Moving Tips
The following is a partial list of moving tips, based on some of the most important things to consider.
- Stock up on packing supplies. Moving boxes, bubble wrap, newspapers, packing foam, packing tape, plastic totes – anything and everything you can gather (ahead of time) will help when it’s time to begin packing.
- Start the packing process early. The earlier you begin packing, the more organized and stress-free you’ll be.
- Mark all moving containers with the contents and location in your new home. You can waste a lot of time (you and/or your movers) digging into boxes to figure out what they contain, and where they go in your new home.
- Make a list for all the bills, like mortgages, auto loans/leases, credit card and cell phone accounts if in case you need them.
- If you have pets, make plans well ahead of time as to where to keep them during the move – and how you’ll transport them to your new home.
- If you’re having do the packing and moving, make sure to separate valuable and/or irreplaceable items like important paperwork/documents, jewelry, keepsakes, photos or any other items you’d feel more comfortable moving yourself.
- Don’t forget to file your change of address with the Post Office.
- Plan ahead regarding prescription medications.
