How to organize a move to another apartment?

Moving to a new apartment requires a lot of time and cost. Before you start packing, calculate the budget of your move: how much you have to pay for packaging materials, work truck loaders and call a taxi. And, of course, decide which option is right for you to move.

Option 1: the home
To save money, you can ask relatives or friends to help with the move. Perhaps some of them or even you yourself have required a truck to transport furniture. Besides, in this case, friends can act as a loader, which also helps to reduce costs. If you are satisfied with this option, then start moving by making a list of things. By the way, the list may be two: one will be listed those things you take with you to a new apartment, and the other ones that go in the garbage cans.

You can then measure furniture, doorways, hallways and elevator. If installed in the entrance of a conventional passenger lift - it is likely that not all goods can fit in it. This point must be provided in advance. Then buy the required number of boxes, tape and other materials for packaging items. And for greater savings some boxes you can free to ask in the shop (still rent them for recycling). Fragile items and appliances better wrap bubble wrap and soft materials. For furniture, use protective corners. Be sure to number the boxes and make all of their inventory. A basic necessities - washrooms accessories, documents - far better not to remove, to avoid having to go through all the boxes.

Organizing the move on their own, can save you money, but not time. After all, with friends and acquaintances have to negotiate on the day when it is convenient to them, not you.

Option 2: The side loaders
The second option is ideal to newcomers who have a vehicle to move, but there is no proper helpers. In this case it is necessary to hire movers "from outside". Keep in mind that the responsibility for the safety and value of items still rests solely with you, despite the fact that for this service have to pay. The work of longshoremen can cost 1-3 thousand rubles.

Cases when strangers agree to a cost of work, and in the end asked to add money "due to unforeseen circumstances." To avoid such situations, it is better to negotiate all the details in advance. For example, there is no elevator in the house - immediately warn your mates about this.

Option 3: service moving company
Perhaps, faster and safer just to move to a new apartment will removals (from the English. Moving - moving) company. Today, these organizations on the market a lot, and they offer a variety of services from ordering a taxi to move cargo "turnkey". And if you are still waiting for the keys to a new apartment, but temporarily forced to rent housing, the company can provide you the services of storage of your belongings.

In this case, the move "turnkey" will include a high-quality packaging materials, removing furniture and its collection already at the new location, job movers, transport things and even taking out the trash. Specialists of these companies know how to quickly and securely packaged items and carry them carefully. Responsibility for the safety of things at all stages of transport takes on firm, for this is a contract and additional acts, which lists the status of each item. And to be sure the goods can be insured. In addition, all amounts for services already be prescribed in the contract, which means that no one can require you to excess ruble.

The cost of moving from one-bedroom apartment will cost at least 4,000 rubles, including transportation, job movers and packing materials. Moving from one-bedroom apartment with the help of a moving company, you can pay anywhere from 6,000 rubles. A move from "treshki" worth 10 thousand rubles. But the cost of each move is calculated individually.
