4 Tips For Moving During the Holidays
One of the most hectic times of year is Christmas: you have to get the decorations up, buy gifts for your loved ones, and make time to see your family and friends, on top of everyday responsibilities. Taking on a move at this time can therefore seem very overwhelming.
However, circumstances can make a holiday relocation necessary, so if you are planning on moving Calgary homes during Christmas time, here are 4 simple tips to give you a drama-free move!
1. Label Your Boxes Well
While you should always label your boxes for a seamless move-in process, this is particularly important during the holidays. This is because you must ensure that after you move in, you should know where all your party attire, holiday decorations, and fine china are.
Tip: In the label, include the contents of the box, the room it belongs to, and whether or not the items are fragile.
Bonus: One of the best things about moving right before the holidays is that you don’t have to worry about lugging a big Christmas tree into your home, or bringing the boxes of ornaments down from the attic. You can have your movers place everything exactly where you want in your new home!
2. Use The Extra Time to Pack
Typically, you’ll get some time off work or school during the holidays, and this could be the ideal time to begin organising and packing your belongings. Planning in advance for your relocation can have many benefits, including:
- Lower relocation costs
- Less stress and a more enjoyable process
- Lower risk of injury to you, your family, and your movers
- Less likelihood that your valuables will be damaged or lost during the relocation
Tip: If you have kids they can also contribute and take on some responsibility during the move by packing up their rooms.
3. Set Aside Your Moving Funds in Advance
With the holiday gifts and parties, budgets are already tight during the holidays, and the price of a move can really start to add up once you factor in the cost for moving supplies, labor, and any other fees you have to pay to move into your new place.
How to avoid this: In order to avoid hitting a roadblock with your budget, it’s important to start setting aside funds for your move months in advance.
4. Hire a Professional Moving Service
It’s the holiday season, so no doubt you already have a lot on your plate without having to worry about packing up your home and other aspects of your relocation. Hiring a reliable moving company will significantly lower your stress levels and ensure that:
- The relocation happens in a quick and efficient manner
- Your family is protected from any injuries or falls
- Your move will be more cost-effective
- Possessions are safely transported and protected from damage
