The secrets to a successful move dont come from some magical formula, but rather from a blend of preparation, flexibility, and a bit of luck. Guaranteed Excellence in Oakland Park Moving Services . Lets dive into what makes a move to Oakland Park smooth and maybe even enjoyable.


First off, planning is your best friend. Without it, youre setting yourself up for chaos. You dont wanna be that person whos throwing their clothes into boxes the night before the big day. Make a checklist! (Yes, I know, its old school, but it works.) Start by sorting your stuff into categories; what to keep, donate, or toss. This way, youll avoid the dreaded last-minute frenzy.


Now, speaking of last-minute, dont do it! Procrastination is the enemy of a peaceful move. Trust me, Ive been there. Start packing weeks in advance. Its not just about boxing up your life; its about organizing it. Label your boxes clearly – this saves you from playing the guessing game later. Also, dont forget to pack a "first-night" box with essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, and maybe even some snacks. You wont regret it!


Next, let's talk about the logistics. Moving to Oakland Park means navigating through some bustling streets. Hiring a reliable moving company can be a game-changer. But hey, dont just go for the first one you find online. Do some research, read reviews, and ask for quotes. It might seem like extra work, yet it pays off when your antique vase arrives in one piece.


Ah, the paperwork! It's not fun, but it's unavoidable. Change your address, update your drivers license, and let your bank know about the move. Skipping this step can lead to missing out on important mail or facing other inconveniences.


Oh, and let's not forget about the community aspect. Oakland Park is a vibrant place with a lot to offer. Once youre settled, take time to explore your new neighborhood. Visit local cafes, parks, and shops. Getting to know your surroundings can make a huge difference in how quickly you feel at home. Say hi to your neighbors too! A simple wave or friendly chat can go a long way in building a sense of community.


Lastly, stay flexible. Not everything will go as planned, and thats okay. Maybe the weather wont cooperate, or perhaps the moving truck gets a flat tire. We do moving and storage in Oakland Park FL like a boss—with flexibility, speed, and great vibes. These things happen.

Relocation, also known as moving, or moving house, is the process of leaving one's dwelling and settling in another.[1] The new location can be in the same neighborhood or a much further place in a different city or different country (immigration). It usually includes packing all belongings, transferring to the new home, unpacking, and administrative or bureaucratic tasks, such as changing registration data.

An expatriate is an individual temporarily or permanently relocating to a country other than their native country. The individual relocating would be considered an immigrant in their new country.

Psychological effects

[edit]

On the Holmes and Rahe stress scale for adults, "change of residence" is considered a stressful activity, assigned 20 points (with the death of a spouse being ranked the highest at 100), although other changes on the scale (e.g., "change in living conditions", "change in social activities") often occur as a result of relocating, making the overall stress level potentially higher.[2]

Various studies have found that moving house is often particularly stressful for children and is sometimes associated with long-term psychological problems.[3][4][5][6][7]

Pressure points for international assignees include challenges of a new job, inability to participate in activities available at home, loss of peer support, language and other cultural difficulties, and worker's spouse being unable to find work.[8]

Assistance

[edit]

Relocation may be supported by a relocation service, which assists people in finding and moving into a new house, organizing a school for children, conducting local culture training, and supporting integration into the new location and culture.

Some jurisdictions subsidize relocations. Some target remote workers to enhance the local workforce and tax base.[9]

Governance

[edit]

There may be a legal requirement for individuals to notify authorities of a change of address if they maintain a driver's license or vehicle registration,[10] voter registration, are on parole, or are eligible for conscription (as with the Selective Service System). Some loans require the borrower to notify the lender of address changes.

In the United States, moving companies must provide the customers with a booklet "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" created by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).[11]

Immigration law impacts the requirements and feasibility of moving to another country.[12]

A moving company, also known as a removalist or van line, is a company that specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with relocating their goods from one location to another. Moving companies may offer additional or all-inclusive services for relocations, like packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, and arranging of items to be shifted. Additional services may include cleaning services for houses, offices or warehousing facilities.

Overview

[edit]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2007, 40 million United States citizens had moved annually over the previous decade.[1] Of these movers, 84.5% relocated within their own state, 12.5% moved to another state, and 2.3% moved to another country.[2]

The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest household goods shipper in the world with the Personal Property Program accounting for 20% of all moves.[3]

A 2020 OnePoll survey showed that 64% of participants consider their recent move to be one of the most stressful events they have ever encountered.[4]

Pricing and services

[edit]

United States and Canada

[edit]

In the U.S. and Canada, the cost for long-distance moves is generally determined by several factors:

  • Weight of the items to be moved
  • Distance between the original and new location
  • Speed of the move
  • Timing of the move, including the specific time of year or month

Some movers also offer consolidated shipping, which reduces costs by transporting several clients' items in the same shipment.

United Kingdom and Australia

[edit]

In the United Kingdom and Australia, the price is based on the volume of the items rather than their weight.[5] Some movers may offer flat rate pricing.

DIY moving

[edit]

The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY moving. Individuals or families may rent a truck or trailer large enough to transport their household goods. They may also acquire moving equipment such as dollies, furniture pads, and cargo belts to facilitate the move and protect their belongings.

Packing and materials

[edit]

The moving process also involves finding or buying materials such as boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap with which to pack boxable and/or protect fragile household goods and to consolidate the carrying and stacking on moving day. Self-service moving companies offer another viable option: the person moving buys space on one or more trailers or shipping containers. These containers are then driven by professionals to the new location.

Reviews for Haulin' Assets Moving & Storage


Haulin' Assets Moving & Storage

Eileen Novins

I had a great experience with Haulin’ Assets and highly recommend them. I was only moving a few miles away but I ended up having many more boxes than I anticipated. Still, they were able to do everything in the same amount of time they estimated. The customer service and communication was excellent in advance and on the day of the move. They showed up on time and wrapped everything that needed wrapping efficiently and effectively. The movers were as kind and communicative as the others I talked to at the company. The price was competitive with other estimates I received. I hope I don’t have to move again soon, but if I did, I would definitely use this company again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unsurprisingly, the cheapest way to move involves lifting those heavy boxes and furniture yourself. For almost every distance of move, renting a moving truck and driving it yourself is going to save you the most money. The one exception to this rule is for long, cross-country moves. May 16, 2025

Professional Movers: 2-5 Hours A team of two to three movers can typically complete the loading, transportation, and unloading process in just 2-5 hours. However, this estimate does not include the time needed for packing and unpacking, which can add several hours or even days to your overall moving timeline.

Our Conclusion. Hiring a professional moving company makes a lot of sense for some individuals; it's not essential for others. Moving companies have the skills and logistics needed to get your move done quickly and safely, but they can be expensive, and you'll have little control over your belongings during the process ...
