Relocating with your Pet


Relocating with your pet can be a big hassle since you can’t package your pet like an object (cruel and illegal)! Traveling long distance to your new house can be painstaking if you have a pet so you need to accommodate it. Be sure to bring a cage that has plenty of food and water for the journey. You don’t want your pet to be roaming around the truck when it is moving.

It is best to research a veterinarian near your new neighborhood just in case your pet feels sick from the journey or during the stay at your new home. Be sure to have all the prescription and records on your pet for your new veterinarian.

Remember to have all the accessories necessary to happily accommodate your pet when you relocate. If the pet is too hyper, offer sedatives so the pet can have a nice sleep during the journey to your new destination. Happy Relocating!

Usually, the moving companies rates are determined by several factors. Here are 3 tips that can help you save if you ever need moving services.

First of all, the date can greatly influence the price. Book your moving during an offseason to greatly offset the price. Second of all, book it on a weekday for weekends are higher rates.

Second of all, the distance will greatly influence the price (because of gas and time). Well, you can’t change the destination but if you can find the easiest shortcut from your place to the destination, it will definitely help the driver save time and therefore your money.

Third of all, the size of the stuff need to be moved will greatly affect the pricing for moving companies rates. It is best to pack the stuff you really need and maybe discard or just leave some of the old items behind. You can even sell your old stuff, make some money, and then buy new ones in your new home. Now that’s a smart way to save money and get brand new items!

These are 3 important factors into determining the moving companies rates so think ahead and be prepared to help reduce your moving price. You can also add in your bargaining and negotiation skills to reduce a bit of the price!

How to Pack When Moving

When you need to pack, you need to have the proper tools in order to get the job done. Here are some of the tools that are a necessity in your packing endeavors.

  1. Sticky notes
  2. Razor Knife or a Scissor
  3. A Notepad
  4. Sharpie Marker
  5. Cardboxes of all sizes
  6. Tape
  7. Bubble Wrap
  8. iPod
The first thing you do when you pack is to turn on your iPod because it will be one heck of a day! When you pack, it is advisable that you do it one room at a time to help organize your materials in the cardbox. Then use a sharpie marker and write the room on the packed cardbox including the important items. Remember to empty out all your wardrobes, drawers, shelfs and cabinets. Pack the heavy stuff in a small box so it is easier to carry them.

List all the things you packed on a notepad as a reference of where the items are stored. Tape the boxes after it is full to avoid them from spilling out. Use bubble wrap on all your items as a way to protect your precious stuff (wrap them up nicely and have a good amount of bubble wrap in the bottom).

Also when packing to move, pack the things you need first last since you will be able to get them out faster when you move them to your new house. Plan ahead and move on a weekday for convenience!

How to Move Internationally

Moving internationally can be a major headache for people, and that could take a long process to get everything up and running. From service charges to seeing your precious items arriving safe and sound to your new house, moving internationally is a pain most people like to avoid.

First of all, you need to find a great mover that has international experience, ideally a country where you are moving into. The moving company of its own country (with international experience) knows the in and out to get your stuff to your new home fast and safe!

Also, all your items and furnitures need to be neatly packaged or risk being damaged during its travel to their new home. It is best to ask the moving company on what and what not to do since they know the regulation and inspection of their home country. Sometimes... it is just easier to just sell it and buy new stuff in your new country!

Find a good moving company in the country you are moving to to make your move internationally easier, faster and less frustrating! Either that or a company that has a lot of international experience who knows the in and out in the country you're in.

How to Move Cross Country

Most trucks for moving from one place to another can be found online. If not, you can always hit the yellowpages to find companies that would do it for the best possible price. Of course price and quality goes hand in hand so the cheapest price might not be the wisest.

Here's the sizes of moving trucks

cargo van - very small

10' moving trucks- small

16' moving trucks- medium

24' moving trucks- large

When deciding on the proper destination to move, you need to check out the area to understand the neighbors, stores and people you will be encountering on a daily basis when you move in. The day before you move, you should definitely have a little celebration with all your friends and families one last time (like a banquet)! Get a good night sleep for the next day will be a big one (it will be a long travel)! Pack plenty of snacks, food, and drinks during the ride!
