Before the Move

1

Create a Moving Checklist

Start with a comprehensive checklist to keep track of tasks and deadlines. This helps ensure nothing gets overlooked.

2

Declutter Before Packing

Take time to sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. This saves time and money on moving costs.

3

Pack an Essentials Box

Prepare a box with essential items you’ll need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and important documents.

During the Move

1

Label Boxes Clearly

Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This will make unpacking much easier

2

Keep Important Documents Safe

Carry important documents like passports, financial papers, and moving contracts with you rather than packing them in boxes.

3

Coordinate with Movers

Stay in touch with your moving team and provide them with any necessary instructions or information.

After the Move

1

Unpack Room by Room

Start with essential rooms like the kitchen and bathroom. This helps you settle in more quickly and stay organized.

2

Inspect Your Belongings

Check for any damages or missing items as soon as possible. Report any issues to your moving company immediately.

3

Update Your Address

Ensure you update your address with banks, subscriptions, and important contacts to avoid missing any mail.

Special Situations

1

Moving with Pets

Keep pets in a quiet, secure room during the move, and transport them in a safe carrier. Consider familiarizing them with their new home gradually.

2

Handling Fragile Items

Use bubble wrap and padding for delicate items. Label these boxes clearly to ensure they are handled with extra care and placed in a safe location during the move.

3

Moving Heavy Items

For large items like pianos, pool tables, or heavy furniture, make sure you have the right equipment and professional help to avoid injury or damage. Plan the route in advance to ensure there’s enough space to move these items safely.
