10 Reasons You Feel Totally Lost After Moving

People are creatures of habit, so when we move, we find ourselves totally out of our comfort zone. Whether it’s just moving to a new apartment, home, workplace, or to a different city or town, our lives are totally disrupted, and it takes time to adjust to our new surroundings. During this adjustment period, we find ourselves feeling lost and confused for many good reasons.

Lost and Confused

Can’t find anything – Now that you’ve got everything unpacked, you can’t remember where you put anything. You spend more time looking for what you need then actually getting anything done.
Simple tasks are difficult – Even the most menial task, like brushing your teeth, becomes a chore. Something you never gave a thought to before gets frustrating as you reach for the toothpaste or toothbrush and they’re not in their usual place.
Different layout – People don’t realize how much they rely on muscle memory until they move into new surroundings. You constantly find yourself going the wrong direction and end up running into things. It’s especially annoying when you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and run into the wall.
Driving is a challenge – If you just moved to a new neighborhood or a new workplace, you find yourself lost just driving or walking around. You’re so used to just going from here to there without thinking about it and find yourself heading back to your old neighborhood or constantly in the wrong lane.
Can’t sleep – If you’re like me, sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings is very difficult. Your body gets used to a certain nightly routine, so when that gets disrupted, sleep can be very illusive. This only adds to your feelings of being lost.
Change habits – Old habits die hard and moving forces you to change just about everything. From getting dressed in the morning to putting away the dishes, everything you do has you going in circles. No wonder you feel totally lost!
Unfamiliar surroundings – No matter how crappy the place you used to live was, it was your crappy place. Now, everywhere you turn, nothing is familiar anymore. This can give you a real feeling of uneasiness that can be hard to shake.
New neighbors – Your feeling of isolation is only compounded when you realize you don’t know your neighbors anymore. It was so comforting to know that you could count on your buddy across the street to help you out in a pinch.
Stop and think – You can’t help feeling lost and confused when you have to stop and think about it before you do anything. This can almost put you into a state of paralysis.
Friends and family – Nothing makes you feel more lost than being without your friends or family close by. The loneliness of moving to a new area only intensifies your feeling of bereavement.

Just remember that feeling lost after moving is fairly common and completely understandable. As your body becomes accustomed to your new routines, you feel less disoriented each day. New muscle memories are developed and you get used to your new driving routes. Making new friends and getting to know your neighbors make it only a matter of time before you start feeling right at home.

Basics About International Moving

Migrating to a different country is more difficult than local and long distance moving. There are many things to tackle like customs and local import regulations. Here’s some basic information that will be useful.

If you are thinking of hiring a mover or relocation company, it is best that you leave the packing to them. They are experts in maximizing the content your box. You can save money and bring more things with you.

If you decide to pack your personal belongings yourself, label each box and categorize your things. Leave the box open and have a professional check it. Some shipping may have certain qualifications.

You can choose whether you want to transport your belongings by air or sea. Moving your stuff by air is faster but expensive. Sending your things by sea is cheaper but takes longer. A friendly tip: you can ship your personal possessions ahead of time. Some times there are delays.

long distance moving

Review insurance policy. Some companies do not give insurance protection. Secure your belongings that they will arrive safely on your latest address.

Research if your service provider has international partners to clear shipments through customs and deliver them to your new home.

Mover’s fee usually varies from country to country. Set up appointments with several professional and compare their rates.

Some places of the world have different voltage and adapters. Carefully assess compatibility of your electrical equipments to avoid burns and discomfort. Leave things that will be useless.

Check licensing and documentation of your relocation company. There are licensing laws to transport goods in different countries.

These are just simple and usual things to consider during overseas move. There are more laws and complicated procedures. If you think it is stressful, hire an international mover that can aid with your problems.

Getting Ready For Last Minute Moves

Moving normally takes eight weeks of planning to ensure that everything will go smoothly. However, there are instances wherein only a small span of time is available to prepare things. In last minute moves, you need to be quick in getting your possessions ready so you can cope up with the aimed date. Here are some important tips in preparing your move speedily.

Start off your preparation by sorting your possessions. Since this is an immediate move, be ruthless in sorting your belongings. The lesser possessions you choose to bring, the lesser time you will spend in packing and loading.
Sort your possessions into three groups – to keep, to donate, and to toss.
Ask for help. Call your family, friends or close officemates to help you out. Prior calling any of them, you must already have a clear picture of what will you request them to do so things will go as organized as possible.
If it is not possible to ask for help from persons you can rely on, you can obtain services from moving companies that offer professional packing. They can help you pack your possessions quickly to save you from the headaches of sorting and packing things.
You can call pick-up services to get rid of the things you junked. The amount you will be paying them is normally based on the total weight of your junked possessions. Conversely, you can contact charities to pick your unwanted possessions which are still usable.
As you pack your belongings, you can either utilize used box or buy packing boxes from any moving or office supply shop. Choose whichever option is convenient to you.

last minute moves

After preparing all the supplies and workforces needed, start packing. However, if you still find it hard to meet the planned date, hiring last minute movers may be the best option for you.

Moving Estimates Questions to Ask – Learning About Your Moving Company

Learning About Your Moving Company: Questions To Ask

Moving from place to another is quite difficult as you have to make necessary preparations to ensure that everything will go smoothly. Getting yourself familiar with the company you are planning to hire is one of the most essential components of the preparation process. Here are some of the questions you need to ask before hiring a moving company.

moving long distance

1. How long has been your company providing moving services the public?

The years of experience of a company matters as it would somehow tell the quality of the services they offer. The ideal number of years is 10 years although some younger companies also offer excellent moving services.

2. How long have you been computing moving estimates?

Knowing the number of years a salesperson has been providing estimates will tell you the level of his expertise. Additionally, a background as a moving truck driver, packer or in other aspect of the process of moving is also beneficial as that person would be more at ease to provide accurate estimates. If the salesperson refuses to answer your query, then take that as a warning sign.

3. What are the choices in pricing of estimates type available?

The willingness of a moving salesperson to explain the options for prices available will let you know how well-informed he/she is in her field. Getting reliable explanations would prevent future misunderstandings if you hire such company.

4. What is my delivery date?

The mover should give a realistic schedule. Long-distance moves may take quite a while so it’s a bit difficult to approximate the date as it normally takes a couple of days to complete the delivery. However, you need to analyze if the offered date is too good to be true or not.

Moving In London – Can It Really Be A Hassle Free Process?

Moving in London

So you’re moving. London is your location and you’re dreading the prospect. But does it really have to be as bad as it seems when moving? London has many thousands of house moves each year, isn’t there a way to find a stress-free move?In a word, yes – you can do what many others do and employ one of a multitude of professional moving services. London has loads of them and they really can provide you with stress free moving in London. Here’s a few a reasons why a company advertising ‘Professional Moving Services London’ can help you:

Professional moving services in London are professional!

If you find a company advertising Professional Moving Services London then they are likely to be just that – professionals! Having professionals on the job can be invaluable to you when moving. London firms offering this type of service will ensure that you can relax whilst moving. London has plenty of people trying to do a DIY moving job but a company offering ‘Professional Moving Services London’ is likely to be so much better when it comes to moving. London or elsewhere, leaving moving to those that do it for a living significantly cuts down on any hassle.

Professional moving services in London can save you money

Hiring professional moving services in London will obviously cost money but have you thought about how much it will cost to do your own moving? London is notoriously expensive for van hire and you have to add petrol costs to that and any money you may give a friend for helping. When all that is added up you may find that answering that ad for ‘Professional Moving Services London’ could actually have saved you money!

Professional moving services in London have insurance

You’ve loaded up a van with furniture, possessions and valuables and you’re ready for moving. London is a big place and it may be miles to your destination – but what happens if something breaks when you’re moving? London firms that provide ‘Professional Moving Services London’ will be fully insured for any damage that could happen whilst moving. London amateur movers, on the other hand, are unlikely to have that kind of cover. Just imagine all the time it would take and money it would cost to replace any possessions broken whilst moving.

Professional moving services in London know their way around

G’Day, my name is Brian. I first arrived in London in the year 2000 (from Sydney Australia); 3 years later I set up Aussie Man and Van Ltd.

Since then, with the help of my mostly expat team, we have grown into a fleet of forty vehicles and over 100 staff. I feel we have become a big part of the London Removals business.

Today I don’t do much of the driving or lifting myself, but I am kept busy as Chairman of our company. We can pack for you, we can store your possessions in our secure storage facility.

10 Challenges for Moving a Hoarder or Pack Rat

This post was originally posted on the Movers and Packers website

10 CHALLENGES FOR MOVING A HOARDER OR PACK RAT

A pack rat’s home is a museum of clutter. Hundreds of unworn t-shirts, broken computers and newspapers stacked to the ceiling are just a few examples of the things you can find around a pack rat’s house. Most people would consider these items worthy of being trashed or donated, but a pack rat does not think this way. Pack rats have a personal connection to these seemingly useless possessions and are almost always reluctant to get rid of them. When it comes time to move, pack rats pose an even bigger challenge than the average collector. It’s a battle of save or toss that only the very patient can endure. If you’re brave enough to enter the towering mess and can stomach the smells, you definitely have your work cut out for you. Here are 10 challenges for moving a pack rat:

Disagreements over what stays and what goes: When it comes to moving a pack rat, everything , and I mean everything, will be a battle of save or toss. Pack rats find sentimental value in a number of things that the average person does not, which is why they end up with so much stuff in the first place. They may hoard items that are hazardous, unsanitary and worthless, but refuse to throw out or donate these things. The fact is that some stuff has to go, but not without a fight. So, brace yourself and be patient with a pack rat during this difficult process of moving.
Too much stuff: Even after you’ve minimized the clutter, it still seems like too much stuff. And it is. Unfortunately, this is one of the biggest challenges of moving a pack rat, as well as finding a place to put everything afterward. Pack rats have more possessions than they can realistically handle, but they are usually unwilling to give it all up. If you’re up for the added challenge, try convincing the pack rat to reduce their clutter again and again during the moving process, until all they have left are the basics.
Additional weight and boxes: Pack rats will try to hold on to as much stuff as possible, without considering the amount of boxes needed or additional weight this will cause. Not to mention, they probably don’t have the room in their new place to store their belongings. It’s really more effort than necessary, so be prepared to move mountains of useless stuff.
Hazardous: Moving a pack rat is a challenge for both your patience and physical endurance. A pack rat’s home might feel like an obstacle course with narrow hallways and mountains of clutter that could collapse at any minute. Also, the structure of the house could be compromised by the amount of stuff weighing it down. It might seem silly, but I’d advise wearing a hard hat and protective gloves because you’ll be walking into a danger zone.
Difficult to organize ack rats might say there’s a method to their madness, but it will probably look like one big mess to you. Unless you’re dealing with an organized pack rat, which is very rare, you’ll probably have to sift through incredibly disheveled and disorganized rooms. Considering the amount and types of junk, you may have a hard time organizing their possessions and moving it from one place to the next.
Hard to stay within the budget: Moving can be very expensive, especially for a pack rat who will need more packing materials and boxes than the average person. He or she may also have to shell out for professional movers because their stuff is too heavy for one person to move. If the pack rat is trying to stay within their budget, you’d better convince them to cut their clutter in half (or more).
Dirty work: Moving a pack rat is a dirty job, and you’ll be battling much more than dust bunnies. Depending on what they collect and the cleanliness of their home, you could come into contact with some seriously unsanitary messes, unpleasant smells and rodents. I’d come prepared with bug spray, face masks and the nearest pest control’s number on hand.
Temptation to toss: If you’re not a pack rat yourself, you might be tempted to throw out useless things behind a pack rat’s back. It can be hard to fathom why someone would want to keep stuff like old newspapers, smelly shoes or broken TVs, but that’s the mindset of a pack rat. I wouldn’t recommend giving into your temptation to toss, because although there might be gobs of stuff everywhere, a pack rat will know if something is gone. Just don’t do it.
Reluctance to help: As stated before, pack rats have a personal tie to their belongings that most people can’t understand. Although they may want to move and get a fresh start, pack rats often struggle with change and have a hard time tossing anything. In an effort to avoid change and parting with their beloved belongings, pack rats may be reluctant to help with moving. The best thing you can do is reiterate the importance of decluttering to improve the quality of their life, and help them do so.
Emotional rollercoaster: Moving can be an incredibly emotional time, especially for pack rats who tend to have a hard time with change. Pack rats also may be embarrassed to expose their home to others and have their unsanitary habits revealed. The fact that they’ve agreed to move and declutter is a big step in the right direction. Therefore, it’s important to handle a pack rat’s moving experience with care, and be sensitive to their feelings.

Galerie Versailles works with Priority Moving – San Diego Movers to Handle Hand Crafted & Custom Luxury Furniture

Galerie Versailles is a Unique and Exquisite Purveyor of Furniture, Located in San Diego, CA

Fine classical period furniture & antiques in the French & European tradition. Direct importers of hand-crafted French and European style furnishings. Baroque, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Rococo, Venetian, Louis XVI, Directoire, Empire, Restauration, Louis Philippe, Napoleon III and Victorian. We offer one of the finest selections in North America and sell retail as well as wholesale to the trade. Recreate the splendor of French and European palaces of the 17th, 18th, & 19th Century.

Each piece of furniture offered by GALERIE VERSAILLES is created using many of the same techniques employed by French and European master cabinetmakers and ebenists over 250 years ago.

Only the finest solid woods, primarily beech chosen from healthy mature trees is used to create the frame or “carcass” of each piece. Panels and veneers are carefully matched for color and grain with special care given to avoid natural defects.

GALERIE VERSAILLES furniture has pinned mortise and tenon joints for strength and elegant detailing. Our armoire’s cross rails are dovetailed into end panels to fortify their doors side to side. Tongue and groove paneling makes tabletops and doors feel seamless. Most carving is hand done, giving each piece its’ own individual beauty.

The innate splendor of every piece of furniture is enhanced by its’ finish. every piece of GALERIE VERSAILLES furniture is finished using only high quality European lacquers and natural shellacs. Depending upon the particular piece and finish called for, it may also be hand-rubbed using the French Polish method. French Polish and beeswax create a lasting color and a rich, warm patina that will continue to enhance over time.

Here are some photos of some of the one of a kind furniture sold by Galeri Versailles:

Recently Galerie Versailles had a large 40′ container shipment of expensive furniture and hire Priority Moving’s San Diego furniture moving specialists to assist.

Below is Galerie Versailles Comments regarding this service:

“Hired to unload & unpack the contents of a 40′ container, the contents…..hand-crafted & custom luxury furniture with customers awaiting delivery. Over the years we used several movers, some very good, but none that STOOD OUT. Policy dictated each piece be removed from the container by hand, no hand trucks, dollies, or other tools. Without these common implements our move would be tough, take longer, and take its toll on the crew. During the move, a high level of professionalism was noted; careful coordination, attention to detail, special care & stellar service & the crew’s well- groomed appearance added sparkle. During the backbreaking 12 hour move on a hot day, the crew worked consistently stopping only for a short lunch & water breaks, peppering it all with humor. After completion, it was obvious Priority had STOOD OUT from previous movers. Conservative when putting our name behind a recommendation, our experience with Priority allows us to recommend them with no hesitation”

Tips for Hiring a California Moving Company

The Calfornia Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates moving companies that perform moves within California. These moving companies must be licensed by the CUPC prior to operating. Here are a few tips (from the CPUC) to follow before you choose a moving company.

Moving companies that are hired three or more days in advance must provide you with a copy of their moving services agreement, and also an Important Notice About Your Move document, and the Important Information For Persons Moving Household Goods (within California) booklet. The booklet provides rules and regulations that a moving company must follow and information about your rights.

• A moving company may provide you with an estimate in writing only after they conduct a visual inspection of the items you need moved.

• Verbal estimates or estimates given over the Internet are illegal and may not be enforceable.

• A moving company must provide a “Not to Exceed” price for all household moves. This is the maximum amount you can be charged unless you request additional services and those changes are then detailed in a “Change Order for Moving Services.” A Change Order cannot be used simply because a mover underestimated costs. Pay close attention to these

documents because if a fee dispute arises, the moving company may demand that you pay the cost quoted on these documents before releasing your goods.

• You may choose to purchase additional protection and set the value of your belongings for an amount that makes you comfortable. The Important Information For Persons Moving Household Goods (within California) booklet has more details on options.

• Verify that a moving company is authorized to operate by calling 800-877-8867 or you can check the company’s status from the CPUC’s website at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov and click on transportation.

• To file a complaint against a moving company, call 800-366-4782, or follow the “File a Complaint” link at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov. Loss or damage claims must be filed in writing within nine months after your goods have been delivered.

Checklist for Hiring a Moving Company in California:

When looking for a moving company:

Check with the CPUC to verify that a moving company is authorized to operate by calling 800-877-8867, or visit our website at www.cpuc.ca.gov and look under transportation.

Thoroughly research a moving company before hiring. When possible, visit the company’s place of business.

Check the company’s complaint history with the Better Business Bureau.

Do not accept a telephone or Internet “estimate”- they are prohibited and may not be enforceable. Estimates must be in writing only after inspection of goods to be moved.

Before anything is moved, make sure you receive and understand:

The booklet, Important Information For Persons Moving Household Goods (within California).

A moving service agreement.

The Important Notice About Your Move document showing a “Not To Exceed” price.

Any “Change Order for Moving Services” (if applicable).

Also, photograph or video tape your belongings to refer to if a dispute arises concerning charges and/or loss or damage.

Get copies of everything you sign before the move begins. At the end of your move, the moving company should also give you copies of the completed documents.

Here is what a licensed movers results will look like:
