If you plan to move between cities or from one end of town to the other, you can often do so with the help of a truck and friends. However, when the distance expands and becomes beyond Miami, this is not going to be enough. You need to look at the availability of long distance movers.
Preparing for the Move
Assuming you have found the right mover, the proverbial ball is now in your court. You must now pack to meet the demands of this move. This requires thinking well ahead and even preparing a list. It should contain some of the following suggestions.
* Walkthrough: Before you pack, think of what you can do to protect your items. Look at what you plan to take. Take photographs or video as documentation of the items and their condition. This helps you now and later if problems occur. Make sure one copy is included with the items and one is kept in a safe place – perhaps in the cloud or with a friend
* Purge: Take this time to eliminate any items you do not need. Compile them and give to friends, donate to a charity and/or sell them off
* Packing Containers: Be sure you have suitable packing containers. Look at the right boxes – both plastic and cardboard for your items. Choose corrugated cardboard boxes of various sizes that meet the demands of your items and the capabilities of the movers. While clothing can go in plastic bags or wardrobe boxes or bags, this is into a good idea for books and other heavy items. Make sure they are in weight appropriate containers.
* Pack in Advance: Always pack everything in advance. Do not wait until the movers show up on your Miami doorstep.
Long Distance Movers
Moving demands attention to detail and advance preparation. Before the long distance movers arrive at your Miami home, be certain you are ready. Purge, document and pack in advance.
