Search for help via TaskRabbit. With TaskRabbit, you can hire local people to help you with odd jobs, including packing. This can come in handy for fixing up your new or old home as well.

 

Use Moving.com to find movers. You can find all kinds of moving companies and truck rentals on Moving.com. The website gives you up to four free quotes too, which can help you make your decision more easily.

 

Search Zillow to find and tour homes. Zillow is a great resource for finding homes that are for sale. If you’re moving long-distance, it can be helpful to view these pictures and descriptions. Some listings even have 3-D virtual tours, which can make the home-shopping process even easier.

Sign up for a grocery delivery service. Different services deliver to different areas so it’s best to enter your zip code on PeaPod, Shipt, or InstaCart to see what works for you. This will help you so you don’t have to go to the grocery store right away.

 

All of these resources are meant to help make your move easier on you. Moving is a lot of work and takes a lot of time and energy. With a little bit of extra help, you will have a much smoother move to Long Beach, California.
