Local PODS® Helps Residents Tackle Cross Country Moving

Moving to a new home is one thing but moving to a completely different state can be outright traumatizing. Never fear, you are not alone! According to move.org an estimated 35.5 million Americans move annually – 34% of which relocate within the same-state or an entirely new state – for many different reasons. Whatever your reason is for moving, local PODS® can help make the moving process a breeze by offering convenient tips to get you packed up and ready to roll.

• Plan a head – Create a check list of important things that need to be done during the moving process and stick to it as best you can.
• Downsize – Donate any items you’ve been hoarding over the years such as old kitchen gadgets, ill-fitting clothes, and other items that are collecting dust – That way you can move in to your new home clutter free.
• Label Clearly – Make life easier by clearly marking boxes and clear storage bins so that every item has a home when you get to your new house.
• Don’t forget the utilities – Make sure to shut off the water and electricity to bypass any additional bills.
• Change your address – Don’t forget to change your address so your mail can be routed to your new address right away.
