Moving, either across town or the world, is one of life’s biggest changes. It’s not just about moving boxes, it’s about opening the door to the old and closing the door to the new. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed but moving doesn’t have to be hard if you’ve got the right moving partner.
Here at Transferet, we’ve simplified moving for hundreds of professionals and families. We've discovered throughout the years what truly distinguishes a well planned move from a hectic one.
These are our top 5 carefully considered relocation advice, based on actual experience.
1. Start Planning Early Planning
The earlier you start planning, the better. Leaving things to the last minute results in overlooked details, excessive expenses, or avoidable tension.
Begin with
-
Choosing your move date
-
Inform your landlord/employer
-
Schedule a pre-move survey
-
Put away your documents and important files
With Transferet: Once you reach out, our team schedules a pre-move meeting to map out your needs, timelines, and concerns so that nothing gets missed.
2. Declutter Before You Start Packing
There’s no reason to transfer over junk you don’t use or need anymore. Decluttering saves shipping and makes unpacking simpler as well.
Divide objects in
-
Keep (things you’ll need or love)
-
Donate/Sell (items in good condition you no longer use)
-
DUMP (trashed or outdated stuff)
Transferet Tip: We walk our clients through the purge and even assist with sorting items into air, sea or local donation in some cases.
3. Trust the experts
Packing isn’t only about packing boxes, it’s about protecting your nostalgia, your valuables, and your daily life necessities.
With Transferet’s packing services, you receive:
-
Quality packing materials

4. Stay Informed
One of the biggest stressors in relocation is uncertainty. Where is your shipment? When will it arrive? Was everything loaded safely?
We take the guesswork out.
With Transeret’s real-time tracking you’ll never wonder where your shipment is and what point in journey it’s at.
Transferet Tip: Your personal move manager will stay on top of things and keep you posted, so you’re never out of the loop.
5. Plan for Settling In
A hassle-free move isn’t just about delivery, it’s about how soon and how comfortably you’re settled in. Settling-in services are so important.
With Transferet, we help you:
-
Set up utilities
-
Find schools and housing (if needed)
-
Understand the local culture and language (for international moves)
