While moving home from one place to another with our belongings it’s important to take care of the belongings that we ought to take along with us. Keeping the things safe in the process of transportation is our responsibility especially if a moving company is not involved in the transportation process. People generally tend to ignore the packing process while moving from one place to another while shifting their homes. This ignorance costs a lot in terms of breakage and distortion of the household items that are put haphazardly into the truck without using proper packing material. The loss is magnified when the distance is long or the ride is a bumpy one.

Packing material and the packing style play a crucial role in the transportation of household items and office material. This not only reduces the risk of damage to the material but also decreases the packing and unpacking time which generally eats into the time spent in the process of transportation of the items. There are companies that will provide a full range of packing material like boxes and buffer to be used for fragile material. These boxes are generally strong and easily stackable in the transport vehicle.

Many people will not start packing until the day arrives when one has to move, this is a big mistake as you need to make your preparations in advance. Make sure that you start packing your material at least one week in advance for households that has an average number of items to be transported. For your fragile items like vases, cups and other glassware; things that are breakable, one should use a good quality buffer like bubble wrap. Make sure that the items are organized and you are clear which item to go in which box. Many people will use newspapers to pack their material which is a wrong practice. As the ink from newspapers will be found on the material that has been packed with it.

Make sure to secure the bottom of the boxes with high quality tapes as you never know how the boxes will be handled during transportation. While organizing the boxes in the transport vehicle make sure that the heavy boxes are kept at the bottom and the boxes that are light in weight or have the fragile items in them are kept at the top. Make sure that all the items in the boxes are tightly packed as a small movement may break them in the process of transportation. You can use plain paper to stuff the top and the space that has been left by the bubble wrap.

Taking car of the material being transported yourself even if a moving company is involved will make sure that you don’t lose one of your favorite pieces of vase or glassware.

Many people believe moving and relocation to be a challenging and hectic job. But to some people it is a part of their lives for example families of military officials or people who do provide moving and relocation services.

While moving people do mention about Local Move and Interstate Move. Local Move means when people / businesses move from one place to another within 100 miles from the area of its origin, in addition we can say that local moves are within the same state. But if a person / business move more than 99 miles within a state then it is called "Intrastate Move". But if a person / business move more than 100 miles and that too from one state to another state then we call it as a "InterState Move".

While opting out for moving companies you must complete your research. As there are many Moving Companies offer different types of services and at different prices. So, you need to choose the one which is offering the best moving services to you as per your budget.

After finalising the moving company you will need to contact them, so that they can send their sales representatives in order to provide you a quote as per your moving needs. You must ask the sales representatives to include insurance, materials and packing. Also ensure that the sales representative of your moving company gets a clear look of your destination before you get a final quote from him / her for your move.

Once you have decided to hire a moving company, it is recommended that you should get acquainted with the moving professionals. As these professionals will help you during your move and also these are a part of your contract which you have signed with moving company.

In addition, to these important points you should also ask your moving company to arrange appropriate truck that suits your moving needs and can arrive at your residence on moving day. Also do ask your local moving company whether they will assist you in your packing or you will have to do it of your own. It is suggested that you should hire your local moving company for packing tasks as well, as they are more professional in this field and will handle delicate things like - glass items, ceramics etc well. Also they will pack your things in such a manner which that you won't find it difficult while unpacking.
