Choose just necessary things
-
Choose just necessary things
Define things and all unnecessary stuff which you will no longer keep in a new place. Moving is the perfect time to sort what should stay and what can be sold or donated.
-
Put all of your documentation in one place
Keep contracts, bills, important educational records, receipts and moving documents together in one special folder so they are always easy to find.
-
Prepare packing supplies
Prepare boxes, tape, markers, wrapping paper and bubble wrap beforehand. Do not forget specialty packing materials for electronics and household appliances.
-
Prepare a plan for your new place
Make sure your belongings will fit comfortably in the new home. Decide in advance what should be moved, sold, donated or replaced.
-
Check moving details
Confirm the pickup and delivery addresses with your moving company and verify your scheduled moving date and time.
-
Finish packing
Complete your packing before moving day and keep aside documents, medications, valuables and other personal essentials that should stay with you.
-
Prepare labeled boxes
Label boxes by room and contents. Clearly mark fragile items and prepare a separate “open first” box with the essentials you will need immediately.
-
Remember to change your address
Update your address for utilities, banks, subscriptions, insurance providers and other organizations before your move whenever possible.
