fully furnished three-bedroom house might require up to two or three trips of a 26-cubic-meter truck. Spare yourself a lot of grief; select the right size moving truck. Many hands make light work. You can call on your friends for help. To get the best U-Haul deal and pull off a successful move, keep in mind the following: • Time your move. Mid-month and mid-week are the best days to get a good price, since most movers say the weekends and month-ends are the busiest times. • Look for inexpensive but serviceable packaging. Recycled boxes are less expensive. • Start packing early. Determine which items you want and which items you want to give away. • Organize a moving team. • Time your departure from your old place. Plan travel times and rest stops. Arrive at your new house while there is still light outside for ease in unloading. If you decide to do the move with a U-Haul, make a specific timetable. Include all the things that you will need to do and when you will do them. Ask for practical advice. The moving experience of other people may provide you with tips of what to do, what to avoid, and areas of preparation you may have overlooked.
Preparation and organization are key.
Congratulations!
Welcome home.
