Here are our top tips for those considering an interstate move:

Start Early- When moving out of state, starting early can't be emphasized enough. From sorting out which items to keep, to figuring out logistical details, give yourself a minimum of 8 weeks to prepare.

Inventory Your Belongings- Before you start packing, make a list of all your belongings. This helps in determining the type and number of packing supplies you'll need and aids in tracking items during transit.

Declutter Before You Pack-  Moving is a great opportunity to declutter and streamline your possessions. Consider holding a yard sale or donating items you no longer need. Remember, less baggage means reduced moving costs.

Choose a Trusted Moving Company- Your belongings are precious, and entrusting them to a reliable moving company is crucial. At Direct Moving and Storage, we serve Westchester and Rockland Counties with integrity. Our team's professionalism ensures your items will be handled with the utmost care.

Consider Storage Solutions- If your new home isn't ready or if you're downsizing, you might need storage solutions. Direct Moving and Storage offers secure storage facilities, ensuring your belongings are safe until you're ready for them.

Pack an Essentials Bag- Having a bag or box with essentials like toiletries, medications, a couple of outfits, and important documents will be helpful when you first arrive at your new home and haven't unpacked everything.

Notify Important Parties- Remember to notify entities like the post office, banks, credit card companies, and others about your change of address.

Ask About Valuation Coverage- Ensure that your belongings are protected during the move. Inquire about valuation coverage options to safeguard against unforeseen damages or losses.

Stay Calm and Rely on Professionals- Moving can be stressful, but with a trusted company like Direct Moving and Storage by your side, you can rest assured knowing your move is in expert hands. Let our team handle the heavy lifting, literally and figuratively.
