Take as little as you can
You know that when you go to another state permanently the costs are rocket high. Something always comes up and you have to be ready to pay it.
Is there a way to save some more bucks, then? Of course it is. And Tammy has it.
She recommends taking as little stuff with you as possible. Take a careful look at everything you own and narrow down the necessities. I mean, honestly, you can live without your collection of primary school drawings while the hygiene set is a real must.
Find a purpose for the remaining belongings
Okay, let’s say you chose the top favorite items. Now what? What happens to the bunch of items you aren’t taking with you?
It’s the best if you make someone else happy with them rather than just throwing them away. By this I mean doing some of the following:
-Sell them online on sites like Craigslist or eBay
-Organize a garage sale
-Donate them to charity (people less fortunate than you will be ecstatic) and try to get a deduction of tax
You have to admit; these are pretty cool ideas that’ll freshen up your budget.
Check the legal requirements
Don’t even think about leaving your home without finding out what legal requirements apply to the state you’re moving to. Tammy strictly warns of this. That’s why, she and GPS Moving has always kept the customers informed about this.
You should ask the same of your chosen moving company.
Start with the company’s license. Ask if they have a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration as well as a number from the Department of Transportation. This will show you who you’re dealing with, says Tammy.
Then, discover if any special permits are required in between the states for out of state moving. Your chosen company can help you with this.
Discover the company’s efficiency
You need to be sure that all the goods will follow you into the new state and arrive undamaged to your new place. Tammy considers this as the most important part when choosing who to trust with the move.
She suggests that you comb through the Net a little and find reviews about the service of the company you’re planning to hire. Ooh, sounds like you should transform into Sherlock for a while. So awesome.
Not to mention that by reading other people’s experiences you’ll see how the company manages the whole procedure.
Wow! These were really great tips, right? Thanks, Tammy! She really broke down everything you need to know and do when moving out of the state. I’m sure you’ll never look at the out of state movers the same way again. Cheers to that!
