The Challenges of Moving Long Distance and How to Solve Them

Long-distance moving will always put your patience and perseverance to the test. We understand that it is not an easy task. If only moving could be as simple as reading a book. We at Shivam Packers and Movers understand the challenges of moving long distance and want you to know that we are here to help. There are and will be obstacles to overcome during your long-distance move. However, this does not preclude you from being over prepared for those challenges. Here are some of the difficulties you may encounter while relocating, as well as their solutions.

Packing for a long-distance move is the first challenge.

The hassle of packing for a long distance move is figuring out how you’re going to move your personal belongings with as little to no damage as possible. All of your belongings are valuable, but there are likely some that are much more fragile and cannot be damaged. So, what are your options?

Solution: Packers and Movers companies want to ensure that your belongings get from point A to point B safely. They want to move your belongings and transport them to you without causing any damage.

If you have the money, hiring professional packers and movers is the way to go. Packers and Movers companies with a lot of experience use specific packing materials and specialized moving, which is necessary for long-distance moves. Packing for short distances is much easier because the distance between locations is shorter. Here are a few things to think about when packing for a long move.

• Use shrink wrap and new/sterile moving blankets to double wrap furniture.
• Corrugated boxes that are double-layered for maximum protection
• Specialized boxes for delicate items, electronic equipment, and artwork

The key to successful packing is organization. Your new best friend is organization. Consider labeling each of your boxes according to room. If you are packing your own boxes, we recommend that you label them with your full name.

What is going to be moved is the second challenge

Aside from figuring out how to pack and ship your belongings to your new home, knowing what will and will not move with you is part of the challenge and process. So, how do you predict what will move?

Solution: Make an inventory list as a solution. The inventory list can be extremely detailed. The list does not have to be organized in any particular way or method. That’s all there is to it as long as you understand how the list works. The inventory list should assist you in determining what is being moved, donated, or sold. This list will also be useful when unpacking your boxes. Your inventory will also assist you in ensuring that all of your boxes and belongings arrive safely at your new residence. Most importantly, it’s an excellent way to ensure that nothing has gone missing during the packing process before the movers depart for their destination.

Clients can make a little extra money by selling items they don’t need or aren’t taking with them. Donate them if you think it will take up more time than you want!

Risk of lost or damaged valuables is the third challenge

Moving across country or internationally is difficult enough. But what will you do if your belongings are lost or damaged in an unexpected circumstance?

Solution: Consider purchasing insurance. It would be less of a struggle if all of your items arrived undamaged. Items that have been damaged or lost are uncommon. It’s a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected. Inquire with your packers and movers company about moving insurance. Depending on the policies of the packers and movers company, you may even be able to insure specific items that are valuable for the move. Don’t worry if insurance isn’t an option for you. Labeling boxes as “fragile” and organizing your boxes in the safest way possible is one way to prevent damage to your items. Don’t put all of your fragile items in the same box when packing. Spread them out into other boxes with extra and proper padding instead. This way, if your boxes are mishandled, you won’t be surprised when you open one and find broken glass or dishware inside.
Unexpected costs are a fourth challenge.

Managing Unexpected Cost is the next challange

Unexpected costs are one of the most frustrating and difficult aspects of moving. To be honest, your move may end up costing a little more than you anticipated. Make a budget as a solution. You can create a budget that accounts for what you know you will spend. Then, make sure to leave some room for unexpected events. For example, you may need to make a last-minute supply run, or you may have to spend the night somewhere due to mechanical or weather issues. It could also be for a situation where food is unavailable and you need to order take-out.

Working with a packers and movers company will allow you to provide an overall estimate of how much you will spend on your move. Keep a little extra in your budget for personal expenses along the way just in case.
