Moving out of state-Remember these tips

            Always plan well ahead. Make sure you get a professional mover and packer right in time. Always plan your every packing. Some of your household belongings may need more time to be packed. So make them ready for packing the day before itself. Don't wait for the last moment. Make sure you have enough finances to back you up if there is an emergency like you need an extra truck or a container. Things that you have a hard time parting with, but which will inevitably be stored in a garage, storage facility, or shed after the move should be packed in stackable containers that are rodent and dust proof. If you are packing by yourself make sure all your packages are well tagged. Beware of fragile objects. Pack them separately and mark them fragile. As far as packing is concerned hiring professional packers is the best idea. They give guarantee for packed items. Most moving services include their own packers. There are licensed movers out there. Go for them than the unlicensed ones. Its always better if you experience any problems regarding your moving properties. When hiring a moving company always inform them about the size of your house and about any obstructions in the way like trees or posts, as this will help the movers to pick the right vehicle or container for moving. Ask about expected gratuities and commit such gratuities to the contract in writing. Have the contract include a guarantee of how many hours the job will take. Check that the contract clearly includes all charges and important dates; packing, pick-up, delivery, etc.

DO NOT leave your old home before the movers are completed loading the truck and are ready to depart for your new home . You must sign the bill of lading. If you do not sign the bill of lading upon completion of loading the truck, you open yourself to liability. Never allow movers to pack your valuable properties like jewelleries, bonds, checks and other important documents, instead pack it yourself and make sure those are with you always. Correct any damages to the house made by you otherwise it will affect your security deposit. Again the key to correct and easy moving is the planning. If you plan with your moving company that will be a very tension free moving for you and the company. Each state have their own transportation rules make sure you are well within those rules.

Interstate movers charge you according to cubic foot also they will take in to account the distance and the house measurement and the aspects like staircase and all.
