Find everything you need to know about your new place of residence

  • Contact the City Hall or the local Chamber of Commerce and ask for a new resident package. If not, browse their websites to learn a few things about the place you are planning to move to: where are the libraries, the parks, the best schools and places of interest.
  • Search the internet for local dentists, doctors and if you have pets, veterinarians too. Sure, you can do it after moving, but it’s better to know where to look when you get there.
  • If you haven’t picked up a place to live, compare real estate prices in the area and choose the best neighborhood for you in terms of facilities, costs and other useful stuff.
  • Check the local schools even if you have no kids, to see if the town or city you are planning to move to is suitable for a family.

Pack your things and purge the useless stuff

Long distance moving NJ has its perks but also a few benefits. One of them is the possibility to get rid of all the things you have no use for and purge the house of everything useless.

Keep in mind that long distance moving NJ means your stuff needs to be transported a long way from home. The longer the distance, the bigger the chance of damaging your belongings on the road if they are not packed well. So whether you trust the moving company or not to handle with the utmost professionalism all your belongings, it’s better to pre-pack yourself the most sensitive stuff and ensure that a few bumps on the road won’t damage them.

Another important aspect of long distance relocation is that you can get rid off useless stuff and pack only the necessaries. It’s most probably that the movers will charge you less if you need less space and a smaller vehicle for your belongings. Weight the value of furniture too, whether it is worth the shipping costs or not. Maybe all that you need is to redecorate your new home and you can sell or donate the old stuff.

If you have too many things you want to get rid off but don’t want to just let them go without any profit, have a moving garage or yard sale.

Find the right movers for you

Long distance moving NJ is not an easy task. And hiring the best moving company may be a harder task than you think. There are service providers which can move your belongings across the country with the utmost professionalism and at a medium cost and companies that will charge you an arm and a leg and deliver damaged goods way after the term you have previously established in the contract. To be sure that all your things are safe, you may want to conduct an online search for the best service provider and read all the reviews and testimonials you can find on their websites or on niche blogs. Weight your choices carefully and never hire the cheapest company or movers that are not present online and you cannot find any references on them. Don’t be fooled by adverts and marketing, trust only the real information you find at the end of the search. Before hiring the movers, pre-pack your sensitive belongings and ask for a written estimation of costs, just to be sure no future surprises will occur. And if you have a car, drive it to the new residence; don’t choose to ship it there because the shipment may take months.

Prepare for a big step in your life

Moving to another place is a big change in your life. Even if you are relocating to a town or city where you have friends or family, changing your residence is never easy, especially when you are moving across the country. It will take time to adjust and settle in, so prepare yourself emotionally for a big step in your life.
