Do It Yourself? Everyone wants to save money, and many people try to save money on moving expenses by Do-It-Yourself moving. Rent a truck, or borrow one, and a friend or two. Often they wind up breaking the antique that has been in the family for generations, or daddy's back from all that heavy lifting. Often it is simply not worth the risk of losing a favorite piece or a loved one, or backing that big truck into your new home.
Why Use a Moving Company?
Moving companies are used in many different situations by almost everybody.

What is an Estate Sale and How does it work? AnEstate Salealso called aTag Salein some parts of the country, is a means of liquidating the belonging of a family or estate. These are usually much more than garage or yard sales. They are used when someone is in need of a way to sell items due to downsizing, moving, divorce, bankruptcy or death. The public is invited into the home and given the opportunity to purchase any item that is priced for sale. At times there are items that are not for sale because the family has decided to keep them or new owners of the house have made them part of a contract to buy the house. |

 Moving Boxes The corrugated boxes that are used for moving are not all made with the same quality and same materials, and they are not just the common standard boxes that you see in many retail stores. While it can be tempting to use the cheapest boxes and packing supplies available, the quality of boxes and supplies that you use will likely have a big impact on keeping your items safe and secure during the move or in a storage facility. If possible, try to choose only boxes that are specially designed to be used for moving. |

Your Small Businesses and Mobile Website
We all know that small businesses need websites to bring in more customers and give the competition a run for their money. A website is a great start – but you may be falling short when it comes to making a connection with customers on their mobile devices. People are approaching the Internet from every direction and the standard computer is no match for the consumer on the go. Mobile devices such as Androids, iPhones® and iPads® are fast becoming the most popular ways people get online. |

Other heavy items include: hot tubs, lawn mowers, heavy-duty vacuums, snowmobiles, washer/dryers and refrigerators.

Move out day and Move in day • “Work” with Aussie Moving and be on hand when the movers arrive. If you are not able to be present while the movers are there, designate a friend or family member to help out and make decisions in your absence. Let Aussie Moving know to whom you have given the authority. Be sure that your chosen representative knows exactly what to do and which valuation liability program and amount you have selected. This person may be asked to sign documents obligating you to charges. |

• Make sure to separate out which items you’ll take with you and which items the movers will take. Items you may wish to take with you could be jewelry and important documentation. • Make sure you haven’t overlooked anything in the house including minor repairs. • Mark the boxes to be shipped with the words, “Fragile,” “Do Not Load” and “Load Last” stickers. • Empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator, freezer and clean your stove all at least 24 hours before moving to let them air out. |
