Movers in tel sheva – Less Is More

Only when you start packing your “entire life” into boxes, you realize how much things (or may I say garbage) you have. The rule here is simple, the less you will have to carry to your new apartment the easier this all process will be. You don’t want to move in tel sheva extra items, because the less you have, the less you will have to pack, therefore – you will spend less money on carries. And of course – it will be easier and take less time to unload and unpack everything in your new place. It may sound funny, but several weeks before moving in tel sheva, start gradually using different foods you have stacked, and you know it will be hard or not practical to take with you. Besides that, around the same time, you start “eliminating” your food stocks, start organizing your belongings: Return borrowed items you may have, get rid of stuff you don’t use (you can sell them online or donate them), and don’t need anymore. And separate items you use on a daily base from the ones you hardly use – it will help you determine what to pack first and schedule your packing order.

Moving apartment – Pack It Don’t Break It

After you finished organizing your possessions, you’re ready to start packing. If you choose not to hire packing and moving services in tel sheva and pack by yourself, pack everything gradually using the schedule you decided before (first pack the items you rarely use, and leave the ones you need to the end). Moving can include a lot of unexpected costs, to reduce unnecessary costs, we advise you not to purchase boxes. Instead, you can find some good boxes at no cost in every cardboard recycling station (they are usually located next to supermarkets, malls, and gas stations (.
We recommend you on packing boxes by rooms and subjects (writing on the side of each box what it contains and what room it will go). For example; a box of plates from the kitchen will be labeled as (kitchen, plates), or towels from the bathroom will be labeled as (bathroom, towels). Another important packing hack is using the smaller boxes for heavier items (or suitcase with wheels), and the bigger boxes keep for lighter items. So there will not be any box too heavy to carry. Also make sure you pack delicate items such as mirrors or glasses separately, wrapping them with bubble wrap or packing paper (or your towels and sheets if you don’t have any other alternatives). To avoid broken dishes, pack your plates vertically, it will decrease their chances to break. Write on all of those particular boxes “fragile” and let the movers in tel sheva know they need to handle them with extra tenderness. The last tip regarding the topic; take all of your valuable/sentimental belongings in your car on “d day”. That way you will guarantee they will not get lost or damaged during the transport in tel sheva.

Moving houses in tel sheva – Let’s start

Because we are dealing here with a huge assignment, you need to “break” it into small and manageable chores. Our advice to you is to start by going room by room dividing the objects in it. At this point, you could find which items you don’t need any more and throw them away (or even better sell or donate them), and return items you have borrowed, but still haven’t returned. You should also define “special” belongings you want to exclude from the regular packages. We are talking about delicate or valuable objects you would like to take in your car by yourself. You should put these items aside. After you sorted out your belongings, and you have roughly calculated the amount of equipment needed to be transported, it’s time to find the right movers.

Remember to keep all of your documents and information arranged (bills, lease or purchase contracts, contact information, and your contract with the packing and moving services), create a main location for everything you use and need during this process, so it will always be approachable. About a month before your move you should also start notifying your services providers about changing your new address (that includes: electricity, water, internet, cable, phone, bank and credit card companies, schools, post office, etc). As you see there are a lot of companies to inform, and it can take some time, so don’t wait until the last moment, just to find out you don’t have electricity in your new place. This is also the time to start collecting as many free boxes as you can and start reducing the amount of food in your fridge (because it’s tricky to maintain food during the transport). At this point, you can also separate your possessions and begin packing objects you rarely use, or ones you sure will not be needed until you move out.

Kicking it into a higher gear

Around 2-3 weeks before moving day, you need to take your packing game to the next level. at this point, you should pack as many items as possible, keep only items you use daily and make a special box for them, that will be closed at the very end.

Go room by room and confirm you packed everything. The best way to do it is by cleaning each room. Withdraw some cash for food and extras you may need on moving day. call to the movers and make sure they are still coming and there are no issues. Ensure your mail forwarded to the new house with the post office with follow-me service.
