10 Time-Saving Tips for a Smooth Home Shifting

Moving to a new home requires a siginificant amount of time and effort. If not planned properly, it can turn into a stressful and daunting task. To help you out, here are 10 ways to make moving easier:

1. Schedule your move

Start packing your belongings, hiring movers, and notifying utilities like electricity and water at least a few weeks in advance. Make a checklist so you can keep track of everything. Even the little things you do before the day of moving are important.

2. Hire a good moving company

Never choose a company that is offering very low rates. An unreliable mover can cost you time and money later, especially if any of your belongings get lost. Check the company's credentials thoroughly but if you trust us, we can help you relocate hassle-free in Bangalore. We are the best packers in Bangalore.

3. Pare down your belongings

If an item is not essential to your life or won't be needed in your new home, don't waste your time packing it. Items like old books, half-finished projects, and half-empty cleaning products are best left behind. Hold a sale or give away stuff you don't need to friends and family.

4. Pack like a pro

Create a system for packing so all your bins end up in the right room in your new home. You can create a "color code" system - red bins for the living room, blue for the kitchen, etc. On the day of the move, make a plan of your home and hang it where the movers can easily see it.

5. Prepare the home for the move

Most movers don't remove items that are fixed to the home, so unplug appliances and lights beforehand if you're moving. You should also know what movers don't carry - they don't carry flammable items, perishable food, or plants, but if you choose us for your home shifting, we manage all things.

6. Gather packing supplies

To avoid the hassle of running out of packing tape on the morning of the move, gather a lot of supplies in advance. Start gathering cans, tape, bubble wrap, markers, etc. at the beginning of your moving process. You can also pack with what you already have, such as packing items in suitcases and plastic containers, and using pillowcases, scarves, and towels to protect fragile items.

7. Pack an emergency kit

Don't pack everyday essentials with other items, so you don't have to search through boxes later to find your ID or medications. Instead, pack a "last box" that contains all the essentials - like toiletries, snacks, important documents, etc.

8. Tidy up the house before moving in

It's easier to clean, paint and do other renovations when the house is empty. Before you move in your furniture and boxes, vacuum, clean walls and corners, wash the kitchen and bathroom floors and paint the walls.

9. Decide on the location of your furniture

Before you move your furniture in, decide where you want to place it. Measure the size of the items and place pieces of newspaper on the floor, stacking them to the size of the furniture. This will allow you to try out different floor plans without having to move furniture repeatedly.

10. Change address and notify companies before moving

Filling out a change of address form before you leave town can help prevent a lot of hassles, such as bills not being delivered on time, service interruptions and even identity theft. Before moving, you should set a date to disconnect your phone, cable and internet services and make arrangements to restart these services at your new address. There are many new services available now that let you do this online.

By following these time-saving tips, you can make your shifting smoother and stress-free. Happy moving!
