When you only have a month to plan your move

Some of us don’t have the luxury of having 8 weeks notice when moving. Some of us only get 4 weeks. Although that may seem like a lot of time to some, it is not really a long time at all. There is a lot of planning, packing, and organization needed when moving.

So here is how you can handle moving when you have only 4 weeks to make it happen:

#1 Call your Chicago moving company immediately to set up the date in which you need for them to arrive and help you pack up and go.

#2 If you don’t have a lot of time to pack, know that the New City Moving offers packing as a part of our Chicago moving services.

#3 Two weeks before the move, make sure you are packed. If you haven’t had a chance to pack, New City Moving sells boxes or we can pack for you. If you insist on packing on your own, don’t try to do too much at once. Pack a little bit at a time.

#4 If you live in an apartment building, reserve the elevator one week before the move. To make room in your home so that you can clean it up, place heavy boxes on the floor and stack lighter boxes on top of them.

#5 You will also want to reserve a parking area one to two weeks before the move so that the moving truck has a place to park.

#6 A few days before the move, double check everything. Ensure that you are good to go and make sure that your old home is cleaned up. You may also want to take a trip to your new home and make sure it is clean before the Chicago moving company places your belongings inside.

Believe it or not, most people do move in only a month and they make a success of it. When you have a quality Chicago mover helping you out, the process can be much smoother.
