Moving is one of the most stressful experiences we all have to do at some point in our lives. After successfully securing a new place to live — whether it’s a house or an apartment — the time comes to finally start packing. Eliminate the excess by going through your possessions before you box them up and determine what’s really worth holding onto and what’s better off in the trash. Long-distance moving company Bolt Moving, which serves the Greater Cincinnati area, provides expert services to make your move as easy as possible.

While moving is a hassle, professional movers make it easier. Bolt Moving offers a wide variety of moving services, like packing and tracking, to simplify the process, so all you have to worry about is what to bring. When you’re sorting through your possessions, here are a few key questions these movers recommend keeping in mind:

• Is It Replaceable? You’ll certainly want to keep photo albums and family heirlooms, but what about décor like lamps or end tables? While you’ve likely grown attached to having certain items in your home, that doesn’t mean they’re necessary to keep. Consider buying new items instead to reduce your home inventory and keep the costs of moving trucks or storage facilities down.
• Have You Used It Recently? A widely-accepted rule of thumb when it comes to weeding out clothes is to toss whatever you haven’t worn in over a year. But this rule could be applied to other items of your home as well. If you haven’t used that pasta maker in over a year, chances are you still won’t use it at your new place.
• Is There Room For It? Logically, you can’t move all of your furniture and belongings to your new house or apartment if there isn’t space for them. Figure out the measurements of your new place and plan accordingly.

Don’t make moving harder than it has to be — think before you pack! The movers at Bolt Moving will handle the rest. For more information on their services, call (513) 391-7021. You can also visit the movers online.
