• Whether youre moving across the country or
  across the street, moving takes timea lot of it.
  Most of us are busy with work, school, or raising
  kids, and we simply dont have the time for any
  part of the moving process to go wrong. Nothings
  worse than arriving at your new home only to
  spend hours digging through boxes and bags to
  find what you need. If you plan on moving to or
  from Utah in the near future or are going through
  the process right now, here are ten tips to help
  you speed up the moving process.

• 1. Label Boxes by Room
• Once you begin packing, be sure to label each
  box based on the room where it will be stored.
  This will help with unpacking because you can put
  boxes exactly where they belong immediately after
  unloading the moving truck, rather than creating
  a mountain of boxes in your living room. Labeling
  boxes by room is also helpful if you need to
  unpack certain kitchen or bathroom items right
  after arriving at your new home in Utah.

• 2. Get Rid of Unwanted Items
• If you dont need every hair dryer, spatula,
  curling iron, or can opener that you own, toss it
  before moving day arrives. Each bulky item takes
  up space in boxes and bags during transit and
  takes up time when unpacking. Additionally, the
  spacing in your new home will be different, so
  you may not have room for everything. If you're
  hesitant to throw things out, consider donating
  your unwanted or unused items to goodwill.

• 3. Save the Most Important Items for Last
• The most time-consuming part of moving is
  unpacking. Packing smartly and creating an
  organized plan for what goes where will save you
  time and money when it comes to packing and
  unpacking. If there are items you may need as
  soon as you arrive, such as towels or cooking
  utensils, pack those last so they will be easily
  accessible to you.

• 4. Schedule Utility Services in Advance
• Before moving, call the utility companies in
  your new area to get your water, gas,
  electricity, and Internet running properly the
  day you move in. This way, you wont be stuck in
  a new home in Utah with no power on moving day.
  In addition, making this preliminary call before
  hiring a moving company will save you money and
  time because you will be able to use your kitchen
  instead of eating out.

• 5. Hire a Moving Company
• Moving companies in Utah offer valuable
  services that make the moving process easier and
  less stressful for homeowners. For example, if
  you have large pieces of furniture or appliances
  that will not fit in your trailer, a moving
  company will help transport and unload your
  possessions for you. Plus, these companies have
  the expertise to protect fragile items during
  transit and ensure that all of your belongings
  reach your new home in a timely manner.

• 6. Get Your Medical Records before Moving
• Do not forget to get your medical records
  before moving so you can obtain information about
  any prescription medications you may need and
  take with you during your move. Some medications
  may not be available at the pharmacy where you
  will be located after moving to or from Utah, so
  its best to have that information before
  starting the moving process.

• 7. Create a Packing Station
• One way to make the moving process a little
  smoother and quicker is to create a packing
  station where you can sort, pack, and label your
  belongings. If a large part of the living room is
  empty, you can use this space as your packing
  station. A designated packing area will help keep
  the rest of your house clean and accessible and
  speed up the overall packing process.

• 8. Stick to a Schedule
• If you want to move quickly and efficiently,
  create a tight moving schedule and be sure to
  stick to it--don't let yourself get behind. Fill
  your days with boxes and packing tape, and ensure
  that everything is labeled. Then you can start to
  unpack!

• 9. Get a Moving Trailer
• If you can use a trailer for the move,
  renting one in Utah for about 50-100 to move
  your heavier items is worth it. A moving trailer
  will help you transport large items such as
  furniture or appliances that would otherwise be
  difficult to move. Additionally, this will save
  room on your moving truck because these items
  would have otherwise been loaded separately from
  your personal belongings. When renting a trailer,
  be sure to measure the length of the largest
  furniture item so that it can fit in the trailer
  without scraping against the edges.
