Moving can be exciting-but also overwhelming. Whether you’re relocating within Edmonton or to nearby areas like Sherwood Park, St. Albert, or Spruce Grove, these expert moving tips from MoveSmart Services Inc. will make your move smoother, faster, and more affordable.
1. Book Professional Movers Early
Avoid last-minute stress. Booking experienced movers at least 2-3 weeks in advance ensures availability and better rates-especially during peak moving months in Alberta.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Don’t pay to move items you don’t use. Sort and donate unwanted furniture, clothes, and electronics to local charities or thrift stores.
3. Label Boxes Like a Pro
Use clear labels with room names and content descriptions. Color-code if needed. This makes unpacking easier and faster at your new place.
4. Use Local Moving Services
Hiring local Edmonton movers who know the city’s streets, buildings, and parking regulations can save hours-and headaches.
5. Prep Large Furniture & Appliances
Disassemble beds, remove fridge doors (if needed), and secure all loose components before moving day to save time and prevent damage.
6. Consider Minor Repairs Before Moving Out
Need minor wall touch-ups or paint jobs? Our expanded services at MoveSmart now include pre-move painting and furniture repair.
7. Budget for More Than Just Moving
Include tips, snacks for helpers, fuel surcharges, and unexpected hours in your moving budget. Transparency keeps you in control.
8. Avoid Month-End Moves
Most leases end at month’s end-so moving companies are busiest then. Book mid-month or weekdays for better availability and potential discounts.
9. Pack Essentials Separately
Pack a “Day One” box with chargers, toiletries, clothes, and important documents. Trust us-you’ll thank yourself later.
10. Trust Experienced Movers
Untrained or inexperienced movers may drag out the job and damage items. At MoveSmart Services Inc., our expert team ensures fast, damage-free moves with clear timelines.
