Relocating to New York may be the opportunity of a lifetime. However, no matter how excited you are to make the move, moving and relocating is stressful. Follow these tips to help minimize the stress of relocating to New York.
First, give yourself a lot of time. If you are a natural procrastinator, fight against it. The consequences when relocating to New York are much more significant than returning a video late or putting off a phone call.
Next, choose your interstate movers early, and choose them well. Go ahead and read the horror stories. Prepare yourself, and act accordingly. A lot of moving companies regularly give moving estimates that are far lower than the actual charge. They may give you a quote of $500, then the price jumps to $2500 the moment the truck is loaded. Not much you can do then!
It’s best if you can, work with a company that guarantees its quotes. That way, you can't get cheated. If you can't find one of these companies, consider renting a truck and moving yourself, or pick a company based on word of mouth. Don't choose a company based on an appealingly low estimate. It’s just not worth it.
