Efficient Moving: 10 Practical Tips for a Stress-Free Moving Day

Moving can be time-consuming and stressful—but it doesn’t have to be. With the right preparation and a reliable moving company, your relocation can be smooth and efficient. Follow these 10 expert tips from Handy Movers, the professional moving company for both residential and business moves, to make your next move stress-free.

1. Start Planning Early

Begin at least six weeks in advance with a detailed moving checklist. Include tasks such as booking movers, arranging packing supplies, and notifying utilities and government agencies of your address change.

2. Compare Moving Quotes

Request multiple moving quotes to understand the market rates. Handy Movers provides a transparent, no-obligation quote with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.

3. Declutter Before Packing

Go through all your belongings and donate or sell items you no longer need. Fewer items mean lower moving costs and less packing time.

4. Pack Professionally

Use sturdy moving boxes and label each box with the room and contents. Want to save time? Take advantage of Handy Movers’ professional packing service for secure and organized transport.

5. Disassemble Large Furniture

Beds, wardrobes, and dining tables are easier to move when disassembled. This prevents damage and speeds up the moving process.

6. Book a Moving Lift for High-Rise Buildings

If you live in a high-rise or an apartment building in cities like Amsterdam or Rotterdam, a moving lift is often essential. Handy Movers can arrange and operate the lift for safe and efficient moving.

7. Protect Fragile Items

Wrap glassware, mirrors, and electronics with bubble wrap and use reinforced boxes. Our movers carry professional materials to ensure valuable items stay safe.

8. Arrange Parking in Advance

Secure a parking permit for the moving truck, especially in busy city centers, to avoid delays or fines on moving day.

9. Keep Important Documents Handy

Store passports, contracts, keys, and critical paperwork in a separate bag so they’re always within reach.

10. Hire a Professional Moving Company

The best way to guarantee a stress-free move is to work with professionals. Handy Movers offers full moving services—from packing and transport to furniture assembly and temporary storage—carried out by experienced, customer-focused movers.
