Ah, summertime. People usually think of swimming, baseball, and vacations during this time of year, but one important thing usually goes unmentioned: moving.
As we rapidly approach the busiest time of the year for families, students, individuals and businesses to move their household goods, it’s easy to get overwhelmed as temperatures rise. Don’t sweat it, though, we’ve got thousands of on-site service providers on our online shipping marketplace ready to jump in and transport your items.
There are several things to be mindful of when coming up with a game plan for your big move, but by far the most important is to compile a list of all the items you need moved, including their dimensions and weight. Going through your entire home, apartment, or office is a cumbersome, time-consuming task but trust us—you’ll be glad you did. Otherwise, you could accrue additional expenses or book with a service provider who can’t fit all your items on their truck if you leave several things off your booking itinerary.
Of course, we understand it’s difficult to account for every single item you own when listing your household move. You never realized you had so much stuff, did you? Nobody’s perfect, but it’s crucial to create a moving itinerary and get your list of items as accurate as possible for simplicity’s sake. Download our FREE Moving Checklist and Moving Inventory Templates to help you build your lists and stay organized. Establishing an accurate list of your items early on will make for a smoother, simpler shipping experience for all parties involved.
By following this one simple step and getting organized early on, you can make this process a whole lot easier. Whether it’s a few boxes or a couch, make sure your service provider knows what they need to move before they book your uShip listing—it could save you time, money, and unneeded stress!
