Well, with all of the revelry surrounding Halloween, some may have had to push their moving in date back. If that’s you and you need to move today, don’t panic. Call a local Oklahoma City mover immediately. During the week moves are often the best time to move anyway. Typically there are fewer moves scheduled during the early part of the week. So really a weekday move between Monday and Wednesday could be better on your pocket. You may have to wait until the first jobs of the day are complete, but you can at least relax knowing that in a couple of hours you will be on your way to your new apartment or house. There is no same day fee for moving, so if you encounter that type of scenario, call another Oklahoma City mover. Let me know how your relocation goes. Good moving to ya!

Once your Oklahoma City Movers unload your items, there are a number of things to remember as you attempt to settle in your new home. Below are just a few important reminders.

Smoke Alarms

First things first: install new batteries in your smoke alarms and make sure they’re functioning properly. Faulty smoke alarms can be lethal. Don’t be a victim.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

It’s estimated that more than 200 Americans die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide can be emitted from water heaters and other fuel burning appliances. Be on the safe side and invest in a good quality carbon monoxide detector.

Avoid Burglary

Make sure all your doors have locks. Don’t place valuables in sight of open windows. If you have a sliding glass door, use a broom stick or other device to insure that the door can’t be forced open. If you have the money, you might consider a professionally installed and monitored security system.

These and other actions will help insure your new home is as safe as possible.

Holidays like Labor Day are great when it comes to moving. The additional day off is a definite help when it comes to getting settled in your new home. Are you moving this Labor day? Some Oklahoma City movers are open this Monday. Call and find out. If they aren’t open on Monday, ask if they have any availability on Sunday afternoon. This will still allow you some time on Monday to unpack and get settled before being thrust back into your work-week. Believe it or not some moving companies will be open all weekend. Even if they are booked today, they may call you back if another customer cancels. Call around or visit a couple of websites of Oklahoma City movers for a moving quote.

In most instances your long distance move should begin with a free in-home estimate from an in-home estimator. The estimator will conduct a survey of your property. His or her goal is to map out a move plan and to provide you with fair and honest pricing.

Once you’ve selected your Oklahoma City mover, you now need to begin to prepare your home for the move. You will receive several tips from the moving company on how to make the move as smooth as possible. I’ve listed a few of my own below:

• Plan a garage sale to eliminate items that you don’t need.
• Secure change of address information from postal service.
• Notify utility companies of cancellation of services.
• Assemble important documents (i.e. policies, birth certificates, school records etc.).
• Garner packing materials.
• Disconnect major appliances

Remember you’re looking for a moving company that is going to be with you throughout the entire process of your move. As time draws close to your family’s big day you should receive a call from your relocation specialist to confirm the arrival time of the crew. He will also be checking to see if there are any last minute details that he and his team may need to address. If you are taking advantage of their packing services the relocation specialist may advise you of a packing day prior to the move. If that’s the case, the team will arrive at your home with ample packing supplies to get your house move ready. Move ready simply means everything packed, disassembled, labeled and facing the door. This move ready process assists your Oklahoma City moving crew in expediting the loading of the carrier. Also, another tidbit to note, some moving companies will throw in something here and there …maybe free wardrobe boxes. It never hurts to ask.

On move day you want to make sure that the foreman goes over the logistics/move plan with you to make certain you are comfortable with the process. Once you guys have met the crew should then begin loading, because time is money. At the end of loading I recommend a final walk-through of the home. Once loading is done, unloading is only hours away!

Oklahoma City movers are not strangers to catastrophic events. However, every now and then it does cause you to pause and give serious thought to relocating to another area. But for most of us, this area is home and there’s no other place we’d rather live. Storms, tornados, bombings and more can’t separate us from our beloved city. If you’re in the midst of recuperating from the recent storms and have to move to another area, contact a reputable Oklahoma City mover to assist with your temporary relocation or storage need. Storage is a good solution for those individuals who are unsure of what they’re next move is going to be.

If you are packing yourself – try to use the original boxes for your electronics. Some items require special attention, for example – Plasma Televisions are very temperamental. If the are tilted more than 45 degrees in the wrong direction the pressure on the screen can make the screen implode! If that happens, you have a large expensive radio.

Hello Oklahoma City! Some people ask me what is the main benefit of storing your belongings with me… It is simple because there is more than one benefit.

Our storage is in a climate controlled environment.

The fact that we do an inventory of your belongings – so you know what you have stored with us.

In self-storage places almost anyone could have access to your belongings. Using our storage is more secured, because access to your belongings is more restricted.

More and more people in Oklahoma City are finding not only how easy it is to use our storage – but how great it is to use our moving services. We make Oklahoma City moves easy!
