Lost luggage, missed flights and movers that are delayed: life! It’s life and you can be sure that glitches are going to happen from time to time. How can you handle arriving at your new destination without your furniture and necessities? We offer some advice to lessen the frustration.
Your Plan B, C and D!
- Plan B. If money is not a concern, settle into a hotel room or executive suites until your things arrive. You can continue moving-in in other ways such as work, school and setting up your circle of health care providers and others.
- Plan C. Move in anyway! Rent some basics such as bedding: even sleeping bags may do if it’s only for a week or so. Engage in some suburban camping and try to make an adventure out of it!
- Plan D. See if family or friends can put you up until your things arrive. Family and friends are the ones you can rely on and this helps you over the hump both monetarily and support-wise.
Making the Best of It
When a moving truck is delayed it is advisable to speak with your moving coordinator to find out what exactly happened and what is being done to rectify it. Sometimes circumstances beyond anyone’s control occur. You want to figure out what is going on and if there is any compensation coming your way for incurring unexpected expenses. American Van Lines testimonials reveal that it is always wise to insure your move. Moves are generally covered by the moving companies as stipulated by government mandates, approximately 60¢ on the dollar for very specific reasons. Be sure to read your contract carefully.
Once you have established what happened and how long a delay to expect, put your best face on and get going on settling yourself and your family in your new town. Children pick up on anxiety so truly try to make the best of it.
