When moving this year there are plenty of things to do when closing the door on the old and opening new futures in the new community. Besides the regular such as packing, finding a mover, buying moving materials, etc. Not only are we moving locations, we’re moving the entire family here. Our local Pensacola Mover, is here to help out and keep this move as simple and stressfree as possible. Here are some simple suggestions when making this move this year.
Cleaning out the freezer
Start to cook the frozen goods that are stored in the freezer a few weeks prior, to avoid as much waste as possible. Try to donate, use, or sell any unopened can goods held in the pantry. These items can take up room and be pretty heavy when transporting.
Return borrowed items
Be sure to return those items back to those loving neighbors you may have borrowed. Be sure to think about videos and library books as well. We don’t want to leave the community with any last minute resentments towards you.
Transferring Insurance
Check up with your insurance agent to see if they offer coverage still in the area that your moving to. If they don’t, check and see online what insurance agency will cover the area your moving to.
Find a new doctor
Here alone is a crucial decision that must be made when relocating to a new area. When doing this interview over the phone by looking for certain qualities such as, credentials, specialties, and location. Check to see how your new professional operates and takes care of his/her patients. How busy are they? Do they take to time to get to know you? Do you feel comfortable with this new physician?
Here at your packing supplies. Lets make this a wonderful experience and let our family move yours.
When you move or relocate, to ensure your household goods arrive at your new destination without a scratch, our Pensacola Movers recommend that you start with a good packing list so you purchase the right packing and moving supplies. This is an area where you can cut down on moving costs if necessary, just keep in mind that doing so may increase labor time either when you are packing – having to double wrap items – or unpacking – newspaper results in dirty glassware. Your time is valuable and paying that little bit extra may also buy you peace of mind.

Some Moving Tips to Keep in Mind:
Notify your telephone, electric, gas, water, and credit card Companies.
Forward necessary mail to your new address. Discontinue service on a specific date.
Notify former employers. This will make tax time less taxing.
Be there and give direction. Let them know what you want loaded first and loaded last.
Get a copy of your inventory sheet from the foreman. Double check his notations about existing damage to your goods.
Have your insurance plan readily available. Hopefully you will have no use of this tip.
Devise a system. You should label your boxes with their destination in your new home. Hang numbered signs on the doorposts of each room and write the same numbers on the appropriate boxes. (Example: “2nd Fl./Room 4?) If you’re handy with a pencil, sketch a sample layout of your house, number the rooms on it, and post the layout on the truck for reference.
Load the rooms to be unloaded first—last. Whatever room is furthest from the entrance in your new home should be that room. In other words, unload back to front. The kitchen should be done at the very end though, because heavy appliances should go in the truck first.
Don’t forget to have your tools ready when you start unloading. You should put your tool box in when everything else is loaded in the truck.
Take all your valuable documents and jewelry with you! Don’t forget about your plants either. Most are too sensitive to make a long journey in a hot, dark truck. If you can take them with you too.
