How To Get Through A Last-Minute Move Like A Pro

In an ideal world, any person who is moving would have a solid few months to shop around for moving companies and make other preparations. But, every so often, events happen in life, from unanticipated job offers to urgent family matters, that cause a person to have to move last minute. While moving with minimal preparation isn’t the perfect scenario, such moves can be well-managed and successful, so long as you adjust the preparations to fit the rushed timetable. Here’s how in four easy steps.

Hire Professional Movers In Wichita

Ideally, you should reserve moving services about three months before the moving day. However, if you’re in a rush, schedule the movers right away to make sure they’ll be available. Our movers can take on new customers with little notice. But, in general, there is a correlation between how early the movers are hired and how smoothly the moving process goes — so be sure to call us sooner rather than later.

Gather Moving Supplies

Our movers in Wichita offer full-service packing, whereby we expertly pack and transport the full contents of your home, from knick-knacks to furniture. Depending on how much time is left before the move, it may be advisable for you to pre-pack some things the movers arrive. Go out and buy boxes, packing foam, and tape first thing so you can focus the rest of the time on packing and organizing. When time is minimal, you can also save a few precious seconds by resorting to life hacks, such as using suitcases for boxes or socks for packing foam.

Rightsize (Quickly)

One of the most widely recommended pre-moving steps is to rightsize your home. This involves eliminating all unwanted items, so your packing process is streamlined. Our movers specialize in rightsizing and can guide homeowners, and especially seniors, through the process. And remember that just because time is of the essence doesn’t mean rightsizing isn’t worthwhile. Our approach can be adjusted to match your circumstances. For instance, instead of selling your unwanted items individually, we’ll show you a faster approach, such as holding one massive garage sale or taking everything to a flea market.

Perform A Moving-Day Review

Moving day is an exciting occasion, but it’s no time for slacking off. Even if you hired movers to do the heavy lifting, you can still keep busy by cleaning and inspecting the house. Renters should also use these final moments to fulfill whatever obligations are left to get back their security deposits.
