We are continuing our series of articles to help you prepare for a long distance move. Our previous articles discussed the importance of planning your move at least two to three months in advance, developing a budget, researching the new area where you are moving, and purging your belongings before making your long distance move. Today, we will look at two more tips to consider.

Hire a Reputable Full Service Moving and Storage Company

Finding the right full service moving and storage company can make all the difference in the success of your long-distance move. Three Guys Moving has both long distance and local movers who have been providing reputable and reliable moving services for more than three decades. We also handle piano moving and employ some of the best piano movers in the business. Our 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse is an approved storage facility for the US military and able to accommodate your temporary storage needs.

Pack Strategically

Packing your belongings may seem like a simple task, but it’s important to pack strategically to ensure an easy and efficient unpacking process. Label your boxes with the contents and the room they belong in to make unpacking a breeze. As a full service moving and storage company, Three Guys Moving can take the burden of packing off of your list. Should you choose to engage our packing services, we will take extra care to pack your belongings. Our professional movers and packers:

Use small boxes for heavy items and larger boxes for lighter items
Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper
Mark boxes with “fragile” if they contain breakable items
Label boxes with contents and the designated room

Keep Valuables Separated

You may decide to keep some items (i.e., jewelry, passports, important documents, etc.) with you during your move. If so, store these items in a separate box or bag and bring them with you in your car or carry-on luggage. Other valuable items, like artwork, antiques, pianos, etc. may require special handling and packing. Consider hiring a professional moving company such as Three Guys Moving with experience in piano moving and transporting sensitive items.
