10 Tips for a Successful Removal Day

Moving can be a daunting task, but with proper preparation and expert advice, you can turn a potentially stressful experience into a smooth transition. At ePenny Logistics, we understand the challenges of moving, which is why we’re ready to help you make your moving day more comfortable. In this blog post, we’ll share ten practical tips to help your moving day go smoothly. Additionally, if you are looking for reliable man with a van services in London and across the UK, be sure to contact ePenny Logistics.

 Tip 1: Start early.

The key to moving comfortably is preparation. Start packing and organising your belongings well before moving day. Procrastination can lead to last-minute chaos, so give yourself plenty of time.

 Tip 2: Create a moving checklist.

A comprehensive checklist will help you stay organised. List all the tasks you need to complete before moving day, such as contacting utility companies, reporting address changes, and hiring a reliable moving service like ePenny Logistics.

 Tip 3: Declare and donate.

Before packing, take the opportunity to declutter your home. Donate or sell the items you no longer need. Fewer items to move means a more efficient and cost-effective move.

 Tip 4: Suitable packaging

Invest in quality packaging materials and boxes. Clearly label boxes with their contents and the room in which they are stored. This will make unpacking much easier in your new home.

Tip 5: Prepare a box of necessary things.

Pack a box with the essentials you’ll need on moving day and your first night in your new home. This may include toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and snacks.

 Tip 6: Notify your neighbours.

Inform your neighbours about your travel plans. This polite gesture can help avoid any inconvenience on moving day and maintain good relationships with people in your community.

 Tip 7: Hire a man to drive a van.

Consider hiring experts like ePenny Logistics for your move. Our staff and partners provide van services in London and across the UK that are designed to make your move hassle-free. We have the experience and expertise to manage your assets carefully.

 Tip 8: Plan for children and pets

If you have children or pets, make arrangements to care for them on moving day. This will ensure their safety and reduce distractions during travel.

 Tip 9: Communicate with your mover.

On moving day, keep in touch with your removals team. Provide clear instructions on where they need to park or where you want them to place your belongings.  Clear communication will save time and avoid confusion.

 Tip 10: Take care of yourself.

Remember to rest, drink enough water and get a good night’s sleep before the big day. Your health is just as important as preparing to move.

Moving day doesn’t have to be a source of stress. By following these ten tips and hiring experts like ePenny Logistics, you can make your move a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Why Hire a Man With a Van?

Moving house has been ranked the most stressful life event by 57% of people polled, and if you’ve ever moved, you know it’s a long-haul process that takes a lot out of you emotionally and physically. If you’ve never moved before, having help from someone who knows exactly what they’re doing is invaluable. It’s an expert at your side who can give you tips and tricks to make the day go smoother, easier and end with a better result.

We have professional movers who have been there and done that. They have ideas on what you should and shouldn’t do and can improve the tough moving experience.

Safety

Moving involves lifting large and heavy things or smaller things repetitively. Getting hurt is all too easy if it’s not done correctly. It can cause problems that can follow you throughout your life. A man with a van is a helping hand that can take some of the load off, cutting the weight of large items you’re carrying in half and taking the load of those smaller boxes down. They’ll also offer their experience to help you carry smarter.

General Help

Most people are very busy and they don’t have enough time to get everything done during their day, and moving things can be daunting when you already have a tight schedule. If you have things that need to be delivered somewhere, even if they’re not too much for you to handle physically, getting a man with a van’s help can be the difference between wanting to get it done, and it being over and done with. A man with a van is a special helper who can offer a hand.

Tailored Experience

You can never be sure when you might have to move a big item; a fridge, a bookcase, a bed or a couch. You might be buying a new item from your local furniture store, or you simply might need to move things around for your daughters wedding, whatever the reason, sometimes you just need a helping hand and a man with a van can help you with even some of the most complex moves.

A man with a van offers various services that can help with these kind of scenarios. It’s like having someone in your back pocket who’s always available to help with the things that have you stumped on how you’ll do it yourself.

What’s the Difference Between a Man With a Van and a Removal Service?

So often, when you need to move things, it’s usually only one or two items. You can usually move a box or two in a taxi without any issues. But getting rid of your old couch so you can bring in a new one, or moving your wardrobe from one place to another, are simply jobs that you can’t do alone. At the same time, they’re not big enough jobs to justify hiring and paying for an entire team of movers. So you’re stuck in something of a grey area.

This is where we come in and we are purpose-built for these grey area needs. A man with a van covers a huge variety of services, from moving house to odd jobs and moving a few things for you. It’s a more closely tailored service that allows you to get all the services you need at a reasonable price.

Size of Vehicle

An established man with a van removal company will have a fleet of vehicles available in a range of different sizes, and a small team movers that can be booked additionally if extra help is required.  This flexibility can really help you to get the best for your buck.  For example a small van booked for a small load would be a lot cheaper than booking a large van for a small load.  It’s important that you book the correct size vehicle for the amount that you wish to move so you can get the best value for money.

Availability

The man with a van industry in the UK has a bad reputation for drivers not turning up or turning up late, that’s why it is better to book with an established company that has a fleet of vehicles, employees, and a good reputation.  Some man with a van companies allow you to check live availability and book online, but its important that you make your moving times as flexible as possible on your moving day just incase any unexpected delays or problems occur.

Expense

Removal services are expensive. With big operations (large vans, many people, and lots of overhead costs), large removal companies must charge at a certain height to ensure they make enough to break even or make a profit. This can make their rates much more expensive.

A man with a van is designed and priced for your smaller-scale moves. A man with a van has lower costs that they have to cover and, therefore, can afford to charge their clients much less than that of other big operations.
