Planning Tips: Moving Out on a Tight Deadline

Moving out of your home requires a lot of planning and organization. But what if you’re moving in a very short timeframe? How can you move everything out of your home in time? 

To help you move out, the expert movers at Tiger Moving & Storage share some quick tips in this post. 

Stay Calm

First off, don’t panic. You’ll be able to plan things more properly if you stay calm. 

Reserve a Moving Crew As Soon As Possible

Since professional movers book appointments weeks in advance, they might not accept last-minute bookings. That’s why you need to find and contact a professional moving company as soon as possible. 

Make sure to vet your prospective moving company. Ask friends and family for recommendations for moving companies, and read customer reviews.

Donate or Sell Things You Don’t Need

You’ll be able to move out of your home more quickly if you have fewer things to move. Consider throwing away unwanted items, selling some of them online or, if you have enough time, holding a garage sale. Alternatively, you can donate some of your unwanted belongings to a charity or bring them to a thrift store. Some charities and organizations might even offer to pick up your belongings from your home. 

Label Boxes

It’s easy to misplace things and even more so if you’re in a rush to move out. That’s why you should label boxes and keep the ones containing essentials close. You can also use your smartphone to take pictures and keep track of your belongings. 

Still looking for a professional moving company? Here’s a vetting tip: the number of years a company has been working in the industry can give you an idea of their level of expertise and the level of service you can expect.
