When Moving Long Distance, What NOT to take And What To Do With The Rest
Updated: Aug 21
When moving long distance, it's important to consider which items are worth transporting and which are not. Here are some things you should consider not moving long distance:
Perishable items - These items, such as food or plants, may not survive a long journey and may spoil or die.
Hazardous materials - Items such as chemicals, flammable liquids, or weapons are not allowed in moving trucks.
Furniture that won't fit - If the furniture won't fit in your new home, it's not worth moving.
Items with sentimental value only - While sentimental items can be hard to let go of, if they don't serve a practical purpose or have monetary value, they may not be worth moving.
Now, for the items you do decide to move, here are some tips:
Make an inventory - Take an inventory of all your belongings to make sure nothing gets lost or left behind.
Pack efficiently - Use appropriate packing materials to ensure your items don't get damaged during transport.
Label everything - Label boxes and furniture pieces to make unpacking easier.
Consider using a moving company - Moving companies have experience with long-distance moves and can make the process smoother.
