I. Introduction

Not long ago, I experienced the 9th house moving.

Before buying a house, my daughter-in-law and I were in a state of wandering, and deeply experienced the various bitterness of renting. Sometimes I can understand why Chinese people like to buy houses, and only those who have experienced renting can appreciate the sense of security that houses bring.
As a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, the most unbearable thing is to look at a bunch of messy items, so I always make a moving list every time I move and then sort and store them according to the items’ attributes seal them and seal them. Finally moved.

This article also continues the entire house moving process divided into three parts: precautions before moving, recommended moving storage artifacts, and moving transportation suggestions. You can refer to them according to your needs.

2. Points to note before house moving
1. Settlement of related expenses

It looks inconspicuous, but once encountered, it is troublesome.

When I rented a house before, the cost included the property fee, but the landlord has not paid the property fee because of the conflict with the property. Now, the property may get stuck because of this. (Non-community vehicles generally need to be opened at the property. Proof of entry and exit). Therefore, the cost must be clearly stipulated in the rental contract when renting the house, remembering to be literal, and not accepting any verbal promises! !!

Expenses here generally refer to common expenses such as utility expenses, property expenses, and gas expenses. Other special expenses can be agreed upon separately. (When paying the fee, you must indicate the content included in the remarks to prevent rip-offs.)

2. Classified storage of items

When you move, you must develop a good habit of categorizing things, especially valuables and documents, and store them separately in a place that can be accessed at any time.

Other items should be stored separately, and at the same time mark the surface of the box or bag with a marker, so that you know exactly what is inside; finally, remember how many pieces of luggage you have in total to prevent omissions.

3. Recommended moving artifacts
The above mentioned the things that need to be paid attention to before moving, and the following will talk about the moving artifacts that I used when I moved.

1. Vacuum compression bag
When moving house, quilts and clothes occupy the most space. The vacuum compression bag perfectly solves this problem, that is, extracting the air can save a lot of space, and it is also very easy to carry.
The selection of specifications is mainly determined according to the items that you need to store. It is not recommended to buy too large, which is easy to “fold”. In addition, it is best to confirm the vacuum state before moving. Some compression bags have poor airtightness and may leak if stored for a long time. In this way, the effect of vacuum compression is lost.

Finally, choose the compression bag to be as transparent and non-transparent as possible, so that you can see the items stored in it, and at the same time ensure privacy. Be sure not to buy 9.9 free shipping for a cheap price. I have bought a disposable product, and it leaks after using it once. I bought this little yellow duck. It looks good and durable. It can still be used after two years. Normal use, absolutely you get what you pay for!

2. Storage box
Small items are very suitable for storage boxes. If the items are not large, it is recommended to use a storage box with a small grid, so that the storage capacity will be larger.
On the contrary, if you are storing items such as underwear, you can choose a storage box made of fabric. I have recommended a storage box from IKEA in the previous article. I like to use it very much. You can fold it in half when not in use. Too much space.

If you choose plastic material, it is recommended to give priority to transparent material (such as acrylic), even if it is not completely transparent, try to have one transparent place, because it is easy to remember what is stored in it when there are too many things. It is very troublesome to find.

3. Paper box
As mentioned earlier, some compressed bags containing “soft” items, if they are regular, “hard” items such as books or boxes, they can be directly packed in cartons, so that the space used can be maximized; Choose a paper box with holes at both ends so that it is easy to carry.
This kind of carton can be reused, so after use, the tape can be disassembled, and it can be folded and stored and can be re-attached when it is used next time. It should be noted that if you are loading books or heavy items, you must consider load-bearing. Don’t load too much at once, otherwise, the carton will be damaged. Try to store the items evenly.

4. Duffel bag
Although snakeskin bags are not popular nowadays, duffel bags are also a good moving artifact. Not only do they have a large storage capacity, but they are also easy to store after use. In terms of material selection, the fabric is the best. Try not to choose the kind of woven bag. You may puncture the bag when you encounter sharp objects.
And I see some people recommend IKEA woven bags, I have two of them. To be honest, I don’t recommend buying this specifically for moving. This woven bag can only be fastened without a zipper, and the capacity is really average.

​5, bubble film
When things are too many, bumps and bumps are most likely to occur. I used to use clothes to separate them, but I found that it was even messier. At this time, the function of the air bubble film is reflected. Wrap things with air bubble film and then stick them with tape, so worry-free.

​6, ziplock bag
I bought this for my daughter-in-law before on a business trip. Later I found out that it was really a good thing. For example, when I moved, I had a bunch of postcards in my house, which I just need to seal with a ziplock bag, and it’s transparent at a glance to know what items are stored inside.

This bag is a bit like a reduced version of the vacuum bag, but you need to manually compress it. Even if you are not moving to use it, you can usually buy some and put it at home as a storage bag.

7. Fresh-keeping bag
The standard equipment in my kitchen is now being requisitioned and used by me. The fresh-keeping bag may seem inconspicuous, but it is really easy to use. When you bring something, you don’t need to look for the bag temporarily, just use the fresh-keeping bag, which is clean and hygienic.
The fresh-keeping bag can also hold some small items when moving house. The function is similar to the ziplock bag described above, but the material is softer and more flexible. (Such as chopsticks, spoons, and other items in the kitchen)

8. Luggage
This is basically available now. To be honest, the capacity is really average. It is not cost-effective to buy a large capacity and it is empty. When moving, the suitcase is most suitable for storing documents and valuables, so it can be taken out directly once there is a need.

Four, moving and transportation skills
Choose the transport method that suits you according to the number of items.

Here I recommend Huolala first, as long as you make an appointment, the moving brother will come to your door on time to move you. They also have value-added services such as furniture disassembly and packaging to choose from. According to my experience, Huolala’s moving small Brother still works very quickly, and his professionalism is still quite high.

It should be reminded that the online payment for convenient moving services is only for freight, not including tolls, handling fees, etc. The transportation fee needs to be negotiated with the driver’s master.

Tips: When making an appointment for the mover, you must inform your location and make sure that the vehicle can enter, because when I moved, I reserved a limited number of small trucks, so sometimes your car appointment shows that it may not be caused by the restriction, you can change to another one. Point models.
Of course, if you have a car, you can take it with you if you don’t have a lot of things. However, the capacity of a general family car is not large. It is better to find a special truck to pull it.

Five, summary
The above is a personal summary of house moving and storage skills, just as a reference, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
