Just a while back, your Calicut to Cochin move was fulfilled as you stepped into your new home in Kerala’s commercial capital! Congratulations and good wishes! The professionals – the packers and movers in Calicut you booked have finally gotten your belongings to your new home and presently, are doing the unpacking of the moving truck, and unloading cartons at the porch of your home.
How was the moving journey like? Was it fine or did you face some difficulty along the way? In case it was all good (that is how successful moves usually are), you should look forward to the first task from your post-relocation planner – which is checking the delivered moving cartons carefully and matching them to the inventory in your hand. Apart from that, verify the quantity (count of packages) and check if each of the moving boxes is still packed well, and have their labels attached to them intact.
Note: If you spot any impairment of the moving boxes or absence of your cartons from the truck, inquire and get clarification on the same. If your moving insurance cover is in place and active, you can expect a damage reimbursement but partially. In this situation, the additional moving insurance that you brought from your insurance source would be a lot helpful!
Well, now that was quite an extensive introduction. We must not deviate from the subject we have curated this article for – some amazing post-move advice for your post-move period. Have a look:
1. Check if the essential services are active – The first thing you should check right after your move is the essential connections. Your new home should have the utilities in place before you step into it, so you can have a comfortable home-moving experience. For that, you have to speak to the service authorities for power, water, and internet at your place before the move and request cancellation. All these services should then be established in your new address soon.
2. Find and undo the box of dusting supplies – The next thing is to clean up your new home. Even if you do not do it entirely, you should at least vacuum the prime areas like the kitchen slap, the cupboards, and storage areas – these areas would be made functional before any other area of your home. So, empty the box of cleaning supplies and give a good clean-up of the to-be used spaces first, so you can start with the routine tasks.
3. Have a refreshing hot shower and meals – Nothing could be better than a revitalizing hot shower after you have experienced a long relocation journey. So, just prepare the most comfortable and loose clothes that you will put on soon after your shower, and take a quick shower. Get your meals ready if you have the provisions in easy access. Otherwise, you can anytime, order your meals from outside and have a good time bonding over food, with your family!
4. Breathe easy, slowly unpack everything – After your tummy is full, you might feel sleepy. Well, you can go, get a quick nap and then get back to your routine unpacking tasks. But if your excitement is not letting you embrace your beds, you can always continue with the unpacking and home-organizational tasks. Do not force yourself, just go easy with things. You will find several items hard to tackle, leave them for some other day when you will have both – the drive and mood!
5. Take out and establish the appliances – The appliances are the most challenging part to handle on your own. So, rather than struggling with those sensitive, heavy objects, we would advise you to let the professional movers take care of it when they come over to deliver your stuff. Remember, there are certain appliances like the refrigerator, microwave oven, air conditioner, etc. that require expert handling. So, it is better to let them handle the task. Usually, the professional movers walk an extra mile to unpack and re-arrange your stuff for you in your new home, provided, you have opted for the full-range moving service from them.
6. Take a break and have a stress-free sleep – You do not have to attend to all the unpacking tasks on the same day. You can wrap up all those jobs as per your convenience and carry out the subsequent clean-up as you settle in gradually with time. Don’t think about that. Just give all your home organization tasks a break and have some quality sleep. Slumber as long as you want to, just shed off the exhaustion of the journey and wake up in a great mood, and start again the next day.
7. Keep your documents right back in place – Remember, you prepared a folder to store all your important documents in place, during the move? Make sure to keep that folder back in place after your move is over. You will need the papers and proofs again someday in the future, so put that back in its designated place – your wardrobe, study, or your table after you have organized your new home. Do arrange all your receipts and bills along with your agreement papers, and any other important document in that folder carefully.
8. Resume work, go out, open up, familiarize – After a week of your move when it is time for you to get back to your work, go with all your heart and never allow yourself to feel by yourself. You have just moved to a new place, surely it will take some time for you to get accustomed to the bitter-sweet change, but you have your work to look upon; a new, beautiful house to look forward to, and an entirely new world to explore and accept – how can you ever feel bored and uninterested? Just go out there and welcome the new change.
After a long relocation journey, when it is finally time for you to settle into your new-fangled home, do keep the above-shared ideas in mind, and express a heartfelt appreciation to your moving team – the movers and packers in Calicut, for the professional assistance they served you with for your move!
