International moving for the first time can be exciting and confusing at the same time. While looking for moving & storage services, you find yourself asking trivial questions like: what are the necessities needed? what items should you buy? To help you cut through the clutter, here’s a things-to-buy checklist, which is approved by most corporate storage providers and Morongo Valley movers.
For dining
• Cut your budget for residential storage and international moving services by getting rid of your old appliances and furniture. Buy a new fridge, stove, kitchen and dining table, and chairs.
• Tip for getting a new dining table:
• A good table can be for formal, casual, breakfast bar all the way to the study/homework table. If you take your time on a good table you can mix and match styles and designs of chairs that will move with the times.
• Smaller items that you can entrust to moving & storage services provider include coffee maker, blender, toaster, hand mixer, and microwave oven.
• Buy silverware, a multi-piece drink set, spatulas, large spoons, mixing bowls, 8-inch chef knife, paring knife and cutting board.
• Do not forget to buy a decent corkscrew.
For sleeping
• Purchase at least two pillows, pillowcases, blankets and sheets so you will have something to offer visitors and to use while the first set is in the wash.
• Residential storage do not usually accept beds. So it is better to buy a new one. Treat a good mattress and base as an investment. You can then penny pinch on fashion linen and cushions as often as you like, add and take away bed heads. A good mattress can last 15-20 years.
• Don’t forget blinds, wardrobe, clothing hangers, night table and alarm clock.
For home maintenance
• Get a washer-dryer or use a laundromat.
• Purchase laundry detergent, iron, ironing board, and laundry basket.
• To maintain the cleanliness of your new house, do not forget to buy a broom, dustpan, garbage can, garbage bags, dusters, kitchen towels, rags, mop, and bucket.
• If you are on a tight budget, ask your residential storage provider and international moving crew if they can handle these things.
Purchasing these items when you first move in will make for a much easier transition. You will have enough to worry about when you are unpacking and setting up your apartment; it would be frustrating to need to run to the store to pick up these crucial items.
