Relocation is stressful enough as it is. Imagine adding more stress to that with some delays on the way. No one likes that, and you will want to avoid this situation. It is bad for both you and the movers. The exact moving day is very exciting, but with unwanted delays and some random complications, it can turn around in just a few seconds. Luckily, there are some tips that you can do during your relocation, so there are no delays on moving day. This also means you won’t have unnecessary stress and negativity circling around. With the right U. Santini Moving and Storage Brooklyn movers, you can avoid unwanted moving day delays. Of course, this depends both on you and the movers. Punctuality and starting on time are really important factors when it comes to relocation and managing everything in time.

To avoid unwanted moving day delays, you must start packing on time

Packing is without any doubt the longest part of every relocation. With that being said, you probably understand immediately that this process can cause many delays on the way. But don’t panic in advance. You are still on time to avoid that. It is out of big importance that you start with this process on time. And on time here means even in advance. For instance, from the very first moment you realize that you are about to relocate, you should start with this. At least little by little. Maybe in the beginning it might seem useless and like there is no difference. But in the end, you will realize how much did that help.

As you go more into your relocation process, you will have more and more obligations waiting for you. If you start finishing them on time and beforehand, you will be satisfied and the relocation will be on time and smooth. Which is exactly what you are looking for, right? Moving to Brooklyn, or anywhere else will require a lot of packing, so keep reminding yourself that the sooner you start, the faster you will finish.

Hiring movers on time is also important

Not everything depends on your work. Since you will have an obligation to move out from your home completely on a specific time and date, you need to organize it. It is important that you hire your movers also on time. And that you agree on them on the date, so they can do the job according to your deadline. But, if you don’t make an appointment and don’t reserve the date on time, you are the only one to blame. Don’t turn that to them. They will do their job exactly how they told you they will. So you mustn’t wait for the last moment to hire them and discuss the moving process. Moving boxes Brooklyn movers have to load and unload for you is a harder process, and you don’t want to do it last minute.

Avoid unwanted moving delays by hiring child care and someone to take care of your pet

If you have children, you will need more help than you probably expected. Kids are just kids, and they will slow you down during your whole relocation. They don’t understand the importance of time, and for them, this will be sort of a game they are playing. And for you and other members of this relocation, they can be a big distraction. But worry not. There is a solution for this too. You can get child care. In other words, you should hire someone who will take care of them and be with them all the time while the grown-ups are doing the job.

This is not only a solution for kids. Believe it or not, you will need this if you have pets. No matter if they are disciplined and they listen to you, they will still be a reason for some delays. And you can’t afford that. So, for those days, get someone who will play with them, walk them and give them food. You will see how much it will be easier like that.

Know when to do the exchange, and when to do the completion

Another thing that is very important that you follow is to avoid doing the exchange and the completion on the same day. This is a big slow down for every relocation and it will for sure lead to delays. And with delays, only stress and negative effect can come. What you can do here to prevent these things from happening is to allow at least one week between the exchange date and the completion date. This way, you will have more time to properly execute your move. And this also includes having the time to arrange a postal redirect service.

Also, there are some things you need to consider at the beginning of your move. For instance, if you think you will end up with a lack of space, you need to rent a proper storage unit on time. You can’t wait until the last minute to do that. If you wait, there will be delays for sure. Since you don’t even know if everything is occupied or not. Do this in time, so you don’t stress out on your moving day without a reason.

When you should do the final check-up?

One of the mandatories and very important steps of relocation are the final checkups that come at the very end. You will have to go through the home and make sure that absolutely nothing is left behind. This is also a confirmation that you have everything you need and that you packed completely. But, since cleaning your home should also be done before you leave, you shouldn’t do the final check-up on the very last day. Instead, do it a few days before that, so you have more time to clean. With the relocation, everything is better if you do it a bit in advance. Just in case, to be sure that there won’t be delays. And that feeling of satisfaction, in the end, is for sure priceless.

These guys are TRUE PROFESSIONALS! We've now moved with them twice (once in 2017 and then again this week) and we really can't say enough good things about them. Simi is incredibly easy to work with for scheduling and quotes, and the crews - John, Super Mario, and everyone - are just awesome. They're quick, incredibly careful and conscientious, and super friendly. If we ever move again (and god I hope we don't have to) we're absolutely calling them.
