Secure and Prepare Your Distant Home

A crucial element to a favorable interstate move is getting your new home ready. This means more than only having the key (which is important), you additionally should make sure the electric/water/gas is on with the fridge, water heater, and heat or air already running once you get there with boxes to unpack.

Choose an End-to-End Interstate Moving Company

The moving company in Tulsa you choose will influence the most important part of your moving experience…the part where all your stuff gets safely from one home to the next. Seek a professional mover in Tulsa who possesses a great local reputation, a lot of glowing online reviews, and the capability to undertake long-distance moves. A full-service moving company in Tulsa could also help you take care of jobs such as packing, specialty items, and furniture disassembly and reassembly.

Send or Order Some Items Ahead of Your Arrival

If you need extra supplies when you get to your new home, don't bring them. Instead, schedule deliveries to meet you at the new house. Doing this can lighten your load as well as ensure you have your necessary supplies at the new house. You may also use this trick to send yourself a moving care package for around your day of arrival. These items might encompass winter gear suitable for a cold climate or perhaps replacements for things that you decided not to move with you. A lot of people leave behind large furniture items and buy new furnishings to better suit the new house, for example.

Pack Your Essentials to Travel with You

Over a long distance move, you will likely have to travel by plane or car to get to your new home. This means getting ready for travel. Don’t pack all your personal belongings into cartons to put onto the moving van. Before packing is complete, put together a suitcase and overnight bag of the clothes, electronics, medications, and other essentials you may need over your trip while separated from your household items.

Consider FILO When Loading the Truck

What items do you want to have available to unpack first? Bathroom items, kitchen essentials, and bed sheets are frequently towards the top of the list. Mark these boxes to be loaded in the truck last, which will make them be taken off first when the moving truck arrives. This should permit you to put together your bedroom, bathroom, and start cooking immediately. You could have other first-out priorities in addition, such as stuff for pets or kiddos, or entertainment to spice up the rest of the unpacking.

This process is known as FILO, or First In, Last Out - which also means Last In, First Out when it comes to moving. Talk to your professional movers in Tulsa about this strategy and how to obtain the results you are wanting while making certain the truck is snugly packed.

The "No Sock Left Behind" Final Walk Through

Do a final sweep and ask a friend or relative to be another set of eyes. Look in each and every cabinet, drawer, and also closet. Check upper shelves that you will need a chair or stool to see, and also do not forget to check the attic, basement, or crawl space where long-term storage items are located. This is the "no sock left behind" methodology and usually turns up several final personal belongings that would have been left behind.

Keep In Contact with Your Professional Movers

Have the number of your moving company in Tulsa on hand and ask for the cell number of your driver. This can help you keep in touch in the event you or the moving van happen upon delays along the way.
