If you are planning a residential, office, or apartment relocation to or from Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Ft. Myers, Sanibel and other southwest Florida areas, it makes sense to use all the moving resources at your disposal. Everyone knows the regular moving tips: Research the mover, use good packing materials, have a plan, have cleaning materials ready, and the list goes on and on. But there are other tips – more obscure tips that you should know. Some of these tips may even seem obvious once you read them, but they do not enter your mind immediately when you think of moving tips. Here are a few:

Backpack
When you move you should always have an emergency backpack ready. It should be filled with at least 2 water bottles, toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, and a change of clothing. You may be asking yourself, “But I have all of these things in my luggage”? But the truth is, even though you can put them in your luggage, with a backpack you have easy access. These are the items that when you need them, you won’t want to rummage through your luggage for them. For example, you just moved a large screen TV up a stairwell; you need water, just reach into your backpack instead of looking for the boxes where you put the water.

Small TV/Stereo
When you get to your new home there is a chance that you may not get everything settled on the first night. In this case, you still want to be able to relax once you lay down but your big screen TV or entertainment system is still packed away. No worries, just pull out the small TV or stereo you took with you in your car and you’ll be able to relax on your first night even though your major electronics are still packed.

Pre-game
You don’t have to necessarily move everything at one time. If possible, move some stuff before your official moving day so when it comes, you’ll be more prepared. For example, maybe you know someone with a truck and they can move your bed for you before your moving day. If you can do this then you’ll be able to just lay down for a quick rest once you’ve moved in. There’s nothing worse than realizing after a long day of moving that you still have put together your bed before you can go to sleep.

If you do decide on moving your hot tub, you must know your hot tub well, on the inside and out.

Hot tub moves do require substantial man-power and even some brain power as well. If you’re trying to move your hot tub from one home to another or simply outside on a patio, understand what hot tub you have. There are different types of hot tubs and they’re constructed differently.

The first thing that needs to be taken care of is the equipment pack of the hot tub. The equipment pack consists of a heater, one or more filters, a pump, a blower as well as electrical and plumbing units

If you don’t remove the equipment pack it could get severely damage during the hot tub move. Some hot tubs don’t need it to be removed though, it’s actually best to leave it attached to the hot tub. However, if you do decide to remove the equipment pack of the hot tub, make sure all the items are drained and packaged separately so they can be safely reinstalled into your hot tub once the move is complete.

Once you’ve removed the equipment pack, you can now safely and securely relocate your hot tub. However before you start moving your hot tub, use a vacuum to suck out any water that might be left in those hard to reach places. Not all water escapes when you initially drain the hot tub. From this point you should have no problem moving the hot tub.

If you don’t feel comfortable moving an expensive item such as a hot tub, don’t risk it, use moving services. Some moving services are extremely affordable. If you did decide to move the hot tub by yourself, be ready for arduous work, though it’ll make sitting in the hot tub worth it in the end.

If you are planning a residential, office, or apartment relocation to or from Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Ft. Myers, Sanibel and other southwest Florida areas, it makes sense to consider moving insurance. Having insurance during your move is not only a smart idea, but an absolute must. You never know if your mover will accidentally break your TV, or even “accidentally” break your TV. Movers may not always be the most reliable bunch of people, but sometimes you desperately need their services. Make sure for your next move you’re things are properly insured so your moving stress can immensely reduced.

Here are the different types of insurances you can get for your upcoming move:

1. Full Value: This, like its name implies, will cover your entire shipment. This is the most comprehensive and expensive plan, but it puts more pressure on the movers to be careful with your things. Under this plan, if anything is lost, damaged, or destroyed, the movers can either offer to repair the item, reimburse you with cash, or replace it with a similar item. Some movers may limit their liability for expensive items (>$100), so make sure to ask them about their policy regarding this. The price for this protection plan varies and is subject to different deductible levels.
2. Released Value: This is the most affordable option, but it leaves you the most vulnerable. Under a released value plan, movers are only responsible for 60 cents per pound per article (intrastate moves may differ). So let’s say you packed your new iPod that weighs 5 ounces, if it breaks during transport, the mover is only liable to reimburse you approximately 20 cents. So you see that this type of insurance does not really do much in your benefit. The only plus side is that it comes at no additional cost to you. But be wary; if you do not say you want released value insurance, the mover will automatically give you full value.
3. Third-Party: If you choose released insurance, some movers may allow you to obtain third party insurance. This is an additional cost that must be purchased separately by you. With this coverage the mover will be liable for the 60 cents per pound per item. The additional losses can be recovered from the third party company that you purchased the insurance from. If this insurance is purchased through the mover, they are liable to present you with a written record of this purchase. If you use an outside company, check to make sure that your homeowner’s insurance doesn’t already cover you.

Keep in mind that there are some actions that may limit the mover’s liability of your things. These include:

• Packing hazardous or perishable items without informing the mover.
• Packing your own boxes.
• Choosing Released insured.
• Failure to notify the mover about expensive items (>$100).
• Language in your contract that relinquishes the mover from any liability.

If you wait over 9 months to issue a written claim of your losses.
