a meal and a cold beverage could do the trick. After all, Hart said: "Don't overlook the value of free food."
Another factor to consider is whether you're making the move because of work. Employers will sometimes pay for some moving costs.
"Almost every company has its own relocation policy," Hart explained. "Sometimes, companies make allowances for certain individuals or circumstances. In recent years, the 'lump sum' move has grown in popularity with many major companies. Employees receive a set amount with which to Cheap NBA Jerseys hire a moving company. If they exceed it, they pay the difference. If they pay less, they keep it."
