Planning Your College Move

in , , , , ,

Ahhh, the excitement of preparing to go off to college.  A new adventure with new freedoms and experiences await!  While the anticipation is exciting, the first step in beginning this new chapter of your life is to plan your move.  Whether you are attending school locally or moving across the country, a packing and moving company can help ease the burdens of this often daunting process.

Even parents who are accustomed to utilizing a packing and moving company for residential moves often do not think about calling when their child goes off to college.  The long distance and local movers at 3 Guys Moving have handled hundreds of college moves.  We’ve helped students move into dorms, apartments, sorority and fraternity houses and more.  We are especially popular with music students who require piano moving as our piano movers are among the best and most qualified in the business.

Our next series of articles will include some tips as recommended by our movers and packers to help make your college move go smooth.

CONNECT WITH YOUR ROOMMATE(S)

Space in dorms and apartments is often tight. Consider connecting with your roommate(s) to discuss what items each of you will bring. Coordinating items such as mini refrigerators, curtains, microwaves, coffee machines, etc. can help avoid having duplicate items in a limited space.

SCHEDULE A MOVE-IN DAY/TIME

Next, schedule a move-in day and time.  In some cases, this may be set by the college or apartment complex.  It is important to know the exact day and time you plan to move in so you can begin organizing the details of your move.

Our next article will include more college moving tips from our movers and packers.

3 Guys Moving is the preferred moving and packing company for residential, corporate, military, and college moves.  Our long distance and local movers are exceptionally qualified and dedicated to making your experience as stress-free as possible.

Reducing the Stress of Unpacking

in , , , ,

Moving can be a daunting task.  Movers and packers are a tremendous asset on the front end, but when it comes to unpacking and organizing, that is something most homeowners wish to tackle themselves.  As we’ve mentioned in previous articles, it can be very helpful to have your full service movers unload the boxes and furniture into their corresponding rooms. This will save you the headache of doing it yourself.  We also discussed setting up your electronics and appliances, beginning to make the space your own, and the importance of eating and staying hydrated.  Today, we will cover three more unpacking tips to consider.

SET A GOAL FOR EACH DAY

Try to set a goal for each day. This not only helps you to stay on track with your unpacking, but also gives you a feeling of accomplishment.  Just make sure that the goals you are setting are reasonable and achievable.

INVITE FRIENDS OVER

Invite your friends to come over to help!  A few extra hands can make an incredible impact and help expedite your unpacking process.

TAKE TIME OFF!

While unpacking is important, it is equally important to take regular breaks and time off to help refresh your mind and body. Consider taking the afternoon off to catch a movie, explore the local area, grab a bite to eat at a new restaurant, etc.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company located in Tampa, Florida.  Our long distance and local movers are passionate about making sure your move is as smooth and stress-free as possible.  We have been in business for more than three decades and are an approved military storage facility.  Whether you have a door-to-door move or an interim move, our movers and packers will treat you with the professionalism and care you deserve.  Don’t trust just any full service moving company.  Let us show you what makes our full service movers different.  Give your friends at 3 Guys Moving a call today!

Strategies for Unpacking

in , , ,

We are continuing our series on strategies for unpacking after a move.  Your friends at 3 Guys Moving understand that moving is stressful. The goal of our movers and packers is to ease your burden and make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.  When our full service movers bring items into your new home, we will place them wherever you ask for them to be placed.  Be sure to direct your movers and packers to place all boxes in their corresponding rooms.  They will assemble your furniture upon request.  Doing this will set you up for success as you begin the unpacking process.

Our previous article discussed the importance of prioritizing the rooms that need to be unpacked and tackling them one at a time.  We also covered breaking down empty boxes and moving them out of the way to help reduce “clutter anxiety”.  Let’s look at a few more unpacking tips to consider.

SET UP ELECTRONICS AND APPLIANCES

Try to unpack and set up the appliances and electronics you need to ensure your ability to be productive.  Computers, Wi-Fi, televisions, sound systems, coffee makers and air fryers are among some of the electronics and appliances you may want to consider setting up sooner than later.

BEGIN TO MAKE THE SPACE YOUR OWN

Making the space begin to feel like your own can ease stress and even help you keep your momentum.  Hang a few pictures, display family photos, fill the wine rack with wine, anything that makes your space feel like “home”.

EAT AND STAY HYDRATED

Physical limitations can keep you from achieving your unpacking goals.  While it is easy to lose track of time, be sure to stay hydrated and eat regular meals to help remain alert and keep your body in tip top shape.

Our next article will cover more unpacking tips courtesy of our movers and packers.

Planning Your Unpacking Strategy

Planning Your “Unpacking” Strategy

in , , , , ,

Unpacking is one of the most daunting tasks of moving.  Even if you hire movers and packers to pack your items, you still must deal with unpacking and organizing. Sitting in a room full of boxes can seem overwhelming.  However, it does not have to be a stressful process.  Our next series of articles will cover some tips to consider when you are planning your unpacking strategy. Let’s take a look:

TACKLE ONE ROOM AT A TIME

One way to help prevent becoming overwhelmed is to make a plan to unpack one room at a time.  Many people choose to unpack their kitchen first, but you can prioritize the order in which you unpack each room based on your needs.

BREAK DOWN EMPTY BOXES

Clutter causes anxiety, and one way to reduce “clutter anxiety” is to break down each box once it is unpacked and either move it to a designated part of the house or throw it away.

Our next series of articles will cover more tips to help ease the stress of unpacking.

If you are planning and upcoming move, 3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that can handle all of your packing, moving and short term storage needs.

More Packing Tips from Our Movers and Packers

in , , ,

We are continuing our series highlighting some of the packing strategies used by professional movers and packers.  Our previous articles discussed utilizing wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, leaving items in drawers and security shrink wrapping the drawers for transport, utilizing linens, towels, and blankets to keep fragile items from breaking, and implementing a color code system to keep items organized. This article will cover two more packing tips to consider.

UTILIZE POTS, BOWLS AND CONTAINERS

When packing your pots, bowls, and containers, try to put items inside of them before placing them in moving boxes.  Small kitchen items, spices, utensils, gadgets, etc. are ideal items to pack in pots, bowls and containers.

PACK YOUR SUITCASES WITH CLOTHES AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS

Since unpacking could take awhile, be sure to pack your suitcases with essential items including a few days’ worth of clothes, medicine, phone chargers, and anything else you cannot live without for three or more days.

Packing Tips to Help Your Move Go Smooth

Packing Tips to Help Your Move Go Smooth

in , ,

We are continuing our series on packing tips to help your move go smooth.  There are several strategies movers and packers take to ensure your belongings are organized and stay safe.  Our previous article discussed the importance of utilizing wardrobe boxes and considering the option of leaving items in drawers and tightly shrink wrapping them for the move.  Today, we will look at two more packing strategies to consider.

UTILIZE LINENS, TOWELS, BLANKETS, ETC. TO KEEP ITEMS FROM BREAKING

Linens, towels, blankets, etc. make excellent padding. Fragile and breakable items can be wrapped and cushioned by them to keep them secure and protected.  You’re moving them anyway so why not put them to good use!

IMPLEMENT A COLOR CODE SYSTEM

Implementing a color code system will save you significant time when unpacking. Simply purchase some colored stickers and assign each room a color.  When your movers and packers unload the truck, ask them to place boxes in their corresponding room. Color coding makes it so much easier to identify where the box goes vs. having it handwritten.

We will discuss more useful packing tips in our next article.

When moving, you have two choices for packing. You can either pack your belongings yourself or hire movers and packers to do it for you.  There are many advantages of using full service movers and packers.  For instance, a packing and moving company sends professionals who are equipped with the proper packing materials to securely pack your items.  Movers and packers not only save time but alleviate the stress of packing.

If you choose to pack yourself, you can still hire a moving company to transport your belongings.  Our next series of articles will offer some tips to consider if you choose to pack yourself.

PUT HANGING CLOTHES IN WARDROBE BOXES

Leaving your clothes on the hanger and hanging them in wardrobe boxes is ideal because it makes them so much easier to unpack.  All you need to do is have the movers and packers place the wardrobe boxes in their corresponding rooms and then transfer the clothes directly into the closets.

WRAP DRESSER DRAWERS

One simple but effective time saving trick is to leave your clothes and other items in your dresser drawers and securely shrink wrap them.  Once you get to your new home, simply unwrap the drawer and put it in the dresser.

Why Climate Controlled Storage is Important

in , , , ,

When making a temporary or interim move, you may need to store some of your belongings for a period of time. A moving and storage company is ideal because they send movers and packers to prepare and move your belongings to a temporary storage space.  However, beware of moving companies that advertise storage services but provide few details.  If you want to ensure your belongings are truly safe and secure, they need to be placed in climate controlled storage.  Here’s why:

PROTECT CONTENTS FROM EXTREME WEATHER AND HUMIDITY

Extreme heat or cold and humidity can damage and destroy items such as furniture, documents, photos, artwork, electronics and more.  A climate controlled facility has the temperature and humidity set at optimal levels. 3 Guys Moving is a moving and storage company that provides climate controlled storage for our valued customers.

SECURITY

A climate controlled storage facility is more secure than an outdoor self-storage facility where tons of people have access.  The only people who have access to our secure warehouse is our trusted employees.

CLEANER

A climate controlled storage facility is better sealed and has more insulation than an outdoor facility. This helps keep the air quality high and controls dust and debris. The movers and packers take this a step further and place your items in secure storage containers to further keep them protected.

Your friends at 3 Guys Moving stand ready to serve your interim storage needs.  As a moving and storage company, we have a 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse that is secure and able to meet the residential and corporate storage needs of our customers. Our movers and packers have the knowledge and experience to prepare even the most fragile and sensitive items for safe storage.  Not all full service movers are equal.  We’ve been the trusted long distance and local movers serving the Tampa Bay area and beyond for more than three decades. Give us a call to learn more today.
