If you are looking to move your business to a new building, or even expand to a new location, the most crucial step of getting the job done is to keep your staff in the loop. No one likes not having information that's relevant to their daily life, and it's a sign of respect that you tell your staff the details of when and how the move will take place.
Respectfulness aside, it's also a good idea to be able to designate a team of trusted employees to be your go-to crew to supervise the move. As a businessowner, you might be too busy to oversee everything related to moving. When you have your team taking care of this, you can know that your business move is in great hands while also being free to run your business in the meantime.
No two moves are exactly alike, but moving from one state to another is especially unique. The time to complete the delivery is much longer and requires a much larger team than the "two men and a truck" kind of moves that generally take place for local moving. With a long distance move, you will have a shipment date of a few weeks after your actual pickup.
You can speed up the process with an expedited delivery, but just know that it will come with a fee. The best bet is simply to wait on your things and track them every step of the way. Pack a suitcase for you and everyone in your family with the essentials like changes of clothes and some toiletries. As a reminder, NEVER put your passport, medications, or important documents in a moving truck.
When you receive notification that your shipment is ready to be delivered, make sure you are there to meet with your movers. Not only do you want your household goods back in your possession, but if the movers aren't able to drop off items to their owner, the items will be placed into storage. And, guess who has to foot the bill for it? That's right: you.
Moving long distance is a much more involved process than simply moving down the street, but once you're all settled in at the new location, the new chapter you're starting in life can begin with ease.
