Moving, in general, is a tough task. However, when moving from Fort Smith to San Antonio the word tough takes a whole other meaning. From the usual things you need to do – planning, packing, and relocating, there are a couple of other things you need to make sure that are in order. Moving across the country is no menial task. It requires discipline, will power, and hard work. However, don’t fret. Verified movers are here to help! Today we are going to share with you our top tips to make your next relocation as stress-free as possible. With the hopes of making your next move a great experience for you and your family!

The secret

What’s the fastest way to relocate across the country? How do I make sure that all the belongings, more specifically those fragile ones, get to the new destination safely? These and many more are the questions we get asked on a daily basis. And they all revolve around one simple thing. How to relocate to another state, as fast, cheap, and safely as possible?

It’s simple. Hire state to state movers. While you might not need a moving company when relocating locally, state to state moving is a logistical nightmare. That’s why we always recommend hiring a moving company. That way you won’t have to worry about anything relocation-related. All you need to do is relax and let the movers do all the hard work for you.

Moving from Fort Smith to San Antonio

Alongside hiring long distance moving companies in Fort Smith, there are a couple of other things you need to take into consideration when moving such long distances to get the biggest bang for your buck deals.

1. Declutter.

Research suggests that decluttering can help you live a more happy and productive life. So, on top of the fact that it can help you cut down the prices of your next move, it could actually also help you live a more meaningful life.

 

If you want to pay less, pack fewer belongings. Seems logical right? Well, believe us or not, a lot of people when moving long distances pack anything and everything. By doing this it will not only skyrocket the cost of their long-distance move but also create a lot of unnecessary stress for them once unpacking those items starts. So, what we recommend is quite simple. Only relocate the items that are absolutely essential. We might even recommend that you sell your bulky kitchen appliances and use that money to buy a new one, rather than to relocate it. Simply, the costs of relocating bulky items are not worth the cost of the move.

2. Hire the moving company months in advance.

When hiring a moving company make sure to hire them at least two months in advance for the cheapest relocation options.

Another great way to get awesome deals from moving companies is to hire them months in advance. This way you will get awesome cheap deals for even half the price the move would cost in normal circumstances.

Moving is always easier with the help of friends.

Besides getting rid of your stuff and booking your movers in advance we also recommend that you can also cut costs for your move by asking your friends and family members for help. Things like packing boxes, finding space to store your belongings for which you have no place on the truck, etc. are all great ways to cut corners and get an awesome deal with the movers.

Moving from Fort Smith to San Antonio, what to expect?

There are a lot of things that you will find similar to Fort Smith when you move to San Antonio. However, you will also notice some differences as well.

The good news is that people get pretty familiar with the River City fast. It’s one of the largest cities in the Country and it’s quite tourist-friendly. So, we are sure you are not going to feel like a stranger in the city. However, if you want to get to know the city as fast as possible, here are some of its more notable features.

1. The Alamo

The most notable historic building in the whole of San Antonio is the Alamo. You see, the Alamo is considered to be the hallowed ground because it is a former mission that served as a backdrop for the decisive Battle of the Alamo. The battle of the Alamo was the pivotal event in the texas revolution. The site was under siege for 15 days where Mexican troops killed a lot of Texans and immigrants from the United States. This event struck the hearts of many Texans inspiring them to join the military and beat the Mexicans in the Battle of San Jacinto which ended the rebellion. Admission is free, with the option of donating as a way to support the works of people who keep this fortress standing and in tourist-friendly conditions.

2. Fiesta

One of the most notable features in San Antonio is the Fiesta. A 10-day event held during the month of April with family-oriented fun activities and plenty of food (chicken on a stick, oysters, fried oysters, corn, corn in a cup, meats on sticks, pizza). It has over 100 events, with live music and other street performances, as well.

3. Sea World San Antonio

Besides the Fiesta and the Alamo, San Antonio is known for its beautiful and breathtaking marine-life theme park. And of course, for the world-famous Shamu the killer whale. Besides that, there are also thrill rides, sharks, penguins, and amphibian life to explore and enjoy. We recommend that you visit this place as soon as you get the opportunity too. Since we really think that this is the place that everyone should visit once they move to San Antonio. Words really can’t describe the experience. So, make sure to visit the Sea World of San Antonio and you might just get the chance to feed the dolphins as well!
