Preparing to move is cheaper and smoother if you start with large appliances and furniture

Poor moving arrangements can lead to high costs

When I moved, I was so preoccupied with buying new things that I was late in getting rid of unnecessary items. You've never had that experience? "If you start early, there are many items that can be disposed of at a great price and smoothly." This time, a Nikkan Sumai writer who was late to get rid of it introduces tips, including reflection. Even if you don't plan to move, here are some ideas that will help you organize your stuff around the house.

Preparing for moving large appliances and furniture

ESSEonline

In the case of the author, old furniture and home appliances are "a group that wants to replace" as much as possible when moving. Because I think it's harder to dispose of. It's better to take the plunge and buy something new if it's likely to be replaced in a few years after you move. In the end, it will lead to cost and labor savings (of course, the way of thinking is different for each person, and I think it will change depending on the item). I brought two old chests of drawers with me to my new home, but now that I want to replace them with stylish and compact ones, I really regret it. For disposal of large furniture, consult with a moving company or real estate agent. Of course, you can also dispose of it at Jimoty or Mercari. If you want to use the city's clean center to dispose of home appliances, etc., you need to make a reservation depending on the municipality. It can be difficult to get a reservation, so make an appointment early. Also, some home appliances may not be picked up by local governments. Also, inquire at a nearby home appliance store about picking up the item.

Clothes, miscellaneous goods, and tableware are sold on flea market apps, etc.

A chance to get rid of clothes that you haven't had a chance to wear so far. In many cases, even if you bring the manure in the closet to your new home, you won't use it. The same goes for the tableware you received and miscellaneous goods sleeping in the drawer. Use the move as an opportunity to cut back on items that you normally hesitate to purchase. In the case of the author who started preparations at the last minute, it was just thrown away. If it was moving early, I wanted to sell it with a flea market app. It doesn't matter how much money you have to buy miscellaneous goods to use in your new house, so you should have been able to afford it and dispose of it wisely.
