The sheer volume of items that you've accumulated over the years can be stressful to deal with when moving. It's very easy for things to become disorganized and misplaced, making the process of relocating that much more challenging.
Taking inventory of your household items before moving can make your move much easier. In this blog, we'll break down some of the most important reasons why doing this can help with the relocation process.
Helps You Keep Track of Important Items
Moving can be a whirlwind. From finding time to pack to getting the rest of your family ready for the final day, it can be a lot to take on. Cleaning up your old home and settling into a new one can be exciting, but it also takes adjustment. Not knowing where all of your home items are can make it very difficult.
By creating a household inventory list before you complete your move, you'll know exactly what you have and where it's boxed. When you show up at your new destination, you'll be able to know right where to go to get the possessions you need to feel at home.
Reduces the Chance of Unforeseen Expenses
Long distance movers normally charge based on weight. Before your move starts, you'll be given an estimate based on the predicted costs. If certain items are missed, this can increase the final cost of your move. By making an inventory ahead of time, your mover can provide you with the most accurate quote possible.
Makes Filing Potential Damage Claims Easier
Most moves go completely smoothly, but sometimes there are incidents that can put your household items at risk. These are often not the fault of the residential movers, either. In these cases, valuation insurance can reimburse you for any damage that has occurred. However, it can be tough to know exactly what you had, especially if there was catastrophic damage.
An accurate inventory report leaves a paper trail of all of your items, making it much easier to file a claim. This will help you get accurate reimbursement for any damage that may have occurred.
