So the time has come to leave your beloved apartment or home, if you are moving because you have to then there is nothing worse if you are settled. But with every move comes the great task of the dreaded sort out of stuff you have collected over the years. No one likes the thought of digging through the bottom of closets or having to even climb in to attack spaces and dingy storage spaces in your apartment complex. Movers Manhattan feels your pain but you can actually find that you can make some money for the move by selling off old stuff you don’t use.
The one good thing about having a clear out before you move is you not only free up some vital space but it will be cheaper if you hire a movers because you will have less stuff to transfer. Movers Manhattan also recommends donating stuff to a good cause if you don’t need it. There are many charities out there that would be more than willing to take your old items. So that old saying is true, one persons junk is another person’s treasure.
Movers Manhattan also recommends trying to sell stuff online, eBay and Craigslist are fantastic online services you can use to sell stuff very quickly and efficiently. If you have old phones and laptops you don’t use you will be surprised how much you can get for them online.
Have a special room where all of your stuff you are going to sell can be set aside; you don’t want to get new stuff you mixed up with the old stuff you are selling.
Once you start to box items up Movers Manhattan recommends you label them quickly not to cause confusion once you get in to your new location wondering where everything is. If you have 30 plus boxes with no labels you are going to get frustrated not having a clue where the kitchen stuff is or the bathroom stuff. And if you hire movers they are just going to drop them in any room, they won’t let you open them and re-move them again as they will have another job to go to after yours.
Make sure you don’t have any loose items if you are hiring movers and what Movers Manhattan means by that is stuffing items in trash bags and leaving them in the middle of the floor expecting the movers to run them back and forth to the truck. They will insist that all loose items are in boxes for security and safety. If you don’t have the extra boxes they will prove them to you and charge you a fee for this which can soon add up very quickly.
You can also consider this; if you have items still in boxes after a month of being in the new place then really have a think about getting rid of these items. If you have not used them after being in there a month there is good chance you are never going to use them so that’s our advice from Movers Manhattan.
