HELPFUL HINTS TO EASE THE MOVING PROCESS
- Organize the details of move as soon as possible
- Irreplaceable items such as jewelry, photos, wills, stocks should be
carried with you rather than packing them
- Be sure to forward mail to your new address
- Make a floor plan of new house & start planning where your furniture
will go when it arrives.
MOVING DAY
-
Remove linens from tile beds and pack in an "open first" box,
- When the movers arrive, review all details and paperwork. Accompany
the van operator to take inventory. Verify delivery plans.
- If there is time, give the home a final cleaning, or arrange in advance for
someone to perform this service the day after moving out.
MOVE-IN DAY
- If you arrive before the movers, take some time to tidy up your home (dusting shelves, etc.) so the movers can unpack items directly onto clean shelves.
- Unpack your car.
- Check to make sure the utilities have been connected, and follow up on
any delays.
- Confine your pets to an out-of-the-way room to help keep them from running away or getting unduly agitated by all the activity. You might even consider boarding them overnight at a local kennel until you're settled.
- Plan to be present when the moving van arrives. Be prepared to pay the
mover before unloading.
- One person should check the inventory sheets as items are unloaded. A
second person should direct the movers on where to place items.
