Reuse cartons
It seems like most people have done this year’s shopping online. Holiday and birthday gifts for yourself and others show up on your doorstep, and it is great - until you open them all up and have a stack of cartons 7 feet high to deal with.
Usually, you would recycle those cardboard boxes and obtain your moving cartons from a hardware store or perhaps your professional moving company in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, but if you are moving over the holiday season then you can re-purpose the cartons as moving boxes to not only save some money, but to help reduce your carbon footprint!
Keep close track of the weather
Weather can be quite flighty in the holiday season, regardless of where your home is. Make sure to watch the weather channel as best you are able to, to plan properly for extreme weather including snow, blowing wind, or lightning storms that make it challenging for even professional moving companies in Tulsa and Oklahoma City to perform the task well.
Donate gently used items to reduce the quantity of belongings you must move
Generally, we recommend people to pare down the quantity of belongings they must move ahead of when it is time to go not just to save cash, but to improve the moving process. Garage sales and estate sales are routine if the occupants are moving, but choosing to donate your lightly used pieces of furniture (or smaller items like garments) that you no longer need or are not taking with you is a fantastic approach to embrace the Holiday spirit and also bless someone in need. Numerous donation facilities encourage donations usually around the holiday season; try to find one nearby!
Integrate your holiday greeting card along with your life update
Quite a few families send Christmas cards to friends and family to wish them a Merry Christmas and update them on what is going on in everyday life. Without doubt, a change of residence is going to be contained in that update! However, many believe that a mention of the move will likely be sufficient, and choose to send out an independent update of address notice to the people who need to have it. Should you be moving any other time that approach is effective, but you can kill two birds with one stone if you're moving over the holidays. Add your change of address announcement in your holiday card (or inside the same envelope if you want to have them at least somewhat separate) to reduce postage and time.
Hire a Professional Moving Company Now
Professional movers do take the chance to grant their staff vacation time over the holidays, to allow them to spend time with their loved ones and get some well-deserved downtime. As a result, moving companies can be thinly staffed throughout the holidays and might have less availabilities for moving jobs. At the time you pick a date for your move, schedule your moving company in Tulsa and Oklahoma City ASAP to allow them to make certain to staff your move sufficiently in advance.
